Hello, Very interesting site. My personal fear is of jewelry. I can't stand the thought of touching or wearing it. To top it off I will avoid people who wear too much of it.
I also have a horrible phobia of jewelry to the point where I have trouble going near other people who wear it and also avoid objects that remind me of it (i.e. certain coins, spaghetti (the shape), some keychains...) You already have a phobia of jewelry listed...is there any way to get in touch with the person who posted it? I've been looking and have come across 4 people with this phobia so far. I'm always interested to talk to others who have it (all 11 of them that exist, it seems) to compare stories and symptoms.
i too have the same thing the other 2 people mentioned...it's true!! some pastas are too similar. i have enormous problems at the cause i can't stand having all that metal in my mouth..they have to give me a shot so i feel it less. even the words bug me (ring, necklace, etc). mine is more a metal thing though, it's almost always the metal piece the jewelry is set in, rather than the jewels themselves. i'm also not great with lights where you have to pull the chain to turn them on... if i ever get married, people will just have to take my word for it...cause i'm not putting any metal evidence on my body. and don't even get me started on body piercings...
Wish I knew what the fear of jewellery is called. If its called anything at all. I have it. (Should say though, this phobia doesnt include rings for some reason) Its awful! I made the mistake of telling people at work and they take off their necklaces and try to dangle them on me! Its the dangling bit i hate most i think. Although, seeing, the thought of it touching me and actually saying the word itself makes me retch! If it touchs me anywhere I have to go wash that place straight away, if i dont i can feel it on me for hours. YAK! I'd love to hear from any other 'Jewellery-phobics'.shamelessmaloney@hotmail.com I could never have a relationship with a man who wore it, and thought of sex with a man in jewellery just FREAKS ME OUT! Urgh...im itching all over now.
its already been submitted, but i really have a very strong fear of jewelry. it makes me nauscious to just look at it, and i cannot touch it at all. i have a very hard time looking at people who wear it, and if they're wearing a lot i'll avoid them completely.
I have it too. I can’t stand the stuff. I know it’s irrational but the sight (or worse the touch) makes me feel physically sick. It’s even ended relationships. Sorry I can’t write more!
I also have a fear of jewlry and things that remind me of it. I can't eat around someone wearing or eat with someone on the telly wearing it as it makes me feel sick. I've always had this phobia but I can't imagine why. It's ruining my life!!
Wow, this is crazy how I found someone with the same with the same phobia... I guess I thought I was the only one!! With me and jewelry...I HATE IT!! I Hate when it gets near me..I run from it.. And worse of all, when it touches me...its like I cant feelthat part of my body that it touched for a while..I have to rub that spot intensely... For a long time I refused say that I was AFRAID of jewelry, but what finally made me realized, was when I cried because someone was being funny and chasing me with it, and trying to touch me with it....THAT SCARED ME TO DEATH...
