I have the worst fear of being poked. Anywhere. If my friends want something and I wont give it to them they threaten to poke me until I give it to them. I have actually tried to stop the phobia once when I got about 5 people to poke me at the same time. Until I screamed. I'm not sure how it started but it actually about a year ago in 7th grade. I know my brother used to poke me a lot without me knowing and it would scare me... so maybe I'm just afraid it's him poking me. I dont know if its a very good explanation but, well, there you go. I call it- pokeaphobic. or, "I'm a poke-a-phobe."...sad yes.
