Unusual Phobias

Deleted user
over 2 years ago

I wanted to share a couple of unusual phobias I have. I suppose I should start by recognising that they may not actually be phobias. I'm using phobias for lack of a better word to describe them. The definition of phobia is an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something. While my responses to these things are extreme (by some people's standards), they could be viewed as rational inasmuch as they stem directly from traumatic experiences. If anyone has a better word to describe them, please let me know.

I don't know if it's because of autism that I have these aversions, or because of mental damage that's been caused by past traumas.

The first is people with gaps in their front teeth. Now,  many people have gaps in their teeth, but this is quite a specific gap. It's called a diastema and it occurs when the upper lateral incisors are missing, and a gap develops between the two front teeth.

I can't interact with people with a diastema. I know it's because of someone from my past, but it has now taken on a whole dimension for me where I mistrust (and fear) people with this characteristic. I instantly associate these people being extremely selfish, power-hungry, and/or immoral.

The second one is to do with wearing glasses. Anyone who wears glasses like these...



...makes me think they are evil, sick or perverted in some way. In some instances, it is true.


This guy has both!

Am I crazy? Does anyone else have specific or unusual phobias?

    i dont really fear anything.

    but i am wary of things that i identify as threats.
    when im walking, the main threats are cyclists and dog walkers.

    because cyclists are ignorant and cycle up fast behind you silently and ram into you and nearly kill you without warning because they cant slow down or stop and would crash into a brick wall if a brick wall was in their path because they are stupid and dont ever stop for anything.

    and dog walkers because everywhere everyone has a dog and these days people have no control over them and it attacks you. i actually got bit and needed a tetanus jab because thats absolute truth. so other day some dog walker had his dog off the lead and it went from him and squared off with me barking at me threateningly, i shouted for him to put it on lead but he was insistant it was safe and wont bite and refused  to control his dog  or put it on lead. the  first guy likely thought his dog wouldnt bite too but it did. people are idiots today in society. irresponsible.
