"You're touching your belly button in one of your photos, and exhibiting it in another? How does this feel for you? "
I'm not touching it in any of my photos! Exhibiting it is fine |

When you're hairy the movement of your body hair tends to dump the fibres of your clothing into your belly button (speaking as the owner of an "innie" belly button).
I often used to wonder why I had a blue ball of fluff in it every night until I found out that it was probably from the jeans I used to wear.
Anyway...not a phobia but I don't like feet. I mean, I can look at my own and others aren't a problem in a naked situation. I just won't be paying any particular attention to them. |

Well you've hidden your profile now. But you clearly had a pic of your hand over it, hence touching it?  |

I'm not being snippy, but why post a post about something you're clearly not actually fussed about?  |

I'd say putting your hand over it is different to sticking a finger in  |

"I have omphalophobia, what other weird and wonderful phobias are out there that people have? "
I'll be honest. I thought that might be a condition where you fear little men with orange faces and green hair |

Not a weird phobia but mine is spiders
But I'm horrendous with it, I literally have palpitations and get the shakes whenever I have one in my house |

People think the fear of heights is vertigo but it isn't
It's acrophobia, its acrophobia that brings on virtigo (spinning sensation) when in a panic situation |

Oh no. I get that too often, that’s why Stratford is a no go zone for that particular reason.

I had a really severe needle phobia for over 10 years. I'd avoided all sorts of medical tests and treatment over the years and had mentally accepted that it might kill me one day if I became seriously ill because I just could not accept a needle. It sounds ridiculous and melodramatic but it was completely beyond my control. I couldn't even listen to people talk about needles without having a panic attack.
Then I got pregnant and knew I needed to have the blood tests and vaccinations for the baby's sake. And I did it. And it was fine. And the phobia was over just as suddenly and irrationally as it started. Brains are strange, awkward fuckers. |

It’s a real thing, I’m sorry you suffer from this too.
It’s the large, dark, man made objects that get me. |

Aquaphobia. I nearly drowned in a local lake when I was 2 or 3. I now have a deep seated fear of any large or deep body of water, even swimming pools give me the fear and I've never learned to swim |

My next blood test is booked at Westfield. The room there is closed in with no windows, fortunately.

"Trypophobia."
I know someone who has this very badly -- and I know that even talking about the triggers can be a trigger.
It's not recognised medically, but when someone can't walk down a street because they get nauseous and itchy at the sight of anti-slip patterns, it's clearly not a laughing matter. 
If anyone does know of any safe resources that work, I'd love to hear them. |

"You're touching your belly button in one of your photos, and exhibiting it in another? How does this feel for you?
I'm not touching it in any of my photos! Exhibiting it is fine
Well you've hidden your profile now. But you clearly had a pic of your hand over it, hence touching it?
I'm not being snippy, but why post a post about something you're clearly not actually fussed about? "
The phobia can be on various levels.
Having a and over something (so it isn't visible)doesn't equate to touching.
Perhaps the ops level of the phobia is distinct.

This is a fascinating thread! I have this, but very mildly, but must be awful for your friend.
For me it's lumps or bumps that are out of place, like if a tree has a weird growth or the pavement has bubbled up... |

Exactly. And from just reading about it, it can be your belly button, OR others peoples belly buttons.
Its nice when people jump to conclusions, isnt it. |
