I have gotten a little bit better at managing the weirdness ove the years, but I totally feel your pain. I live in Wisconsin and walking across packed snow on the ground is equally repulsive.

My family teases me and thinks I’m absolutely nuts cuz cotton balls send me over the edge! I recently had to go to the Mayo Clinic for migraines and sitting in the office talking to a doctor I was distracted by a clear jar full of cotton balls. I actually had to get up during the conversation and hide that jar out of site….down to the psychiatric ward I went! The dentist also knows not to come near me with a cotton ball to put in my mouth! OH. MY. GOODNESS!

Hmm… You’re right that the belly button is pretty gross. I don’t think I’d like someone to stick their finger in mine. Oh, and the outtie ones are forged from the devil.

Try to touch mine and there very well maybe bodily harm.

The thought of seeing them, of them falling on me or touching me or me walking into them just….ASKJFAJSDFJSHDFG!!! I have torn my glasses off my face and screamed in the middle of the street when walking into them (the spiders in my current location drop huge web bombs that float through the air in chunks during a certain season. It’s absolutely horrifying and I can barely go outside).

Cotton balls don’t bother me at all but now that I think of it, the texture is the same. I have a very hard time touching those fake cotton webs. I know they’re not real webs but they scare the shit out of me to touch anyway, and I think it’s the same principle! The feeling is just awful! Somehow, cotton balls don’t trigger that fear in me (what, the fear that there’s a spider in there that will jump out and poison me?)

Also, that Maury video made me so angry. I can’t think of anything worse to do to a person suffering from a real phobia than to reenact her worst nightmare and sit there and laugh at her in front of a live audience. What a huge asshole!

 @eyeonyouproductions  We’re the same you and I. Revolving doors are totally cool with me. But I know many people freak about them.
