I'd rather have a phobia of mustard than this!

[ia2006]

It would depend what I would be trading with...would we get to choose what we trade it with? lol

[tanechka1984]

OMG! I hate mustard. It grosses me out so much. The look of it and the smell of it. My boyfriend loves it. He will leave a little bit on his plate and put it in the sink. When I rinse them off to put them in the dish washer I have to try my best to hold back gagging. My Bf thinks its funny! So maybe I do have a small mustard phobia. [img]smileys/smilies_11.gif[/img]

I said trade it but it depends what for. I'd rather this
fear then say, well, I don't know, but I'm sure there
are fears worse than this one somewhere... but I'd much
rather have a 'normal' fear like spiders or heights than
this one!

I'd rather have a phobia of something i'm not likely to come accross in day to day life such as snakes, so it'd only be a problemin a desert or a zoo [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]

I think I'd rather have a phobia of glaciers or something. There's one scary
sight I'll never have to witness! (Then watch, my family wants to go to
Greenland). [img]smileys/smilies_02.gif[/img]

I would trade, as long as it would be something I could see and prevent exposure to, like spiders. Although there are worst phobias out there than emetophobia (like fear of gravity, or standing.) check out this site: http://phobialist.com/

I'm sure that ALL phobias are bad, however, I would rather have a phobia of something that does not effect me every day. Something like a fear of spiders.

I didn't vote cause I can't decide. I think all phobias are debilitating because of the irrational nature of our thinking patterns. Since there are people on this site who have not v*ed in 20+ years, really many of them are more likely to see a snake than to v*, hey I've seen 3 already this spring. So that phobia would be a bade tradeoff for me. I do think this one is particularly bad because we don't have as much control as we would like to think, and you can't just avoid it, you have to confront at least the thought of it.

Yeah i think jkl is right, although some other phobias like a phobia of spiders, etc would i think be less worse because, with this phobia for most of us, its our own bodies we cant escape the feelings like you can run from a spider. It makes it very much more overwelming.
