    I'm afraid of myself throwing up. I'm not really afraid of other people vomiting, except if I can catch it.

    I much more scared of doing it myself. I'll get creeped out when
    someone else vomits but it's not nearly as bad as when I'm sick.

    I don't know which came first...It's like the chicken or the egg question for me...Although I THINK it was fear of myself first, I'm not sure though. I just know that I fear both...[img]smileys/smilies_12.gif[/img]

    I'm definitely more afraid of myself throwing up but if someone is throwing up in my house then that scares the crap out of me because if its a bug then they've just polluted my house with it. Ugh. [img]smileys/smilies_07.gif[/img]

    I'm afraid of both, BUT I've always sort of prayed that if we're to get sick in my house that I get sick first because then I won't have to wait and wonder if I'll catch it. Is that weird?

    That makes perfect sense... the last sick bug that went round my house, I was the last to catch it, almost a full 2 days after everyone else was better... but it actually went on for about a week n a half cuz as soon as one person got better someone else would get sick. Horrific stuff.


    Um.. Im afraid of both, but if someones sick from alcohol or drugs or somethin, thats different, cuz I cant catch it. Only I still dont like to be in the room, cuz I hate the sound, n the smell. As long as I can leave the room its okay- I wont really freak unless theyre contageous or I have to watch.

    If I had to pick, I'm afraid more of others doing it. Because if others do it, and the virus didn't come from me, then I am afraid I'm going to catch it. I'm definately more afraid of others doing it.

    lmfao Louise, never heard of that before.


    sneezes and hiccups at the same time are hilarious. infact, hiccups fullstop are hilarious, my trademark phrase is "i'd marry the hiccups if i cud"

    I voted that I fear myself doing it more than others doing it.


    I haven't done it since I was about 5, I don't remember what it's like, and it scares me. I have a stomach bug and thought I would last night, I was so afraid. It ended up coming out the other end. We have family over for Easter, but I'm hanging out in my room with the door closed. I miss my old house, where my bathroom was only accessable from my room. I'm worried someone is going to go in my bathroom and a) be in there when I need it or b) make it smell bad so I get nauseous when I go back in there.


    I'm weird.
