    Hey


    I just wanted to say that I never knew that what I was going through was real. I have read what other people on here have said and they are doing things that I have done for years. Like plugging my ears, closing my eyesand humming during v* scenes in movies, getting my sister to preview movies for me so that I can avoid v* scenes (I love the film list!!!), I avoid using public washrooms at all costs, and I hate being in big crowds such as a classroom.


    I think I am a little different from other people on here because I do not have a fear of myself v* but of other people. I go into a panic when I think someone near me is going to. Are there other people like this too?


    I just want to say that I am so glad that there is a name for this and that I am not alone.

    Hi there, welcome to the group! I'm also afraid of both myself v*iing and others, but like Anya said there are many members here who are like you and only fear others.

    Windsorgirl,


    My phobia, eventually was only of others...and it was incredibly severe. You can go to the EXPERIENCES thread and click on the sticky links at the top STORIES OF BEING CURED or something like that, and find my story.
