I'm so glad that I found this thread. When I first heard of emetophobia I was thrilled that what I felt had a name! The more I started to read about it, the more I realized that it wasn't exactly what I have. I worry way more about other people vomiting. I'm not scared of it because I'm worried about getting sick myself. I think it has something to so with knowing that if it's me, I can control it. If it's someone else I can't do anything to stop it!

I can't even stand seeing it in movies! Drunk people especially get to me because quite often they have no control over it at all! I don't like going out to bars and I don't like having people that I don't know and haven't drank with before at my house. It sounds weird, but the people that have drinks over here regularly, I feel like I can trust them not to get sick. People that I don't know? Who knows what could happen!

I actually wish that our phobia was called something different. It may be a 'fear of vomiting' but I feel like it isn't the same at all as what most emetophobics are feeling!
