I'm absolutely terrified of onions. I fear how they burn your eyes and I think because of that, I developed this insane fear.

I can't even see an onion because it freaks me out and so my entire family never cooks with onions or if they do, they just mince it up really small so I won't notice it, but I don't eat it. I can't eat anything with onions.

I was at the grocery store and this woman dropped an onion from the bag while it was gonna be put on the conveyer belt and guess what? She asked me to get that for her. I couldn't pick it up! So I pretended like I didn't hear her. I felt so bad because she was an old lady like 80 years old, but I couldn't help it. So then she asked again and I coughed... I didn't know what to do..

I know this isn't that bad, but I feel it kinda ruins my personality. I can't eat in a fast food place or in a restaurant because I fear the onions so basically, I can't eat out unless at a coffee shop or something. What should I do?

I'm so scared you have no idea. My parents have to keep all onions in a black bag under the counter or in this tiny fridge they bought for the cellar. What should I do???

    That is not normal at all. I mean it's normal to avoid them, but not afraid of them

    I know I'm soooo late but I just wanted to make a comment....
    I totally understand you-I've been afraid of onions ever since I was a kid, especially their skin and smell..I'm scared go near them or even think about them. Touching onions and eating them is far beyond my wildest nightmares.They might be good for our health but I can't help but doubt how something I hate the most would me healthy...

    Onions don burn ur eyes, it jus make u tear. If u place it in the water and peel it, u can't feel a thing.

    Overcome your fears. I don't like crying when I chop onions either, but sometimes you just have to pull up your big girl panties and deal with it.

    Imagine that there's an onion in front of you. DON'T PANIC.

    Is it gonna jump up and bite you? No.
    Is it gonna spray burning acid in your eyes? No.
    If you eat it, are you gonna die? No.

    Try to accept the facts.

    Just get it in your head that ONIONS WILL NOT HURT YOU!!! There's nothing to be scared about, have your family and close friends help you thru this and slowly expose yourself to them, trust me there's nothing to be afraid of.

    Wow uhm. That poor old lady!!!

    This isn't normal. But there are some people out there that are afraid of certain things.

    Do you want to get over this fear? If you do, just close your eyes one day and pick up an onion. They dont bite. And they will definitely not burn your eyes when you hold them because they have a certain type of skin on them to protect them to not spoil. Give this a try.

    You should have pushed that old lady over and told her to stop oppressing you.
