Is it normal i can't stand people touching my knees

It just really grosses me out I keep thinking they are gonna pop out of place! I was play fighting with my boyfriend and he sat on them and I got really nauseous. In fact I'm cringing now just writing about it!!

  • If they do pop out of place, they can be popped back - no worries. What's the worst that could happen?

    My kneecaps pop out of place daily...it's not as bad as you think.
    You have an over-exaggerated fear...try exposure exercises. Have someone repeatedly touch your knees until the anxiety lessens.

    I've tried exposure exercises. I found that it started as a fear of breaking my knee, then turned into being repulsed just by the idea of someone touching my knee. I'm sometimes grossed out by touching my own knees.I cringe and I flinch when my knee is being touched now but not nearly as bad as i used to be i would have little anxiety attacks about it.

    My friend Kirstie has a huge fear of people touching her knee caps, she screams whenever we go near them so we do it for banter tbf! Lol she even turns away when we touch our own lol! She will never get over it and won't let us touch them ever. Unfortunately when they are bent (like her) it's not an issue! Help us

  • Did they fly away into some parallel dimension and become lost?
