I have been afraid of baloons all my life I hate when people blow them up, when they do that i cover my ears and scream. I hate when they play with baloons because I would run and scream. I remember last year I went to the haloween thing to volunteer I was 19 and kids were playing with baloons so i covered my ears i wanted to go home andscream but that would embarrasing so i covered my ears and left. Last month we found a baloon on the ground I ran so fast and screaming like a girl and im a guy. I also hate when they keep blowing air through it i get so scared and run. I hate it when they pop too i cant stand that either I would scream and run even when its done. Is this normal or im just weird

    Balloon phobia: uncommon but normal.

    I'm not phobic about them, but I hate it when they pop. :)

    Being scared about anything is normal. You should just try to get help in overcoming fears. I suggest seeing someone about it.

    Sir, you have a problem. Get professional help. I don't think it's healthy to fear something that poses no danger to you.

    @joshinator20, mylar balloons are the shiny type that kind of crinkle instead of squeak like latex balloons. Maybe there is something from your past that triggers your fear subconsciously? My mom is terrified of balloons as well..never had them in the house as a child...or now. :(

    I've always been scared of balloons too!
    But not as much as you, but you aren't weird at all, everyone has their own fears.
    I have always been scared that balloons would pop right in front of me.
    Every time my friends blow up balloon, I tell them not to blow them up too much, because I'm so scared. When I see a balloon on the ground (especially the grass), I walk away from it immediately. In water, swim away from it.
    No, you aren't the only one.
