I have had phobias for baloons, party poppers and fireworks for as long as I can remember. I hate them, and people often think im exagerating just to get attention, but why on earth would I want to make myself look like a fool on purpose? Does anyone else have this problem? x
i have the same problem!
when my friends need me to help them get a problem ready and i see balloons i have to leave the room i cant stand them!
My dog is totally afraid of balloons and plastic bags and to my knowledge he never had any trauma related incidences
I have the same problem too. People loved it at parties when I was a kid too becuase they'd chase me with them and i'd be nervous all the way through the party.
Simulary i was in Mcdonalds last week and someone was holding a balloon and I just had to get out of there, i cudnt eat properly!..
Oh dont you just hate it when people are tweaking the blow up end bit and hitting each other with them - i go cold.
I wont pull a xmas cracker either or party poppers because like Inoyoko said, it makes you jump and it feels real unpleasant!
I'm a really nervous person anyway and ive got loads of phobias so it doesnt suprise me im scared of them.
I have this problem and my little sister makes fun of me. Everything like that makes me so nervous. This past new years i was pregnant, and my husbsnds sister was popping fireworks the barrel thing fell over causing fireworks to go everywhere. It was to scary
I don't have this problem but it is totally normal. Probably when you were younger, you heard a loud noise and it scared you to death.. You just need to convince yourself that a balloon popping or fireworks will not harm you..well unless you're holding a firecracker in your hand.
I'm terrified of them. But then again I hate loud noises in general. I'm so sensitive! It makes me jump, and my heart rate will spike, and it hurts.
Also, I had a bad run-in with those stress balls. I was playing with one when I was like, 5, and it burst on me, and all the dust got in my mouth and nose. Had to go to the hospital. They were just like little balloons, and I've been terrified since.
