I'm so pleased to have found this place. I thought I was weird and alone. I have had a problem with sphere like objects since I was a child. The smaller and more shiny they are the worse it gets. It's really affected my life, including eating certain foods and even being put off by seeing others eating peas or similar. If I even see any thing while I'm eating I have to look the other way as for some reason the thought of anything round in my mouth makes me panic uncontrollably. It affects other areas in my life in a similar way. Any time I've tried to explain it to anyone its been meet with ridicule and have been laughed at a lot. I don't understand why I'm like it. I can tolerate it to a point, hide my emotions as much as possible around children and I'm ok with a football or bigger objects generally.. Although if they are shiny it's much worse regardless of size. When I was younger I even had issues with seeing circles.. But this is not really an issue now.
I guess there are others like me after all
Is it normal that I fear spherical objects?
