Is it normal that i have a fear of numbers?

26% Normal
6 Comments

I have this problem when I see pages filled with maths problems. My head starts spinning, I start shaking and I feel physically sick. It only applies to LOTS of numbers, crammed together. I don't think twice if I read someone's phone number, etc. However, calenders, contents pages and indexes in textbooks really freak me out. Is there something wrong with me?

Is It Normal?

    You have a conceptual mind, rather than an analytical mind. This will be an advantage in the future. Use this to your advantage.

    I see numbers in real life? I try to get somebody else to figure it out for me. I see numbers in a school setting? I run. I like words. I LOVE words. Not numbers. I HATE math and numbers. I'm with ya.

    It's normal.

    I know how you feel... In a sense. They're some numbers that really disturb me. And with things like phone numbers and math, have a very hard time trying to remember them.

    I guess it's a form of anxiety.

    korsakov syndrome anxiety?
    You wouldn't believe it but there actually is a form of anxiety linked to the inability of doing math caused by a lack of vitamin b1. Typical of alcoholics who beat their wives with their belts and spank them really hard while having very humiliating awkward degrading sex. For the wives at least.
