Is it normal to be afraid of sneezing?

Is it normal that everytime I feel like I'm about to sneeze in a public place (school, bus, gathering, etc.) I have a fear of farting right afterwards. Sometimes I'm able to just forget about it and sneeze and I know that I won't actually fart but I can't get over it. Is this some sort of social problem or is it normal?

    I love sneezing. It's somewhat orgasmic but I hate how I sound like a man when I sneeze.

    Do you normally fart after you sneeze? If so, it's a rational fear.

    I sometimes have the same fear, but that doesn't stop the sneeze.

    You may Have had a embarrassing experience with farting after you sneezed in the past, and now sneezing brings up those emotions and makes you feel anxious and fearful of the reaction of others. Try to keep in mind that the possibility of farting after you sneeze is slight and even if it did happen chances are no one would hear..... And if they did then who cares.
