Is it normal to be afraid to eat olives?

Ok so as the tittle says I am afraid to eat olives. I can't stop thinking that there are bugs inside them. Isn't that a disgusting thought!?! Well I now won't eat olives in public and when I eat them alone I am compelled to tear every one of them open to check for bugs. IIN?

    They are terrible... But your fear is strange. Although once when I was little I found bugs on my blackberries that I had been eating, so to this day I check them all over for bugs.
    Is there a reason you think there are bugs in them?

    They're not bugs, they're called pits. They're supposed to be there. You can get olives that have had them removed.
