Is it normal to be scared of being hit in the face?

I have a fear of being hit in the face. It could be with anything: a fist, soccer ball, tennis ball, etc. It is becoming so bad that i flinch no matter what if someone pretends to throw/kick/swing/punch at my face. Im am developing a sort of paranoia now, like when one of my friends raises their fist, i flinch badly only to see that hes just taking a drink of coffee. I dont like to play soccer because of this, and i even flinch when a pillow is thrown in my direction. What the hell is wrong with me???

    People generally don't like to be punched in the face.

    I flinch too, but only when i know or am really convinced that something is flying towards my face. However, I do not flinch if somebody is just simply picking up something. It seems that you may be just a bit paranoid. But who knows? Maybe over time your phobia will start to decrease rather than increase.

    Not to worry, it just means you're a pussy, that's all. Unles you beaten as a child or spouse, then, it's just flash-backs. Either way, it's curable. If your will is strong enough.

    Its normal. If you're afraid of getting hurt its only natural to brace yourself when you feel scared.

    I'm the same OMG! No, really. I could never play football because I always afraid that a player would kick the ball right in my face when passing to another player. As kids like to relly give the ball a good old smack, the speed it goes at makes me afraid to get in the way of it.
