Wearing shoes makes me panic

7 Comments

well just like the title says... i can only wear flip flops.
i havent worn shoes for over a year now but i can still remember how awful it feels.
it makes me feel trapped and panic.
alot of people think this is very weird and comment me alot about it and my family realy grinds me for this habit.
even when i go out to parties/bars etc i still wear flip flops and even in prom i wore them...
is this normal? and is there a medical condition that fits this ?

    Perhaps something happened in your childhood with wearing shoes?

    I think what you are experiencing is a phobia. I'm sure there's a name for it; which I'll try to find if I can remember. For the treatment of your phobia, I think you should see a therapist.

    I never wear anything but shoes, just sneakers and boots for the rare occasions for when I'm not in the city...or I am and have just become temporarily homeless or something and need to walk around a whole lot. I don't really understand that, I don't like feeling like my feet are exposed but hey to each his own.

    I'd be interested in knowing what you wear in winter when it snows....

    I feel the same way when I put on my hockey skates. Very confining, a bit of panic, but I just have to try not to think about it and the panic goes away.

    A psychologist into behavioural therapy could help you with your shoe anxiety I think.
