Middle-aged opinion - Irrational phobias

Episode Date: December 4, 2024

Today’s podcast was chosen by someone who watches us and listens to the podcast. We did a mashup of different phobias. That may seem really strange to everyone else, but to those people they are very real and very scary. We hope you enjoy the episode and we hope that you join us again next week and all the weeks after them. Ellie and Emily xx

um so i put thanks thanks for reaching out but we're just finding our feet he put who edits your videos for you now emily how much do you pay her so first i was like who the fuck do you think you are and second of all you've reached out to me you don't even know who emily is right so i just put uh emily is the podcast partner and he put oh and then sent me a sample of his work like uh if you don't know who emily is then i'm not interested you're clearly not watching our shit so rude are we already on he don't look straight there does it why is it do you know how you know that it isn't straight when i put on middle-aged opinion in the videos yeah yeah so in my lounge it wasn't straight either i did notice that as well so i straightened that and i

was like oh i don't want to fucking fiddle about straight for you it would bother but for me i was just like because i knew i knew it would annoy you. For me it's not a massive big deal. It's because I put it on the other way. Now what? A vida, say goodbye to you and you and you and you and you. It's a great film, that is. Yeah.

But not a musical. it's a great film that is yeah but not a musical i'll tell you keep seeing like um animal things from this um fucking tornado shit that's going on so god bless everyone out there um i keep seeing animals like swimming in the flood water and that you tell me you know what's going on yeah mildly yeah and um it's devastating it's devastating what's happening and um i just like i'm like and then like earlier on i was like no i'm not even i can't even look at it it's too upsetting i won't watch it it's well upsetting like oh no there's a hurricane shit i don't know why some people leave their animals. I don't know. I don't know. I just couldn't. Right so we've decided we're going to start with the quick one. What's the quick one? The phobia shit.

Yeah, the phobia. I mean, I've got a phobia of water, haven't I? But not really the water. It's sharks. What's in the water? It's actually sharks. And I have an irrational fear of sharks in a swimming pool. Mine, I would say... That's a real irrational fear that a lot of people have.

In a swimming pool. I remember on my shiny moon and i saw something dark in the corner because i've never been abroad before and i thought it was a crocodile um i don't like the thought of things in the water um what's going to say to you and then anytime i think about anything in the world, all I automatically think of is IPA. So I've got a fear of wasps. Not as bad as I used to be. And that is simply because I touch wood.

Simply. Not wood. I've never been stung. So I'm scared that I've got anaphylactic shock thing, which is, is that right? Yeah. Yeah. Which you don't know yet. I probably don't't because none of my

family members have so it'd be unlikely that i'm allergic to pee outs no uh no any other sort of just one certain washing powder and i can't remember what it is you probably haven't i don't think i do but so that would be what i think is an irrational fear because because you're scared of something that hasn't actually even happened exactly I'm trying to think what else scares me other than obviously the normal no they don't they mean oh my god so the other day I was there in the kitchen off that we've got pinned in room that we found well you're gonna clear clean it up now leave it to decompose what are we talking about the moth yeah i pinned it oh that's so gross um yeah so i was uh in the kitchen and he was just doing himself his pancakes i looked on the floor and it was a caterpillar

so one of the twatty cats had brought in the caterpillar um turned out it was a caterpillar of a butterfly yeah yeah so I released that back into the wild and then I emptied all the bins the wild all the bins and behind the bin in the toilet was a decomposing frog and I was just because Chris B brings you gifts all the time he killed a weasel i was really upset by it plus i've never seen a wild weasel it was only a baby i was really upset but he actually brings me them and i don't think it died of trauma because there was no blood or nothing so i think he's scared he's scared it um but he brings me them and meows until i come outside because he's like yeah this is for you whereas the other side heads off and that and i'm like if you're going to bring something it can you at least eat

it no so i don't find it some home live and goes here yeah the mice they bring him in and drop the mice because they're trying to a couple of times we've caught her at the door and we're like, no, no, no, no, you ain't coming in. She's got the... Let me in. I've got the... Because you know they're trying to teach us how to hunt. That's why they bring them alive to us. I'm not...

I'm good. I'm the one that feeds you. Yeah. Yeah. Out of the house. But none of that scares me. No mice, anything like that. I don't like spiders or insects. I don't like spiders or insects.

I don't mind spiders and insects as long as they don't fly. Apart from at work on, I can't remember what day it was. It's all been a bit of a blur this week. But we were like, yeah, get your wellies on, kids. And one of the kids went, there's a spider in my welly. And we looked and it was like this solid solid sort of looking spider and it was orange i was like nope did you look at what spider that was i've never seen it it was orange yeah no thanks uh-uh no no gone no yeah i don't don't put your foot in there

just lost the nail i bet you ain't got your glue handy um moving on I'm one nail down to be fair they've been on a whole week since we last done it oh really yeah it's good but tonight it's like tonight Matthew I'm going to be Nail-less Thinking, thinking I feel like I did see it Or am I thinking of mine? I know there's one downstairs But it's not the one It's not the one Matthew

Oh my god, you've only got yourself one of those stupid cups What stupid cups? Stanley Who even got it for me? It's not a real Stanley But you know, it was a gift I'm happy with a gift. Okay, fair play.

You know, that I wanted. To be fair, I've looked at a few and I'm like, shall I? In B&M. Not in B&M, in Home Bargains. Because Alfie lives right next to it. It knocks over very easy, though. Huh? It does knock over very easy.

Does it? Does it pour when it knocks over? It dribbles out the hole, yeah. That's what she said. You can get a little stopper, butt plug for it, if you like. What's the point in that? Moving on, don't worry. Who cares?

I'm thinking, I'm trying to think where it is. I don't think it would change the podcast in any way. Moving on, babe. It's not being something. It's in something. That's what she says. That's where my green wig was in something all the wrong things yeah i was like i wonder if i put it there and it was weeks i've got loads of weeks i've got three i really should start wearing them all the blonde one the red one i've got two bulbs well i suppose the green is a bulb

so then i saw a a wig party so basically you've got a wig yeah into that yeah but like you buy each other a wig or you bring a wig and then someone else yeah to wear it. Yeah, like a piss take wig. Yeah. You don't get to look pretty. Yeah, I'm alright with that. Right, shall we start? Yeah. Hello everyone and welcome to Middle-Aged Opinion. I'm your host Ellie. And I'm your host Emily.

And we are looking at phobias today. Irrational phobias. Yes, irrational phobias. Now, this was requested by, I want to say it was YouTube. But where we've been doing our Halloween content, it kind of got pushed. It was a request. It was, which is lovely. And we really appreciate that.

Any requests, we will definitely do our best to do. Even the crap ones. Yeah. Not the belly button though it makes me feel sick i can't do it right i don't like it i don't even like my own belly button go on oh you want me to start you want me to start this because i'm starting the next one. Okay. Right. I found them quite random, and maybe that is what a phobia is. Of course it is. Maybe they are random. I don't know.

Yeah, phobias are definitely random. But I saved a few so let's i'm gonna go with this really random one go all right it's short so we're good fear of wind on cold nights okay i'm hoping she's talking about farts i think she's talking about the wind okay is that a real phobia or is that too specific to mean anything when it is cold out and the wind picks up at night it's as if death themselves is standing behind me. I go into a panic attack and it takes everything in me not to run inside as fast as I can. Being cold is fine. Wind, even extreme wind, is fine.

Night is fine too. But when you mix them together, it's awful. I don't imagine anyone would find this pleasant but still is this but still this is to the extreme for me i don't think it's a fear of wind i think it's a fear of spooky shit at night i mean that's a lot isn't it wind, dark cold I'm fine with all of it separately but when you put it together I don't think because when she talks about the wind she's like

death itself standing behind you that's how she describes it yeah so I don't think she's scared of wind I think she's scared of what's in the dark night do you know what I mean yeah and that's all i gotta say about that much to say for it i just just like kind of random so i saw this one and it's not with the

theme of other ones i chose but i thought um it's with the theme uh-huh okay have you ever suddenly lost the fear i used to be scared of spiders for most of my life worst of all were those cellar spiders until a couple of weeks ago oh yeah them cellar spiders yeah well you can't see them i was about to take a shower i had turned on the head when I noticed a cellar spider I'm assuming it's I don't know what a cellar spider is struggling in the bathtub she she rinsed it down you know that's what happened I was able to turn off the shower and simply pick it up with my bare hand to place it somewhere safe lies everyone rinses it down the toilet no ever since i've been experimenting with this newfound bravery and today i managed to pick up a house spider with no problem well a house spider is different to a cellar spider is a cellar not part i have no idea what a cellar spider is i've always sort of admired them from afar but always kept a wide berth between myself and them i am definitely not complaining but has anyone else had a similar

experience i'm pretty sure it said cellar cellar i am saying it right yeah well there you go they're just big fat spiders i tell you what i have seen on tiktok this woman has these little fat spiders and they're really cute and they have little houses they're really cute yeah i feel like and they're like almost and she's oh, Rosie, what are you doing out there? Yeah, it's these ones. They're the little wispy, shitty ones. Oh, with the really, really small bodies and really long legs. Okay.

It's still a spider. Of course it is. I didn't know what it was called. I don't like spiders. I will generally just kill it. I tell you what I can do, though, is pick up a deadly longlegs and throw that out. They're actually crane flies. I would rather pick up a spider over a crane fly because they fly at you. I don't like flying insects. I mean

they're just so thick though, they're just so thick, though, aren't they? They're incredibly thick. They don't even last long. And that's a house spider. I don't like any of them. I'm not really like... Well, I would pick up a cellar spider over a house spider. Yeah, well... If I had the choice... Somebody said,

I haven't lost my fear of spiders to the extent of picking them up, but spiders is also the fear i've gotten used to since i had kids and i don't want them to be scared i've gotten much better with them yeah i pretty much say they're like oh there's a spider mike it's not gonna hurt you you're not gonna hurt it they keep all the uh flying insects out i tell you what I do have in the U-room above the door is one that's in the brickwork, and it just has its legs poking out. I hate that.

It looks massive, but I've never seen it out. I haven't killed it. I've just left it. If they don't bother me, I don't bother them. If they're near me... Just put your legs away. I know you're there. I don't need to see you.

If they're near me, that's a different kettle of fish. It started it at the end of the day. It came at me. I upset some at work. We've got an outdoor cupboard, and I've pulled out some of the stuff that was at the bottom of it. And as I pulled it out, I've obviously pulled one of them out. And she was huge with boots and all like massive they are

they're getting bigger whoa that's bigger than than an average it was it was huge I would not quite tranch lala but it went they are getting bigger I have got things doing having the garden I'm definitely better. If something's on me or whatever, I go, it's not real, it's not real, and like flick it off, whatever it is. So I used to be quite scared of all insects. Can I ask you something slightly off this subject? You didn't really like curse me with all the bad people coming over this way, did you?

What are you talking about now? Well, last night I was awake he was about one and i swear i think it was him he got out of bed and walked around didn't come out his door but and then walked around i could hear him moving about right and then i did sit up because like is he all right is he all right and then i heard him move about a bit more and then it stopped so this morning i was like you all right last night and he was like yeah i said you got out of bed and he's like no i didn't i'm like yeah you did because i heard you moving about and he's like no so you're not in trouble. No, so when I said all ghosts go to Emily's,

that is literally a saying from Ailey in the film. I'm like, I really hope you didn't do that to me. No. Manifesting that shout. I don't have any power, unfortunately. Otherwise, a lot of people would have orders. We know what you're like if you're manifesting. Anyway, he freaked me out this morning because I was just like,

are you all right? Shall I go in there? You should have gone in there no because he would have come out if there was a problem yeah me if I hear mine moving about and it's like what are you doing well I was between shouting but it was about one o'clock yeah still would have shouted obviously Littlen was asleep as well so yeah fair play what are you doing were you just checking if he was awake yeah no i don't have like the power to not have manifested no that they're in a have you watched alien films yeah i love them yeah so in alien when the cyborg woman goes can all aliens report to level two because that she's trying to get that is literally i just

yeah i just changed the word uh alien to go so no not a real manifestation some some spooky shite no anyway right my turn i like this one i think one of the main reason I decided to move uh continents is my fear of cockroaches this person moved continent I mean I get it right I've spent about nine years in a tropical country throughout that time I have battled my cockroach phobia head on with many many encounters i've hit my last straw after experiencing rainy season in a house i rent and finding those giant water bug type those roaches those giant water bug type those roaches coming in

from some hidden hole despite sealing up every crack and keeping the place spotless it's just possible to avoid it's just possible to avoid them here i know here and it's driving me insane i have decided to move back home to my home country where there is winter and snow and where I've never seen any roaches. UK. I can't wait. But I feel a little shame that I've been defeated by my phobia. There are other factors too, like, but if roaches didn't exist here i would likely stay anyone else ever move due to their phobia no i mean i hate cockroaches yeah so i not that we've encountered many we used to

every year that we went to tenerife we stayed in the same place so the first year i ended up getting a villa and i can't remember what had happened something had fallen down the back of the bed so i lifted the mattress and saw some dead cockroaches that's the first time i'd ever seen them dead ones you sure upside down dead whatever and then from then i was paranoid the whole time so then um i was like no can't stay in apartments because i understand like they're more likely to get in and then um went to a different hotel and got up in the morning and there was one on one of the toothbrushes no and i said to paul you've got to get it off and out before the kids get up otherwise that's it do you know what i mean so but yeah i don't like them they freak me out if you ever

watch like the hoarding programs on tv especially in america and these people go in and when i say fucking invested with cockroaches like they move a picture and they scatter it's like a nightmare to me i couldn't even do it for a million pounds no i wouldn't be okay no i'm at all the creepy bugs yeah i don't know if i'd move or get like an exterminator in all the time you'd be poor yeah it might be worth it though for the sun it wouldn't for the sun right it wouldn't it wouldn't fear of fame has no name i have a fear of becoming suddenly famous i assume this would be a name for fear of fame and yet can't find anything er jonas complex kept coming up and i'm assuming that is someone that's been famous what do you think of that oh was that it yeah I've got a fear of suddenly becoming famous unless you're doing something that's going to make

you famous then I don't know where the fear is it sounds a little irrational I mean who are you yeah but it's funny right because when we decided to do the pod obviously we talked about the good things about it like us you know doing this adventure together and hopefully something coming out of it and the downside of being completely slated online and there will be times it will come there will be people that are like oh you can't read and I'll be like shocking um and it will be something about you um and that was a worry for me because although I feel like I will brush it off and make it into a whole episode of negative comments would be quite funny um that was definitely a concern so unless you're doing something that's going to make you suddenly famous then i don't think you've got anything to worry about weird one i liked it go on okay

my bird phobia is hell that this is a real phobia though isn't it yeah so many people and paul's dad had that really yeah have you seen my honeymoon picture yeah I've got all four birds and Paul's behind me like that it's brilliant in the hole have a look I'm gonna give me the ball and she's like that behind me I'm just dreaming this is hi once supposed in the hope of finding people who can relate oh oh no ornithophobia yeah there were some that i didn't even save because of what it was called started when i was young with just being scared of the feather duster my mum kept under the sink literally couldn't open that cabin cabinet to save my life then in the middle in middle school i was babysitting and a bird got into the house and was flying around erratically which resulted in me locking

myself in a bathroom with the kids. I think that event took the phobia to a next level. Then I moved to New York City where I was 18 and I feel like the phobia escalated further at the point at this point due to the pigeons and how comfortable they are being close to people. I've narrowed down that my main fear comes from the combination of the feathers and the flapping. It makes me generally so uncomfortable and baby birds don't bother me because they don't have feathers yet yes they do baby birds don't like little birds yeah they have ugly ball yeah and then they have like stupid wispy ones don't they they're gross proper ugly when they're babies i'll say i love birds i like birds there's no phobia here um

anyway i'd say in the last three years it feels like my phobia has kicked up a notch it could be because my general anxiety has gotten worse which heightens my phobia but I struggle to be anywhere outside with food. I don't bring food to the beach or to the park or eat outside at certain restaurants because of the thought that it will attract birds my direction. I also now live in Los Angeles and can't go to nearby parks like Eco Park Lake due to the insane amount of birds. To be fair even people without the bird phobia struggle to go there for that reason. Anyway can anyone connect to this and or have any treatments that worked for them? Would love to feel liberated outdoors again. I don't, I can't relate but I can understand because it's a real fear like i say my

husband and my father-in-law had that so for me i mean sometimes the cats have caught birds and i've picked them up made sure they were all right before releasing them i really in the old flat remember the um fireplace yeah a pigeon in there once. And the bird was like, babe, babe! And I was like, relax. Got it and then let it out. Could hear it in there.

I was like, we can't leave it in there. It'll decompose. It was like, open up the fireplace. Fell through the shop, babe. I was like, come on, babe. But I can't relate. No, moreover, birds. I mean yeah i don't like them you know when they fly at you and like they smack you yeah yeah yeah yeah but um yeah but what i do like is i follow someone on tiktok that literally feeds two seagulls come to his window he's opened it

he makes them sit down like that's how long he's been feeding me he's like right sit down winston it's not winston and then they sit down and then he gives them all the salmon and that i mean it must be costing him a fortune but i think it's so sweet and then i'm like tell you what i do want i really want a crow i love crows they are so intelligent i want like a horde of crows i'm like come on a horde of crows yeah just'm like, come on. A horde of crows? Yeah, just like loads of crows. Do you know what that's called? Death something, innit? It's weird.

Go on. What is it? It was... It is. It's something to do with death. Yeah, I can't remember what it was. A murder, eh? I think it's murder.

Yeah. It's a murder. Yeah, it is murder because I remember the joke saying what's two yeah so um another woman i follow she feeds them and now they bring their presents and everything yeah they're so they reckon they're like i don't like seagulls though i don't mind seagulls though. I don't mind seagulls. No, because I was down the coast with my family and my dad had bought me like an ice cream. He took your ice cream? No, no, no. He took the ice cream off.

So there's me with my pistachio. Let's change this to skanky. Yes. Oh, pistachio. Do you know I've never tried pistachio ice cream? That my daddy bought me. My thanks, dad. Her dad's real sweet. I've never tried specific ice cream. My dad bought me. Thanks dad.

Her dad's real sweet. And as I go... I got whacked. It punched me and took my ice cream, left me with the cornetto. Did you start crying? It left a mark on my head. It punched me, yeah. Then everyone around who actually...

I'm like... I bet your dad got you another one no he didn't because it was expensive yeah it fucking always is and it's on the coast well we were in cornwall so you know it's a proper cornwall it was cornish people mate but it was delicious i'm sure as he flapped off laughing at me i'm gonna have to try and work out a way to get the crows to come to me do you think they won't come because of the cats i think the cats are scared of crows they've never caught i'll be honest with you crows they you know that they are clever so they remember faces and everything babe so i'm gonna start taking them out some nuts. They'll work it out. Come little bros, I'll take the old...

Right, anyway. I found a bed bug yesterday. Did you like that? I found a bed bug yesterday. They are... They give me... They are... They give me the most anxiety.

Bed bugs. And have caused panic attacks in the past. That's just... Right. I don't even like saying seeing or writing the name so for the first so for the last 18 to 19 hours i've been trying to stay calm but every little itch loose hair human or cat to feel like something is crawling on me when i was gonna make me itch oh mate i'll tell you sorry in a minute when i look uh there isn't anything there but it sucks the pest control

isn't coming for another 12 days i spent 12 hours cleaning a rush looking for more but so far i haven't found anything cleaning kept my mind distracted i'm hoping this is a random hitchhiker i don't think so brother where there's one there's many like the first time 14 years ago i got a i got a raid home from she means ride ride home from an acquaintance see me big word and uh wasn't told her place was infested no i found it on my clothes uh sprayed it dead and shout and showered it to the showed it to the caretaker apartment who sprayed twice in two weeks. All clear. Four years later, different apartment, same building, one bug, sprayed, all clear. Fucking hell, where does she live?

Sounds like a bit of a scam. Yeah, I lived there for 11 years, only those two instances. New building, but here two years before nothing but the occasional spider. Then yesterday morning, I saw it on the inside of my apartment door, right at the bottom. Like it was just coming on in? Yeah. Let it stuff in. Hello!

Your doorbell isn't working yes i like uh i i like by the back door i don't know what she's talking about so people are walking by my apartment probably a hundred times of the day and when anyone excuse me out. They also used the back door. After the last scare at my building. I was panicked all day. I couldn't get myself calm. And the feeling of something crawling on my skin. When nothing was there. Went on for months.

I also checked before I scratched. To reassure myself. It's just a phenomenon feeling. Even though it was found far away from my bed, I'm still super anxious about going to bed. I love my bed. It's my safe space. And I struggle with agoraphobia for more than half of my life. So I don't leave home sometimes for weeks or months at a time so um i mean i can't think of anything worse you know every time we go to butlin do you know

that's the first thing i check i pull all the sheets back and check in all the grooves and if i saw any droppings or anything, I wouldn't fucking stay there. It's a massive fear of mine. Because, you know, once they're in, babe, you've got to throw everything. They, honestly, they scare the shit out of me. I always pull the sheets back and check. So, obviously, having four cats, they go out. In and out of all the long grass and all that

and then uh twice probably twice maybe more it's happened i've been sitting there and then i see a tick tick on me not in my skin but like obviously i've seen a tick and i once a month i spray everything sofas under the sofas and all that with this really strong stuff. With a tick or a flea? A tick, a tick. Oh, my gosh. Oh, I've taken ticks out of the cats. You know where we live.

Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, yeah, so when it happens, if I see a tick, that's it. The whole sofa comes apart. I spray every inch because that stuff kills everything. So I spray once a month. I've got a big thing against fleas and ticks and that baby it freaks me out I treat my cats and dog every month how often do you do monthly

yeah yeah I don't I don't like it I especially back from work once and he had a tick embedded really yeah so uh he was like what's that I was like that's a tick mate so I got the tweezers pulled it out by its head I was like that's skanky brother nice it's where we live it's the gardens they get so yeah yes it is all right your turn okay I don't even know how that was my third excuse me right I have

thalassophobia alright yeah hi I have thalassophobia yeah brackets the fear of deep water so hopefully i said that right but i'm not entirely sure why the closest incident that it could be rooted in was when i was knocked under a wave when I was three. I never lost consciousness and the water wasn't deep, even for a three year old.

I don't remember being scared in the moment or afterwards. It could also be because I don't really know how to swim. I took classes when I was younger, but for some reason I never really got the hang of it. I'm okay at diving but not great at swimming on the surface. For some time I've been afraid of swimming in the open ocean. It's not the sharks I think they're great or the whales or anything i guess i just don't like being down there all alone with no way out is this irrational i think that the only thing weird about that is they've said i'm okay at

diving i think it's a fear of drowning and it's not the fear of the darkness do you know what I mean? For me, it's drowning. Like, I don't mind being in water. Whether it's deep or... But... I think the worst way to go is fire. Because obviously it's all your nerves.

But I think drowning is up there. Because you're completely aware yeah I think being dragged down into water is what my fear is dragged down by something yeah whether it be a current or whether it be yeah a great white fucking shark which is yeah yeah the the first initial thought but or like a giant squid I don't know yeah i i understand that fear it is like you know when we're done tough mudder and we're going under those things especially in that ice water even though i knew it wasn't far i was worried yeah because it fell even though when i went to go up i'm always right and i'll be stopped and then i'll

panic yeah yeah so i mean i can relate being held under yeah even though i knew i'd swam enough i thought have i swam enough swam enough swam so this is my last one it's only quick i don't know if you want to find one to finish this off that's quick all right i'm sorry i didn't realize we'd finished talking about oh did you want to talk more about it? That's what I thought. Right. This is a silly one, but I thought you'd like it. I've looked into... Oh, sorry, I need to read the title. Fear of looking at the sky.

What? Yeah. I've looked into it a bit. Doesn't match anything I've found. It's not a fear of falling into the sky. Whenever I look up at the sky, daytime specifically, I feel a major sense of dread and fear. It's marginally, whatever she said,

if I'm high up or not directly touching the ground, I've wondered if it could be some sort of fear of heights but it doesn't only happen when I'm high up and I don't feel any fear whatsoever looking down does anybody know anything about this I can provide more details in the comments if needed I in the comments if needed. I don't understand. I don't understand it either.

So, it's not fear of looking down, it's fear of looking up? Fear of looking up, also being up and looking up. I've never heard of anything like it. Is it because when you look up, you become slightly unstable? Maybe.

The only comment asked if she's ever had any medical issues with her ears. For Tygo, you know, when you get dizzy. Yeah, because you become unstable. She has answered and said, yes, I've had ear infections before. So maybe there's some damage to her ear canal. So when she looks up, she feels completely unstable. Yeah. That would make sense. sense hence giving her the fear done i've got nothing else to say about it get your ears looked at good luck with that yeah good luck with that one okay phobia for fear of eating other people's food sharing food with other

people okay it's interesting so since like two months ago something switched in my brain and i cannot eat other people's food share food with other people i don't mind restaurants but for example if my co-worker brought food from home and gave me something to try i cannot eat it it makes me gag that's rude also i am fine with sharing food from up with other people but they cannot put their hands in my food if they want some of my, they have to get a separate piece of silverware and cannot use my silverware. If they take a bite out of a sandwich, for example, I cannot take a bite out of where they've bitten. This all makes me physically gag and makes me want to throw up. I definitely think it's a germ thing because the only person i will

eat after is my boyfriend because we kiss and everything like if my mum wants a bite of my food if she uses my silverware i won't eat it anymore does anyone know the name for this especially if it's germ related I think it is germ related but specifically oriented around food germophobia right I feel like that's it yeah I hope you enjoyed it something a little bit different I mean me I prefer an infuriating one but I didn't mind it after all ow do you hear that click that's the most exciting thing that's happened bye bye darlings bye bye bye bye
