JudoMinja Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I did instinctively flinch scrolling down, but it was more humerous than frightening. I don't wear any kind of eye-liner due to my phobia- had to once for a play and had to have somebody else put it on for me while I rolled my eyes back so I couldn't see what they were doing, and I still kept flinching when I'd feel it. Can't watch doctors give me shots either- Tried to once thinking I could overcome my phobia by talking myself out of it, and I ended up hyperventilating when I saw the needle. Mostly I just get very uncomfortable and squirmy when I see something "pokey" in a film, but when it is actually aimed toward me I freak out.

pam Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 So I guess that means that 3D movies are out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMinja Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 So I guess that means that 3D movies are out?Actually, no. My brain recognizes that it is fake, and after I initially jump I'm fine. I've found all the 3D movies I have watched enjoyable and am actually now thinking that maybe this could be a potential way for me to overcome the fear.... Hmm... Now I must hunt down every 3D movie with pokey objects so that I can watch them and see if it has any desensitizing effect....EDIT: I see now how my previous post was confusing. I don't freak out when pokey objects are aimed toward me when watching a film. When I said "actually", I meant "in real life". So real life objects directed toward poking me cause me to freak out.

Wingnut Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Nope. A sesquippedalian is a person who likes/uses long words, so it has something to do with that. I'm with Backroads, though. My mom called me today just to say "happy Friday the 13th" because she knows it's my favorite day. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vort Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Nope. A sesquippedalian is a person who likes/uses long words, so it has something to do with that.(That was kind of the joke. "Sesquipedalian" -- one 'p' -- means literally "a foot and a half long".) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 I didn't think the double p looked quite right, but I was just copying from the person who corrected the other person and was too lazy to look it up myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks xforevermetalx, when I wrote it out long handed, I had the 'i' connected to the 'u' which looked like a 'w'. I wonder what the phobia is for misspelled words? Link to comment
