The Thing.

[Smithers10030]

Do you have the 'Thing'? Like, an irrational fear of something completely normal? For example, other people usually won't hesitate to touch/interact with a certain object, but for you there's just a certain thing that makes you want to shiver every time you see it?

Well, mine's pretty irrational, but I HATE ketchup. All the other condiments, not so much. I hate the smell, and the sight of it pouring out of the bottle/packet is GROSS. It sends shivers down my spine, and I'm not even kidding >:I

Do any of YOU have the Thing? Because I know ketchup is the Thing for me.

Mortuusequusphobia. Amazing how there's a term for every phobia perhaps you had a ketchup 'trauma' before?

I used to fear knives. Classes needed for me to use one and I always hid my tendency to space out and sweat whenever people pushed me to chop spices. Eventually, I sought to conquer the fear but still have inevitable episodes of rapid breathing when seeing one. Currently, I hate cockroaches. Especially when they go into wing mode >_>

Oh god, that name. I've been looking for it for a good while.

And yes, apparently when I was young, my older sister accidentally fed me hot sauce, and yes I know they're different, but I never got over the ketchup/hot sauce thing.

It's a part of me now :P
