Name my weird phobia ???

i dont know what this phobia is its really weird though :eek3:

anyone have any ideas ?

i dont like touching cardboard and hearing it rub off my skin same goes for unvarnished wood and those icecream lollies. when i was a kid i used to have to hold the lolly with a tissue or the wrapper.
when i do touch any of them the hairs on my arms stand up and i always get a shiver going down my spine, and if i bite the wooden stick in the lolly i just get the taste all in my mouth and my teeth feel weird.

if i hear someone else's skin rubbing off cardboard or they kinda drag it on a surface that bothers me too. having to shake someone's hand who looks like they have dry skin is unpleasant for me. i just cringe when ever i touch cardboard is that normal ?

Are you sure it's a phobia? It's not like you're actually scared of cardboard boxes.

I am exactly the same- cardboard, dry wood, polystyrene. My psychology teacher thought I must have been trapped in some packaging when I was little :p:

Papyrophobia and xylophobia. You should be glad for not being a hobo. Cardboard is their main insulant.

There is no actual defined term for a phobia of cardboard, but a phobia of wooden sticks/ice lolly sticks is called Hylophobia! I googled it :smile:

I'm not sure it's a real phobia. You just don't like it.

My best friend has a jewellery phobia! I used to not wear jewellery around her, but now it's a habit not to wear anything so I just never ever use any.

For her it's more the metallic texture and the thought of it being warm. She's worse with gold than with silver but can't really stand any of it.

I have had friends get stuck wth their belly button rings in the front barrier at gigs though and then it's been ripped out when they've been pulled over by security. Not pretty!

Ah, that must totally suck. I have a slight problem with one set of jewellery in particular; choker. I have no reason as to why, but i just really dislike it, just looking at it would be enough to irritate me.

Off topic, but i find your sig hilarious, Cameron's expression just makes him look constipated, along with another distinction but i can't quite catch it. :lol:

It's not really a phobia- just a sensitivity to the texture and sound. Yes, my teeth get that weird feeling too. Polystyrene is the WORST- any delivery that arrives cased in polystyrene has to be opened by someone else :p:
