Flatulophobia (fear of farting)
So I know this sounds like a super ridiculous fear that even I'm embarrassed to talk about but I do have an intense fear of farting in public, this first started with a second hand embarassment situation and since that day it has bothered me so much that it progressively interfered with my day to day life and I worried that one day it'll happen to me in a public area and I'll be extremely embarassed, I really can't get my mind off of it and it is really destroying me, can anyone help???
@shycat6136 A fear is a fear and you shouldn't be embarrassed. Your feelings are valid and if this is interferring with your daily life, then this is something that needs to be taken seriously. As with many fears, I think that the best way to conquer them is to face them. We need to widen our circle of trust, stretch our comfort zone and take small steps that might be a little scary. Little by little it will get easier. The more we challenge our fears, the less they control our lives.
I wish you luck and I hope you have been doing better since this was originally posted.
