It's something so innocuous and embarassing that I really don't want to say it, even under cover of anon. In fact, it's so stupid I actually tell people it's the slightly less embarassing but still horribly embarassing generalisation of the phobia. I know being in denial about my phobia all my life is why I'm in such a mess, but I can't trust people not to laugh and link me to YouTube videos of it like it's all a big joke and doesn't leave me having nightmares for weeks.

I will say this, though - it's not an animal or a plant; it is partially an item and partly an activity that can be done with that item; it's something I've hated since childhood; and if it is related to a common phobia that phobia is suffocation. I am not going to answer any more questions about the phobia than this.

Will you let me pass that bridge if I solve your riddle though

Guess if you like, but I am not going to tell you whether you are right or wrong. I wish I hadn't even given that little bit of information that I gave now.

Look... you could have just not replied. If it's that difficult for you to talk about it, then don't!
But it's annoying to wind people up and mention details when you're not going to reveal the actual thing anyway. You sound like that guy on the bridge who only lets you pass if you solve three of his riddles.

Yeah, I realise that now. Sorry, I wasn't thinking straight when I replied.

Is it choking? I can't watch anything with people choking on plastic or rubber of any kind like wrap, gloves, bags, balloons, costumes, masks.. I can't watch scenes of childrens' parties that involved a lot of those things at once for that reason, I keep imagining everything that could go wrong

My bet's on pillows.

Re: OP

Is it being gagged by a tooth brush, because that's my phobia. Brushing twice a day is brutal.

Can we at least know the show?

Anon: if you are in a position to do so, find a therapist. When I visited one, I told them all sorts of things about myself that I thought I would be laughed at or even hated for, and instead they really, really helped me. Please do this for yourself.

This! There's nothing shameful about phobias, or whatever quirks of psyche we all have. Nobody should laugh at those things, everyone has them. Don't worry about the particulars, people have been phobic about stranger things, I'm sure.

But telling someone about it, a professional in absolute confidence, might help you come up with strategies to deal with it instead of avoidance and having to feel ashamed about it.

This.
