My view on it is just that both on the internet and in real life there will always be things that trigger people. I don't really have "triggers" in that sense, but there are things that can quite affect me (like suicide, or self harm) because some of my own experiences. It really depends on how it's presented to me, but I don't really think it's everyone else responsibility to keep that stuff away from me.

That being said, it sucks if your tokophobia isn't taken seriously.

This. I don't understand why more people don't get this.

There are things that upset me, too, but that's life.

I sometimes wonder how some people on the 'net manage to function in the real world.

[kallanda_lee]

Badly? I have a friend who has a phobia of TV's...I'm not kidding. She won't go into a place if a TV might be on. Two years ago I went bowling with my friends on my birthday and she wouldn't go in because the bowling hall had screens. I mean, it really badly impacts her life because it's EVERYWHERE. I try take it into account when planning things with her, but it's impossible to foresee entirely, because screens are everywhere.

[kittenmommy]

She should probably seek counseling, because it's obviously interfering with her life.

[kallanda_lee]

She probably should, but she's one of those people who thinks the world needs fixing, not her.

To be fair I know where it comes from - she has autism and has gotten a lot of bullshit/lack of understanding for that...it's just that "fixing" some things would make her life so much easier. And I do not think the phobia is even related to the autism.

Well, television could be a source of sensory overload for her, and she may have developed a phobia of them as a result. It makes sense.

But no one should go "fix themselves" unless they really want to... if they want to live their life in fear of something relatively innocuous, I guess that's their choice. *shrugs*

[kallanda_lee]

It's not the sensory overload, actually. (I'm the one who has problems with that one).If you're really interested: it's that there are certain things she can't bear seeing. Commercials for one - she freaks out at the thought of someone trying to influence her to buy something. Sexual scenes is another - she doesn't quite get how you can "play" something so intimate as an actor and it freaks her out.

I man, objectively I find her particular phobia fascinating because I've never hear of anything like it before...but it really, really must suck living with it.

[kittenmommy]

See? That's what I get for jumping to conclusions, LOL.

Yeah, that sounds like a terrible thing to live with, especially since (IMO) it's really not rational. I'm not afraid of snakes, but I get people who are because some snakes are poisonous and can kill you. I'm terrified of spiders (mostly because of how they look), but again, some are poisonous and can kill you. Televisions? Not so much.

[kallanda_lee]

Also, prominence. I mean, I haven't seen a snake outside of the zoo. TV's? EVERYWHERE!

[kittenmommy]

Yeah, you're right. Heck, even spiders are more common than snakes... at least indoors, I'd guess!
