interesting...I have the same fear. And everyone thinks I'm kinda weird for it. And I'm a nurse...hahaha. I can't touch them or even thinking about them makes me super nauseated! Jewelry in general kinda freaks me out.
Same! by: Anonymous
I have always had the same phobia. I won't touch them and avoid looking at them when I can. I have gotten really good at the head dodge when getting hugged by someone wearing earrings. People always think it's about the piercing but it's not, it's something to do with the earrings themselves combined with the ear lobe. It just makes me feel unbearably twisty and anxious.
Earring phobia by: Anonymous
My boyfriend has a huge earring phobia. He can't even look at them in a box. The ones hanging on cardboard are his worst nightmare. I guess I will never get them for a gift. Huh????? If he touches them accidentally he has to scrub his hands and sanitize them. It actually brings tears to his eyes.
My daughter has fear of earrings too by: Mum Judi
Hi. You are not alone. My daughter was 6 when she had her ears pierced. She really wanted them pierced but felt faint when they had been done.Then when I came to take her earrings out and she was looking in the mirror she fainted. This has lead to a phobia of earrings and piercings. Her ears have now healed and she cannot go in a shop where they sell earrings or she starts to feel sick and faint! She also can't handle the thought of needles and injections and don't know what we will do when she has to have a needle in the future

I could never put on or take off my earrings and I have my mom do it for me.
