I totally understand what you mean. I am the exact same way. I hate seeing feet, having them touch me or near me. I don't mind my own or if you have shoes on but other than that no. My family and friends make fun of me too and poke me with their feet just to see me freak out and run away. I just think their gross and I do not like them.

Yuck... by: Anonymouse
I hate feet too. Strange, but I'm okay with my own, but NOT others. Don't like looking at them, touching them, having them touch me (!) or even hearing them (?). My friends and family love joking about it, poking me with their feet...and then watching me freak out completely (especially because otherwise, I'm a pretty chill person). It's not actually that funny =/
I don't think it's elevated to an unmanageable level so if I were to have any phobia, fear of feet isn't that horrible.

Agreed by: Anonymous
I refuse to say the word, and just looking at it on the screen is making me anxious. I even failed grade 11 math because I refused to use it in the form of measurements as well. I sleep with either shoes or socks on, and I wont take them off for anyone. People say it's ridiculous, but I disagree. I'm gad to know I'm not alone...but even in that sense I don't want to discuss it with anyone, cause I'd probably puke on you all.

Good to know. by: Anonymous
I never knew it was an actual phobia, but it's good to know there's a name for it. I suffer from this phobia too, and people think it's funny to watch me freak.
I can take shoed feet and even feet in socks, as long as the socked feet are nowhere near me. I can't handle bare feet either.
I cry when people tough me with their feet, and I have to wash the area. I also want to throw up when I see people touching or picking at their feet. If they even do so much as put on socks, I ask them to wash their hands before touching me.
It's weird, but good to know I'm not alone.

i feel the same by: Kelly
Its not childish at all. I have the same thing for years, but i only realised recently that it was an actual phobia. They completely and totally freak me out Looking at them on the telly makes me completely cringy and feel so ill and i literally have to cover my face. My mates find it hilarious and constantly think that it would be fun to chase me with bare feet or send me pictures of feet. I cant stand it I dont know why i hate them .. like you said...yes shoes are fine...socks no .. especially if there is a worn sock on the floor and i accidently stand on it i freak out. My feet i find though are ok. I cant even sit next to someone with socks on It freaks me out I cant explain it
I seriously thought i was the only person that felt this way about feet ... at least not Others dont seem to understand but in a way i know that its weird myself but i cant help it
sorry for the rambling ...

I know how you feel by: Julie
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!! I completely understand how you feel about feet. I am a 34 year old single mom with a college degree, so that just shows that it can happen to anyone. I work in an elementary school with 95% women. Spring and summer bring open toed shoes. My blood pressure goes up, I hyperventilate, and the gag reflex kicks in. My coworkers think it's funny and constantly try to touch me with their feet. I RUN! I thought I was crazy. I was glad to see that it is a real condition.

Ditto by: Anonymous
Yeah, I have that too.
And my friends think it's hilarious.
So they attack me with their feet.
And I have to scrub the area that they touched me with.
Even my friends parents do that to me.
I feel the same way.
