I totally understand I am 29 and have had this as long as I can remember. I am not scared of them but they freak me out and make me feel sick to look at them. Over the years I have learnt to deal with Plasters and post it notes! I always get laughed at for it!
My friends think it is funny! by: Caroline
My friends at school think my phobia is just too funny. They stuck apple stickers all over my locker and on the handle as well. I could not open my locker for weeks! Now, i have learnt to open it without having to touch the stickers. I think i got this phobia when a boy in my infant school put a sticker on his tongue!!!! I can look at stickers, but not touch them or have them on my skin. :)

I have this too, some things I can deal with, other stickers, and waterproof plasters I can't even look at them because they make me feel sick. Price stickers are he worst, and I sometimes to have to get people to take them off for me, and sometimes I won't buy something because it has one on. People generally laugh at me when I tell them... but its really not that funny!
Phobia of stickers and wrappers by: Anonymous
I had a fear of stickers and I have no idea why. I also have a fear of wrapper, especially candy and gum wrappers. Does anyone one else has this phobia?
People dont understand by: Rob
I have had this phobia as long as I can remember. I made the mistake of telling one of my co-workers and now everyone at the office takes every opportunity they find to put them on me or my possessions. Today I left my ipod on a friends desk and one of the wenches put a fruit sticker on it. I had to use a clorex wipe on it before I could use it. It could be worse....I could have fallen asleep at the wheel and knocked over an electrical pole before taking out a deliver truck head on. Damn those heated seats!

i also thought that i'm the only one who fear of stickers.
My 6 year old by: Anonymous
i am so surprised to read this blog! my friend told me about it because i've always marveled at my son disliking stickers! i've come to realize that my 6 yr old son's dislike of stickers is very real. he has never ever accepted a sticker from the trader joe's cashier or anyone else for that matter. he won't go to wahoo's for lunch because the place is full of stickers, even on the benches and tables. he doesn't throw a fit, but he comments repeatedly about how much he doesn't like the stickers and he won't sit down. if he takes a bath, he has to sit on a towel because the bottom of the tub has very small, almost not noticeable, sticker grips (you can barely feel them if you move your hand over the bottom of the tub, but he knows they are there!) ... hmmmmm, who knew there was such a thing as a sticker phobia ... i will certainly be more thoughtful about steering clear of stickers!

I am so scared of stickers. One time my cousins put stickers on my blanket and pillow I started to cry. I had to take a paper to take it off. It creeped me out ever since.

WAL*MART by: Anonymous
I have two kids, ages 3 and 4, and I go into Wal*Mart and every so often they get stickers...I try to deal with it as much as I can seeing them play with them and stick them on themselves and I just cant. I try to distract them so I can throw them on the floor....

I do too!!! by: Anonymous
I cringe at certain stickers. Usually the shiny ones or small ones for some reason. I don't like any but I can look at them except the above. I hate when people try to put them on me!!! They're discusting!!! I also hate the stickers on fruit. The fear of that is fructosignaphobia which I clearly have.
omg by: Anonymous
Omg I have the same! I never liked them, they were just not my thing. Mine isn't very bad, I don't throw u or anything but still I can't stand being 10 meters around a wet sticker. The mere thought.....

Stickerphobia by: Anonymous
I thought I was alone in this! If you have it, please, become a fan on Facebook:
OMG - Stickers are so gross. I can't stand when people have them on their foreheads or shirts. I have to ask the people at Rubios not to include the sticker on the plate when I eat there.
Sticker phobia by: Anna
Oh my, I have had this phobia for years and no one can understand it at all. This morning i was sicking up blood because i was wretching that much after seeing a sticker on my husbands arm.
I was laughing at the same time, because i know how stupid it is but i cant control the being sick and racing heart.
I have no idea whatsoever where this fear comes from, but I am so realived to see that I am not the only one!
Omg!! by: Jesse.bubsno3
My friend reasearched my fear on stickers as a joke and when she told me of the blog I was suprised that other people had this fear, it is so comforting to know that I am not the only one! I feel sick at the sight of unstuck stickers and it has now got worse so that I know feel sick st the sight of even stuck down!
My friend by: Katy
My friend is scared of stickers but only when they arent stuck to anything! We all used to think that it was funny cos it seems so strange to be scared of, can any of you actually explain why? Also have any of you cured it? My friend thinks that its OCD but im not sure :S
i hate stickers by: Kelly
I thought I was the only one with this phobia; it all started when I was a kid and my uncle had a price gun and stuck those orange price stickers all over me as a joke. I get sick to me stomach when im around them and no one understands why, they think im joking but I absolutely hate them. I start to freak out. If something I buy has them on them I make my mom peel it off and bury it in the trash can.

Me too by: Jonathan
ME and 2 other people in my year at school have the same phobia, people think i'm joking and don't know how serious i'm being, ever since i got a sticker from the dentist when i was little, the sight of them just makes me feel sick.
Fear of stickers by: Vikki
I was amazed to find that my son never accepted stickers when he was young, but it is only recently that he has actully admitted that they make him feel sick. Before this I had never heard of a sticker-phobia, but he has disliked them ever since he was small. Surely there must be a name for it? He is now 11 years old and cannot even touch them. If someone sticks one on him it makes him feel ill.
same here by: George
I hate stickers ever since I was small always declined an offer of a sticker from the dentist or teachers, I cant stand them on my fruit and one on my shoe? I would go mad. I hate them so much sometimes people put the idea of me eating loads of them while im eating actual food and it puts me off and its making me feel like throwing up just typing it, im 15 and have as far as I know always had this phobia.
lol by: Anonymous
i have that same phobia. stickers are like the grossest things in the world. i hate the stickers on fruits and i hate shiny stickers or the realy small ones with happy stuff on it. it makes me want to gag when i see one stuck to my shoe. ewwww.
fear of stickers by: Sandy
I have been searching for a person who feels like this too. My son has a tremendous fear of stickers. At times, i cannot even mention the word in front of him. I have had to tell his teachers to never give him a sticker as a reward, and they think I am crazy!!
