Finally I've met someone else other than my twin sister that share the same phobia! I can't sit on anything torn, burn, chipped or imperfect. I have the same reaction with the skin crawling and panic feeling. I had tried to research this but found nothing. I don't now how to handle this. It's so weird.
The tears make me sad D: by: Chevy
I cant believe I googled this and got a result! Alas I am not alone. I can't bear it and I can't understand how ANYONE sits on torn furniture. I have to put a cushion, cloth or bag to cover it if for some reason I HAVE to sit on it. The whole time I'll be trying to make myself feel as light as possible so that I don't feel like I'm pressing into the tear. My flesh feels like it's crawling even as I type this. It's so ridiculous and embarrassing sometimes because I don't want people to know why I'm sitting on the edge of a seat, or covering it, or simply not sitting when everyone else is seated. This is usually the case on public transport. Same goes for if there are stains, or cigarette burns on the seat...but that's a whole other fear altogether!! >.<
Torn Seats Phobia by: Anonymous
You are not alone. Me and my daughter have the same phobia. We can sit on any torn seats period. But it's good to know we are not the only ones.
