Here are 10 MORE things that people with pendulaphobia hate or dislike.
1. We talked about blinds in the last post, but what about the little strings or chains that control the blinds? The ones that move them open and closed? Those things move around like crazy. Just, no!
2. Fans!
I'm not talking about girls that scream when Bieber comes on stage, I mean the kind that have blades and blow air and shit around. Heck, for me, even the thought of the possibility that the fans air could reach my hair, or blow something around in the room gives me a bit of anxiety.
3. Flags.
Being a short person, I don't normally think about this, but imagine a flag blowing in the wind. For some, this could be an issue.
4. Vents and grates.
This includes heating vents, air ventilation vents on the sides of buildings, and ventilation grates coming from the ground. Even something as small as a heating vent on the floor of someone's hallway could be enough to blow something around. This is a minor one for me, but I could see how this could be a problem for some.
5. Cranes.
The kind they use on construction sites, not the bird. Have you seen how much those things can lift? Have you seen how tall they an be? It's impressive. Have you seen the chains moving around? The big long ropes and chains pulling things up, or down, or over? Moving, shaking, jiggling, wobbling. I have to look away.
6. Clothes hanging out to dry.
When you hang clothes on your clothing line to let them air-dry it can be very nice. It can also be a little nerve-wracking watching the breeze. I tend to hang them up, and walk away.
7. Clothing with fringe of any kind.
Personally I am not bothered by clothing that has been ripped, or cut, and has a small fringed edge, much like the shorts that I am wearing now, however, clothing with bigger fringes, for example, those cowboy style jackets, I cannot even fathom wearing.
8. Christmas ornaments.
Yep. It wasn't until a few years back or so that this really started to bother me. But the way they just... hang there. And if someone taps the tree, everything shakes, and I just HAVE to look away. Heck, I am getting nervous just thinking about it. The mental image in my head makes me cringe.
9. Hammocks
Yep. This one is pretty self explanatory.
10. Kites.
Now that I think about it, why don't kites bother me more? I guess because I don't see them around as often as I used to when I was a kid.
That's just what I go through. It just feels pathetic see to anything that's hanging. I had it since childhood. I used to freak put just by looking at swings unlike other kids , so I mostly avoided being at a park .Every item on the list makes me shiver .even now while typing this I am having chills just thinking about them.
ReplyDeletei didn't quiet understand that it was fear but it kept increasing and i started to have panic attacks quite often no one in my family knew about this but one day i couldnt control myself i was crying for a long time then my mom got to know about my fear. Every time i had a panic attack she would be around helping me out by clearing every hanging object possible from my sight. Though i was mocked by few members my mom made me think through. She made me get some confidence to get over it . Lately iam not having many panic attacks. What she asked me to do was to try and divert myself from that (i know it is not possible to do but my mom did it for me ,probably you could take help of someone who believes you) she made me think stuff apart from that after a bit of practice it did help me a bit . though it is still scary but its better from before. I hope this can help you too. I know it is scary and difficult iam sure we can get through.If you can go ahead and help others too that are suffering like us.
All the best !!👍
Lets fight together
