Anxiety about hair
25% Normal
5 Comments

Well I guess this isn't really a fear, but more of an anxiety/disgustedness. My friend, for as long as I've known her, has hated hair. Not her own hair, but the hair of others. She won't play with someone's hair or even touch it. If someone flips their hair in or near her face she will gag. She doesn't seem to be bothered by her own hair. When asked, she said she has always had this fear that she will accidentally swallow a piece of hair and it will get wrapped around the hangy thing at the back of her mouth (uvula i think it's called), then choke on it and die. Normal?
Do you think it's normal?

Everyone has different fears, while not all fears are considered to be normal to the general public for your friend the fear is very real. I suggest your friend seek therapy.

Well, she is over-reacting to it a bit but... it could happen? (Although a small possibility).

I think that it's normal to have an anxiety about hair. Especially if someone elses hair is particularly dirty. There was this girl in my Calculus II recitation who sat in front of me often, and she smelled of cigarettes and it was constantly in her hair. It would irritate me mightily if she leaned back and put her hair on my desk when I was solving a problem
