WEIRD PHOBIA
I have a really bad phobia.
It seems really odd and i think that personally its vri stupid but i have a massive phobia of feet!
I wont let anyone elses bare feet touch me and i wont take off my socks in front of anyone. It does affect some aspects in my life such as school P.E where i have to take my socks off. I try to just get over it because i think that its stupid personally, but when i think about feet it completely puts me off. i dont scream or anything i just dont like feel at all =S
IS THIS NORMAL?

Try desensitizing yourself by exposing your feet in public by walking in sandals with no socks. After doing this over a period of several days you will lose the phobia when you see people pay little to no attention to your barefeet.
Just some thoughts.
I JUST GET EMBARRESD BEING THE ONLY 1 WITH BARE FEET
Systematic desensitization is one approach, as sysophus mentioned, as is immersion therapy, which is terrifying to the phobic, but effective.
Phobias are not simply things that you can "just get over." You are well aware that your fear is irrational, but that does not stop you from feeling it!
If you can, find yourself a behavioral therapist that specializes in phobias. DO NOT just go to a psychiatrist! You must actually find a practitioner in your area who deals in behavioral therapy and phobias. If you do this, you will find that, while the treatments will be somewhat uncomfortable (you are confronting a fear here) but they are very effective and quickly so.
but i really hate feet
I think I can kind of understand what you mean it hinders certain aspects of life. I absolutely hate beaches, pools and people in jandles. lol.
but you can get over it if you want
id suggest seeking professional help if your serious about that
That's why I can't stand people having their feet anywhere near me (even if they're wearing socks or shoes) and if someone touches me with their feet then I flip out and hit them a bunch of times before going to thoroughly wash whatever part they touched.
