I fear oranges.

Is it possible to be kinda scared by a fruit. I have no idea what has caused me to be so disgusted by this fruit, I just am. There's certain things I dislike or are not my favorite kinds of things to eat. BUT ORANGES are a complete other story. The site of an orange honestly makes me feel uncomfortable. The smell of it makes me have this awkward feeling inside. When someones eating or peeling an orange I feel sickened.

Is something wrong with me?

    dude!! ME TOO! My boyfriend and I went on the internet to try to find what its called to be afraid of oranges, but theres no offical name for it. it freaks me out. i cant even sit next to someone directly AFTER they eat one. I cant have someone touch me after they eat one too, there hands are contaminated, and they NEED to wash them. they make me gag. SOME fruit i like, but not much. oranges are the worst... i could really go on and on about it. but I'll stop.
    glad to know I'm not the only crazy one out there.

    Try wearing a fruit basket on your head. It's supposed to protect you from citrus blasts.

    omg me too, my friends tease me about it all the time and chase me around with them and I am utterly disgusted by it especially the smell and the peel. Last week they chased me upstairs and starting throwing the peel at me and I started to cry into a pillow and felt so helpless. I hate having this phobia but I also just can help it.

    Oranges terrify me. Orange juice is the worst. When I was younger, my mom tried getting me to drink Orange juice by putting a bit in my apple or pear juice. I spat it back out and never drank juice again. Literally. The smell of oranges disgust me, looking at an orange, looking at orange juice. I will not pour or serve anyone orange juice ever and if there is orange juice on the table I will move my own drink as far to the opposite edge of the table as possible. It terrifies me.

    I feel so ashamed but unfortunately I too m pam afraid of oranges. I won't dare to be anywhere close to it. I don't know why but the peel makes me extremely uncomfortable. I feel to run away from. I have never touched it. I hate the smell too. My family calls me abnormal and says I am the only crazy one in this world with such a phobia. But I am now relieved to know that more people share the same feeling towards it.

    I have a phobia of oranges as well!!! My friends make fun of me and today, they put orange peels on my arms. I had a panic attack!!! I was so scared. Then I kept feeling the sticky need all day. I was freaking out!!! Then this one kid hid one in his pocket and kept rubbing it on my arm all day. I wanted to punch him, but I couldn't. (Orange) it sucks!!! I know how you feel. *shudder*

    That's a rather unfortunate phobia. Difficult to avoid, too.

    If it really bothers you, you could go talk to a therapist.

    Maybe you were suffocated by an orange and had a traumatic orange death in a previous life
