Is it normal that I just fear vomiting...I hate doing it myself (as does everyone else) BUT if I hear it or see it or it is about to happen by someone else I will freak out. I will leave the area immediately or run for my life. I will hyperventilate or feel like I'm passing out. I hate the sound...and I can't stand going to bars or parties where I feel there might be irresponsible drinking resulting in ppl throwing up....what do you think? I've heard of emetaphobia but stilll...

    I am absolutely terrified of myself vomiting. I don't care if other people vomit as long as it's not contagious. But if it is, I have a massive freak-out.

    Yeah, it's the worst thing in the world. I would have to get away as fast as I can, plug my ears, hold my breath...

    Everybody hates to see someone throw up and will feel sick if they witness it because its gross. I don't think that anybody lives in fear of seeing someone throw up though. At a party where alcohol is served and someone is throwing up it becomes more funny thing anything.

    A phobia (running out of the room, screaming, fainting etc) is not normal and can interfere with normal life. Your local hypnotist will be able to clear that up relatively quickly. Not that you will enjoy watching someone vomit - who does? You can still hate it. It just won't control your life, keep you from doing the things you want to do or send you into a panic.

    perfectly normal...I can't stand to vomit either, especially if I burst blood vessels in my face and neck...this post reminds me of that Jerry Seinfeld 'vomiting streak' episode...LOL....and yes, somebody else vomiting will likely make you want to vomit...so it is wise to leave the area...or try not to smell it when its a little kid doing it...

    Same way. I think it's just the sickest thing ever. If I hear/see someone vomiting, I will in return throw up. It's like a continuou cycle :/
