I'm terrified of knives. Every time i hold one i think i'm gonna go crazy and stab my self. It freaks me out so bad it's scary to cut my own food.
your parents probably brainwashed you....out of love and concern, of coarse.
The more you use them, the more in control of them you'll feel
I can relate! Anytime I see a knife on a flat surface, I have to turn it away from me and subtly back away
Yea I always think like, what if I stabbed myself in the stomach, or what if I jumped into the water, or what if I jumped off this building!!! Idk what it is, I think the devil just wants us to kill ourselves and he tries to get us to do stupid stuff.
It's just a phobia some people have, I'm extremely comfortable around weapons of any kind. But my moms similar to you, id say it's normal.
I often worry about this which is why I try not to use sharp knives. Try using dull knives and see if your fear gets better.
I know what you mean. It's like when you're in a really high place and you feel like jumping off it. I think you're normal. However, if it really trouble you that much, then buy knives that come with a cover. That way whenever you are cutting your vegetables you can immediately cover the blade and put the thought out of your mind.
