Is it normal to be scared of bananas?

13% Normal
17 Comments

Since an early age I have found the very concept of bananas utterly terrifying. Even pictures of their curved yellow form make me physically want to vomit and my throat start to close up making it hard to breathe. Recently my flatmates threw a mouldy banana at me and I ran out crying, I was unable to return to the flat for several hours whilst I regained control of my emotions. Sometimes they set my laptop or iPad background as a banana and I am unable to use it until they decide to change it back. Is this normal or am I just going insane??!

    Is it possible that you might have repressed memories of being violated by a banana? Stranger things have happened. I have admit I hate the taste and smell of overripe bananas.

    I know someone who feels the same way about mushrooms. She can't look at pictures either. Try not to worry and don't eat bananas. I hate them, too!

    Maybe you could desensitize yourself to bananas by wearing banana underwear.

    It's normal. Ignore the people & avoid banananas.

    Well I've met lots of people in A&E who 'fell' on bananas. They probably don't like them very much

    That's a pretty extreme reaction :/ Phobias are irrational fears that impact on your life. You might want to look into some sort of desensitisation, cos bananas are hard to avoid. Shopping for fruit must be impossible for you :/

    Aww, I like bananas! Omnomnom :)

    I think phobias are fairly common, and they can be of anything. If you think of phobias as being symbolic... well, it doesn't take a genius to work out what a banana could be a symbol of :P

      Yes, you're right, it doesn't take a genius to work out that bananas symbolise nutritious snacks and all that lovely stuff.:P Although, several people on here seem to have other ideas, which make my name sound very terrible indeed!:O Good to know you're not one of them, haha!;)

        Well of course; the OP clearly has a repressed desire for a healthy yet delicious dietary choice :P I can't think how anyone could deduce anything else, really ;O
