Button Phobia
Button phobia is surprisingly common.
Often, sufferers are surprised to learn that they are far from alone in this surprisingly common, although often unspoken, phobia.
The sufferer quite often believes that they are 'the only one' to suffer from this phobia. Sufferers often report that...
The fear depends on the type or size of button
The fear may only come when the button has 'come loose'
The noise that buttons make may bring a panic attack
The fear may have started in early childhood
The inability to make contact with others wearing buttons
The need to choose clothes for their children that use zips, metal fasteners, elastic or velcro
They can't say, write, or type the word 'buttons'
Male sufferers often find it especially difficult if they work in an office, because they don't like to wear standard office clothing.
They may be afraid of breathing in near a button, in case they inhale the button
