Is anyone else afraid of balloons when they pop?

Question:

I just can't stand it. People think I'm joking when I say to not pop balloons at a party but then they pull out something sharp or hot and hold it close to a balloon and I get really scared! It's so embarrassing; I started crying once I was so scared that they were going to pop it! I just wanted to know if anyone else had this fear! Thanks! :)

Answers:
Wow, you're amazing. I get the same thing.I was starting to think I was a freak or something!! I used to cry whenever my brothers bought them.whenever we have one in the house, I usually try to sneak it someplace where it can just deflate.they really just horrify me too. I feel your pain!

I'm horrible about a poping chamagne bottle! If I buy a bottle, I cannot bring myself to openning it without having a minor nervous breakdown! :-)

I'm 52 and still afraid of ballons when they pop. I hate to have to blow them up for fear of them popping. Its natural I guess. Some people don't like loud noises. My neice does. What it is; sounds like a baloon popping (actually it is tearing open), of which quickly reach high decibles, your mind amplifies a lot higher than most people hear. So the sound is a lot more scarry. Causes real fear. Everyone has different fears. Mine is heights. Put me up something high, like a lighthouse, when I walk to the door at the top, to walk around the balcony, I cannot push myself out the door. I am literallly frozen with fear.

And I am a bodybuilder, 6'2", 274 pounds.

I have never been that afraid,but I do have somethin that makes me like that to, frogs. :(
I hate it, i think that the pop is not as bad as anticipating it.. Once it does it,your okay, but,waiting for it kills ya. I hate biscuits to. Don't you hate not knowing when that can is going to pop!
