Does anyone have any other phobias? Or is it just buttons? As for myself, I'm not worried by anything else, not spiders, snakes, thunderstorms, the dark,...
... snakes, ... I have no other phobias at all. The funny thing for me is that I never in my life identified the phenomenon as a phobia until a couple weeks...
Moderator, I don't believe that the group is showing up properly in the yahoo search function. Perhaps if you eliminated the hyphen from button- phobia in the...

Hi, This is a good one, I had to finish with my boyfriend because he insisted on always wearing shirts (with no ties!!) all the time and expecting me to cuddle...
Yeh I do understand about the fear of cuddling w/ someone if they have a shirt w/ b****ns on them. I get cringy too if I'm dating someone and they insist on...
... Maybe if we all refuse to partner up with button-wearers, we can create a new species where buttons are just universally despised. It would be prezygotic...
About a month ago, someone asked if we had any other phobias besides buttons. That is a definite YES! Balloons scare the bejeezus out of me. Not the balloon...
I would like to ask the ladies here a question: would you find it easier to wear something with buttons up the back and have someone button it up for you or...
If I have to wear something with buttons, having someone else do them up is a big bonus. But buttons down the back? Yech! If I sat down, I would be leaning...

... Buttons down the back would be worse. You would still know they were there, you might even be able to feel them. I do sometimes wear a blouse with small...
HP3 was a wonderful movie indeed!!!! No doubt about that. However I will give a fair warning to those who haven't yet seen it...in the first 5 minutes or so of...
Hi all, just joined this group. Had severe phobia of b's all my life, always thought I was the only one, am now amazed to find there are so many others. Like...
Hi John, I totally agree with you're reckoning that the more b's something has. It is curiously conceived as being smarter. I personally hate every second that...
I don't mind metal ones as much as plastic ones, but they do still bother me. I think that I detest them in a secondary way though, because I associate them...
Seems like the more professional we must appear, the more b's!!! Hmm...perhaps we could do a little research on b's lol..figure out why they're such a part of...

... I don't think buttons smell. They are after all just pieces of plastic. Any odour should truly be of the chemical process used in the production of the...
Yeh, the odor thing is probably purely psychological. This odor is usually "strongest" when I am aware of it (the buttons basically). And yes I do have a VERY...
Wow! Have been reading some of the comments on the website mentioned below. I never realised there were SO many people with b phobia. Haven't read all of them...
I feel really sorry for men with this problem, cos they have to put up with wearing shirts, at least us women can get away with smart clothes with out b's I...
... Hello Nick, I can't beleive I'm actually taking part in this conferencing, but I'm fascinated to find so many people with my exact discust for buttons. ...
I hadn't even thought of that. I shall be having nightmares tonight! Does anyone else have bad dreams involving buttons? I sometimes have them where I find...
There seems to be a national frenzy going on here for pockets with flaps, sometimes with velcro but usually with buttons. Flaps and buttons on the sides of...
