Re: [unusualphobias] Is mine unusual?

I carry around antibacterial spray after I touch doorknobs,cash and shake people's ahnds, but I think that is just a GOOD IDEA.
 
Your sister washing cash, sounds a bit overboard, and a waste of time.
 
As for your co-worker, she needs a Psychiatrist or someone to take her out a little each day (longer each time) until she gets used to, and comfortable being outside and near people. It CAN be overcome.
 
You just need to practice core exercises or Pilates, so you can learn to be balanced. You just have undeveloped muscles that aren't stabilizing you.

Subject: [unusualphobias] Is mine unusual?

My sister has mysophobia (fear of being contaminated with germs or
dirt). She washes her cash. Also, I have a co-worker with agoraphobia.
She is uncomfortable venturing away from home, or other base (place
where she feels safe). Both of them are much more comfortable with
conveniences like online shopping such as mymaximall.com 
where they can shop from home.

Personally, I have no fear of height as long as the footing is steady,
but if I try to stand on a board that moves even a little, I can't
seem to keep my balance. Anyone know what that's called?

I dunno if this is just me, but you seemed WAY too sensitive about that, Valentina. Dull it down a bit *extreme sarcastic tone*. The definition of a phobia is...
