I have a phobia of static electricity shocks. This has also led to a fear of touching metal because metal seems to have a high percentage of giving static shocks. Metal doorknobs????? - oh goodness - you'll love this one - before touching a metal doorknob, I punch my right fist into my left palm twice and then i'll touch a wooden table or something non-metallic, then i'll rapidly, violently grab the metal doorknob as my whole body and mind tense up. It seems like when I touch metal slowly that's when shocks happen, but if I grab rapidly & violently, then shocks hardly happen. The mild ones are disturbing enough, but the mega shocks that physically HURT - oh goodness! don't even go there. they really do hurt sometimes. it would be interesting to hear from others who share this with me
