Now google cluster phobia and you'll feel much better yet!

I feel the same as lots of you. For the most part I've never mentioned
this phobia to anyone, because it was unreasonable and weird to me.
Then realized I'm not as nuts as I thought. It's a real phobia!
And it seems even stranger to me to have it, because I really don't
have any fear of anything else, even typical fears many people have.

I bookmarked some sites, so whenever I confuse someone trying to
explain, they can read testimonials and it sums it up perfectly!

I'm lucky, it doesn't affect my life. It just gives me the heebie
jeebies. Like the lotus seed pod photos.. a whole page of them staring
at me at once!!!?!? Talk about the creepy crawlies!

However if it does affect your life, I'd see a therapist about it.
Perhaps there is even a medication that can help.
Or mental exercises to lessen it's effects on you at least.
good luck!
