I don't have the fear of sticky things, but I can totally relate to things like bondage, handcuffs, etc. So yes, there are more than just you that have this problem. I plan on never getting arrested tho hehe.  And, I'm not that kinky lol.  But yeah, I feel you, but there are things you can do about it, do you have a T? I have been working through my plethora of irrational fears, and my T(s) have always had good ways of helping me.GL and God Bless! |

hi and welcome to pc!
 this fear that you have, can you asssociate it with something that happened to you in the past? usually when we have a fear of something it's brought on by a past experience that wasn't pleasant. like it causes a phobia. for me, many of those fears were unfounded in the present...i call them "old tapes." if you can find out what gave you this fear then you can unravel the false belief and restore it to a realistic belief. you didnt' mention if you have a therapist. i used my t to help me with these false beliefs so i could be freed from those fears that weren't really real in the here and now. i really benefitted from discussing it with my t to get a real perspective. he gave me coping skills to use when i felt panicky about things like this. keep us posted, k? you don't have to remain in "bondage" about these false beliefs.

Yep wet paper and paper stickers are a no go zone, makes me gag, I think its a tactile thing, plastic stickers are all right, go figure.
