I have a fear of grapes, I don't know why (and does anyone else have something similar?)
As the title says: I have a fear of grapes, like, the fruit. It's been with me since I can remember and honestly it hasn't effected my life massively as it is quite easy to avoid them and my family were quite understanding about it.
I genuinely can't bare to look at them, (and I have to be a good few feet away from them to feel safe enough) let alone touch them and I get disgusted when someone touches/eats them normally and I won't be able to touch that person if I know they've been in contact with even a single grape. Same goes for if any thing (such as cutlery) is in contact with them. I will start freaking out and cry if someone puts even a single grape on me and as a kid it was very hard for me to tell and explain to friends as they would find it funny and chase me with grapes. (lowkey traumatic experience)
I generally don't really like fruit that much, and I also can't eat berries in general but they're more of a dislike rather than a fear. My friends have asked if it could be a type of trypophobia but I'm fine with looking at things like honeycomb... So I don't think its that.
I've never met or heard of a fear for a specific fruit, and or anyone with the same sort of fear so I was wondering if anybody would know what it is? Does it have a name? And also if anyone knows/has a similar sort of phobia.
