Emily's Weird Fear

Hey guys! You know how some people have stupid fears? Well, I'm one of those people. It's like when people say "Wow, Liam Payne is afraid of spoons. That's ridiculous." I think to myself  "Lucky jerk." I guess your wondering what my fear is right now, well it's of belly buttons. I mean there just there and people can touch it and dig around (Excuse me while I throw up and cover my belly button.) They are the grossest thing in the entire world! Liam Payne is a lucky jerk. All he has to do is empty his house of spoons and he's okay. But for me, it's there to always remind me. So anyway, I was wondering if there was a name for this fear. And of course there is. It' called Omphalophobia. How they describe the fear is exactly how I feel about it. If you ask any of my friends, they'll tell you it's true. The word creeps me out too.

Anyway maybe I should explain why I have this fear. Well, this is going to sound so weird, but one time I got a crumb in it. I had to dig it out and it was the grossest thing I ever did. Then of course later on my mom had to poke me there. That freaked me out. Then once my brother found out it bothered me, he would pick at his belly button in front of me and I would gag. Finally we are brought to what made me really over the top scared of belly buttons. There was an article about belly buttons and I didn't read it because the title was like "Bacteria in Your Belly Button" or something like that. Now I'm officially scared of them. I don't think I'm scared of it, but just grossed out.

So if you feel like it, write down your fears in the comments. This kind of helped me a little to write about it.
