- Vomiting. I think it's a control issue, because I hate not being able to control when I'm about to throw up, how much of it comes out of my mouth, etc. I'm also afraid of other people seeing me throw up, because I don't want them to panic.
- Watching/hearing other people choke. I've had some bad choking accidents in the past, one of which almost caused me to black out. However, I'm no longer afraid of myself choking, but of seeing or hearing other people choke. I used to feel panicked whenever we went to church, because my parents and brother would either put mints in their mouths or chew gum. The worst is hard candy... I personally think hard candy should be illegal because of the very high choking risk. Nobody in my family is allowed to eat hard candy around me. One time, an older sister of mine broke this rule, so I stole her candy and hid it in a ditch. I'm not sure if she's ever forgiven me for that...
