Anthophobia?
Q: Is it weird for girls to have anthophobia[to be afraid of flowers even though they know that it is totally harmless]?Is there anyway to overcome it?
A: No phobia is weird. The whole point of phobias is that they are irrational. If you have a phobia about an object, start by looking at pictures of the object. When you are comfortable with that, move on to models of the object. Then move on to confronting just one of the object, and gradually confront more of them until you can gently touch it. It helps to have someone with you who is sympathetic to your fear while doing this.At any stage you feel uncomfortable, back off the treatment until the next day.
why does queen elizabeth 1st had an anthophobia (fear of roses)?
Q: i have read that queen elizabeth was so much afraid of roses. i cant get the right answers..although i know that it is one of her mother’s (anne boleyn) emblems. but i want to know the main reason.
A: Anthophobia is an irrational fear of flowers, not just roses.Like all phobias, it may or may not have an obvious ‘trigger’ in early life.Having never heard of this before, I note that this ‘fact’ is quoted on many somewhat dubious websites. I have been unable to verify it using any site which I consider to be historically and academically reliable.No-one is ever likely to know the real reason, even if this ‘fact’ is actually a ‘fact’, although no doubt there are many theories (none of which can ever be proven).
Is anyone else afraid of flowers? (anthophobia)?
Q: It seems that I’m the only one in the world afraid of flowers! I just want to talk to someone or at least know of someone with the same deathly fear of flowers as me. Even the Yahoo spell checker thought the word “anthophobia” was a misspell for acrophobia! I just feel so alone in this. :/
A: Wow! I can’t believe I actually found someone who is afraid of flowers, too. When I was younger.. I would not lay my hands on the grass. I was deathly afraid. As I got older I noticed that I’d always avoid being around flowers. It became a really bad phobia. I would not eat in a restraunt if there were flowers on the table. I would not touch a flower. I’m still sort of like that until this day. I’ve gotten over it a little… but I still hate it. I even hate when my father buys my mom roses on their anniversary — I avoid being around them the whole week their in the house. It’s something I cannot explain.. if you’d like to talk… you can e-mail me. [email protected]! I wouldn’t mind to chat with someone with this same problem. :] Don’t stress it… everyone is afraid of something utterly ridiculous!
