Ridiculed for Having a Phobia to Vomit

this always happens to me - i leave the room as i become panicky and everyone tells me i am overdramatic. if people make fun of you just think that they’re not in your position and they don’t feel the same way about your phobia, they don’t understand. and everyone says “but no one likes being sick” but just tell them it is deeper than that.

I get made fun of for it sometimes and I'm scared to tell people because I don't want them you use it against me. One time I was joking around with my dad and he said "all I have to do is start gagging and you'll back off" he said that a couple of times and when I told him it hurt me that he said that, he said he would never actually do it. And no it is NEVER ok to make fun of someone because of their phobia, even if it is funny it's not ok. Especially if it'll bite you in the butt later

nobody has ever been cruel to me about it, but it is usually met with non-understanding and very little empathy. everyone tells me to just do it, i’ll feel better. or to ask me why it scares me so bad, and they don’t have patience with me for very long.

I use to as a kid these days people are more understanding of it
