When I was younger about 8 or 9, I didn't have the fear but one day I was messing with my moms' crystal glasses,and I took one out of the holder and when i tried to push it in the glass wouldn't fit in the holder, and I kept on trying to squeeze it in, but I held the fragile part too hard, because it broke in my hand and the bad thing was i saw how it broke in my hand and easily sliced the skin of my fingers, and went through. I never told my mom of the glass, for fear of getting in trouble, but from that day on I started hating glass objects, but not as much. It was like a beginners phase. Well, about a year or two ago, I was washing the dishes, and I began to wash one of moms' favorite crystal ice cream plate, but was really nervous because I felt it was going to break even thought the glass was very thick. The crystal was very expensive, and not fragile at all. I noticed it had a line through it, and I thought it was going to break easily, so i thought, why not just get over this fear by breaking the glass, since it seems its about to break. but I never expected it to slice through my fingers, like it did. From then on everything that's glass and I'm close to I have to get away from, because I envision somehow the glass cutting me, or if i hold a glass object even for a second I get flashbacks of the glass, or that it somehow slips and hurts me more. It's a horrible fear to have because I can't eat or drink in anything glass or crystal, and any ornaments or accesories made of glass I cant wear, or see or touch, and I cant be in a greenhouse ever, seeing as its made of glass. And even if i'm not the person holding the glass object i somehow envision it breaking and cutting the person, or dropping, and shattering into a million pieces that will harm anyone in its way, and all that causes anxiety and fear to me, making me a bit paranoiac , so yeah it sucks having that fear. Or any sort of fear for that matter.
