There once was a man who thought it weird
That every human had a button so absurd
It filled quickly with dirt
When pierced, it hurt
Yet he cleaned it when no purpose it served
(c) Sanch @ Living my Imperfect Life
Note: Omphalophobia is the fear of belly buttons

17 April 2015 at 4:46 pmThat was so cute! How do you overcome a fear of belly buttons? What do you fear it will do to you? Open up and swallow you from the inside?

17 April 2015 at 7:58 pmEven I didn’t know why humans had belly buttons until I read about child births 😛 But belly buttons are so sexy, no? Why be scared of them 🙂

17 April 2015 at 8:24 pmI’m amazed that you can find a phobia for each letter of the alphabet. This has got to be the strangest phobia so far.

17 April 2015 at 10:58 pmWhy would this word even exist. While I agree they have no purpose, I have no fear.

18 April 2015 at 4:39 pmToo amazingly funny! Who would have thought this phobia even ever existed?! 😉 Maybe people with this phobia need to put on weight so they don’t see belly buttons, well at least their own! 😉 <3

25 May 2015 at 8:24 amThat would be a crappy fear to have. Everyone (or almost everyone) has bellybuttons. Not to mention your own. You’d fear yourself!
