Re: fear of knuckle cracking
I don't have a true phobia about this but my daughter does crack her nuckles a lot and I do hate the noise every single time. To me it carries the implication of pain and injury even though it does not trouble her at all. I think its that connection which is making it into a
problem for you all. Your mind is either considering how terrible it would be if you did it, or just empathising with the pain it assumes they are suffering.
I'm not too sure how you'd get used to it as in many phobia cures. Some of you seem to have frequent exposure and still feel bad. Don't think you're mad maybe recognise that yo have too much empathy in this case.
