   I thought i was the only one but i have actually kicked a few people in the face because of it! I wont let any one walk behind me on the stairs either because im parinoid.. i hyperventilated and then fainted when my friend tied my ankels together so you're not the only one..

    I have this same phobia! I can't wear sandals with the straps on the ankle because the feeling makes me sick.  My friends make fun of me, and if they grab them as a joke, I scream uncontrollably and kick. This fear needs to have a name, It seems like more people then I thought have the same thing.   Horror movies where they do anything to ankles makes me dizzy, and sometimes I pass out.

   I also have this EXACT phobia and for years have been mocked for it, it's so nice to actually find someone with the same phobia as me, you have genuinely made my day, although it's not just looking, the word knocks me sick. cant look at them, I have to wear really thick tights and stuff and if I accidently bang them it makes me feel faint, my friend once pinned me down and grabbed them for fun and ive never shuddered so much ever. You're not alone! 

   
   

   I still fail to understand how it doesnt have an official name when the fear of a duck watching you from somewhere else in the world...

   I have the same thing and a lot of my friends joke about it or try to touch it and i punch them in the back of the head i dont mean to it is just reaction i cant control it. I didnt understand why i had this and then when i was a senior my mom mentioned something to do with ankles in the movie pet cementary and i had no clue what she was talking about and then i remembered and freaked out. it helped me to realize where it came from but every now then and i take a deep breath and try to slow and gentle touch it, it is a work in progress but it has helped.
