I have a phobia of hearing or seeing someone barf. Does anyone have any ways to !
Question: oh my god! thats me! i have the same problem, and hate it. i wont even watch a movie if someone pukes in it! it seems like im the only one like that, cause all of my friends dont really seem to mind if someone pukes. they might even joke about it, while im like UGH! and if someone is sick, i cant go anywhere that they went or touch anything that they touched! and i NEVER stay in the same room with someone with a virus or something, even if its a good friend that i care about! i myself havent puked in.... like 8 years because i wont let myself, even when im very nauseous. i know how u feel!

I think that's normal.Lots of peoples feel that same way!!
There probably isn't any way you can get over it.
I have been a healthcare teaching assistant for over 20 years. I can deal with urine, feces, and blood but I cannot deal with spit and vomit. If I see spit and vomit, I gag. One of my students vomited today and I had to help clean it up. Guess what--I gagged. Repeatedly. I find that if I feel like I'm going to gag, coughing and sniffing rubbing alcohol helps.
Being repulsed by vomit is natural. This is nature's way of keeping you away from someone who's vomiting so you won't catch whatever he/she has.
Don't go into healthcare....
