There are some really bizarre phobias out there and it seems people can get afraid of almost anything.<\/p>\n
Hannah Matthews certainly falls into this category as she only wears clothing that have zips because she is afraid of buttons.<\/p>\n
The condition is known as koumpounophobia and she panics if she comes in to contact with the fastenings.<\/p>\n
"I know it's irrational and I obviously know a button can't hurt me but there's just something about the shape and the texture that freaks me out," Ms Matthews remarked.<\/p>\n
The problem is so bad that even when she sees other people who have buttons on their garments, it is enough to unsettle her.<\/p>\n
However, Ms Matthews has been attending counselling sessions in an effort to cure her phobia and bring some normality to her life.<\/p>\n
One thing's for sure, going shopping must be an absolute mission for her as there will be buttons all over the show.<\/p>\n
