I know my hairdresser I've been going to her for years and she is really nice but I still dread going.. Why?
I don't like going to the doctor or dentist either and I've only ever been to a beauty salon once and I didn't enjoy that either.
Am I weird? I really don't like being fussed, it suffocates me.
Yet I can spend hours stroking/grooming/fussing the dog!

Anaesthetic is what I always craved before ANY appointment ... anywhere
Even today, the word 'appointment' gets me feeling a bit edgy.
Oviously it all stems from childhood.
An anxious mother, having to rely on public transport and the worry of being late for school or ballet/skating classes/whatever.
These problems all add to our childhood angst and, sadly, continue into adult life.
I avoided the Dentist for many years but have no problems with that now ... the hairdresser ? nooooooooo
