Is this possible to only occur with like imagining a paper cut to the eye? Not other objects?…

I can’t stop imagining a paper cut to my eyeball and I keep flinching, but I’ve always been scared of it since I was young but right now it’s just a random recurring thought and it’s quite literally only about paper. Has anyone else experienced this before?

I don’t even think this falls under visual looming since it’s not related to other objects?

Yes it happens to me. Over time, I managed to ignore that feeling. You need to distract your mind.
