Well I’m a little concerned about the calling it almost a phobia part. But I certainly don’t think it’s unusual to find it aesthetically or tactilely displeasing! I didn’t even know anything yet about why people were “supposed” to remove it when I first started shaving as a teen; I just found the hair itchy and that it looked like a bunch of lint haha.
PS the mature board is an awesome place if you want to read more about the topic :D.
