Irrational Fears

So, who has some irrational fears? Things you know you have no reason to be afraid of, but just can't seem to shake it?
I do, but I want to see some of yours before I post mine,

You mean phobias? Heights. I have a fear of heights. And when I'm home alone, I have a fear of silence, particularly in darkness.

Spiders totally freak me out. My teacher showed us this "natures nightmares" video that had black widow spiders in it in 6th grade and i freaked out. So ever since then...

Snakes. I was talking to someone the other night (And I almost exclusively have this extreme of a reaction at night) and got to thinking about snakes. Imagining them, slithering over my skin, in my blankets... I started whimpering and screaming. It's kind of pathetic.

I've never encountered a real, dangerous snake. They just freeeeak me out.

If at all possible, I refuse to even look at a picture of a snake.

A weird one for me, though, is I used to have issues going down to the basement after dark. Don't know what I thought would be down there...,

I can still freak myself out about it if I think about it too much.

Yeah, I used to be scared there was a creepy guy hiding in the basement. And he might find out that I suspected.

And get me.

Lightning Bolts

Everytime a storm comes I tend to freak out because I fear getting hit by a lighting strike.

Cowards all of you, you need some backbone

heights(not much) and any creatures that are Poisonous(can bite and sting). Doesn't have to be a poisonous one but if any of their kind is venomous then i'm afraid of all of them.

Leo Wyatt · **Fri Nov 04, 2005 6:52 am**

I am scared of the dark totally. I am scared of hieghts and snakes.

webtaz99 · **Fri Nov 04, 2005 12:22 pm**

Claustrophobia. I can't stand being in a space too small to let me turn around and get out.

I'm also afraid that I will die of exposure, old and homeless and broke, lying in a gutter and wrapped in old newspapers.

But that's perfectly normal, right?

Right?

luit14 · **Fri Nov 04, 2005 12:51 pm**

Yeah, I freak out about bees too.

Cuz I got stung by my eye when I was little.

I was kinda scared the first time my younger brother stayed out at a friend's house and I was sleeping on my own in the bedroom for the first time since I was reeeeally young, but I'm totally over that now,

Brightstar82 · **Fri Nov 04, 2005 3:42 pm**

Mine are hights, elevators and Big spaces like malls and stuff...

Pan13 · **Fri Nov 04, 2005 3:44 pm**

height, darkness, and when i am alone at homev the silence which isnt really silent, because our house is really old

TrekkieMage · **Fri Nov 04, 2005 5:38 pm**

I used to be quite afraid of the bathroom in the basement (it connects to my room, used to have no electricity, ivy, spider webs, hadn't been cleaned in who-knows-how-long, was missing some drywall), but we just finished it off and now it's a real bathroom.

And insects and stuff. I'm fine looking at pictures of them, I actually like images of them. But the real things freak me out. Even though I know they can't hurt me.

Im Scared of Hieghts and Cockroaches... And Thunder From Storms..

I Love Lightning But Not Thunder it scares the hell out of me !:S

I Was in My Room And 5 Cockroaches Crawled in from my window up the wall and on the roof and then bomb dived on my bed, i freaked out as they chased me ...

AND THEN WHEN THEY ANNOY ME I GET ANGRY AND START KILLING THEM, still scared of them when they get close..

lionhead · **Sat Nov 05, 2005 5:20 am**

Its always interesting to see that you can be scared of something because its eighter dangerous(king cobra snake) or filthy(cockroach).

Both can make you scared.

Although i have Creatures i find disgusting, like a maggot, flies or snails i'm not scared of them, i just don't want to touch them.

Is there a difference between not wanting too touch something or being scared? Anybody got the same?

I'm kinda like that. My 'fear' was sand. But now when I think of it I don't 'fear' it at all I just hate the feel of it, if you understand what I'm trying to say.
