What are your irrational fears?

[teqrevisited]

Spiders.............

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gaaah fucking hell! Damn my curiosity. WHY MUST I CLICK THOSE SPOILERS? It's dark and now every little itch and brush against material is going to send the "HOLYSHITSPIDERONMYLEG" signal.

Fear self-explanatory.

 

[Nyaoku]

Falling down/up stairs. I have a bad habit of tripping when my houseshoes slip loose and well ... pain.

 

[JoesshittyOs]

I hate...necks.

I freak out when people touch them, every time I see a neck injury on a movie or on TV I freak out and I freak out when people touch other people's necks. Weird.

I was with a girl like that once. Afraid of anything to do with necks.

One time I was making out with her and did that little cutesy neck kiss thing, she jumped back and literally gave me a full on slap to the face.

The most stunned I've ever been.

OT: I dunno. I guess walking outside during the night without shoes, which is loosely related to my Arachnophobia. There was a fucking nest of tarantulas living under me house, and on more than one occasion when I'm sneaking out I've nearly stepped on one.

Seriously, the whole excuse my parents always gave me for spiders existing was so that they eat other annoying bugs. But there is no way they eat enough bugs for them to actually have a purpose on earth.

 

[Zenomorph]

Well I've got a crippling fear of heights, Murky water, and umm I'm absolutely mind numbingly blood freezingly terrified of getting a paper cut somewhere important aka the neck or anywhere near the eyes......oh god no *shudder shudder*

 

[Parkway91]

Heights and deep water. But I'm fine in planes and large boats but put me at the top of a ladder or a small tinny boat I will shat my dacks. Also I cannot sleep if either my door, wardrobe or blinds are open, all must be shut, weird feeling of someone watching through my window.

 

[Last Hugh Alive]

Probably at night when I navigate through the dark to go to the bathroom or the kitchen. I'm 20 and I still have that child in me that sometimes gets paranoid something will jump out at me. Its kind of pathetic, but definately fun.

 

[EternalFacepalm]

Cameras.

Seriously, if there's a camera I'm likely hiding from it.

 

[DeltaEdge]

Like many others have said already, I fear, spiders (a bit less so than in the past)i.e., I was playing Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, saw the first skulltula, dropped the wiimote, turned the wii off, left the room, didn't go near the wii, or the room for that matter, for around 3 days. I finally worked up the courage courage to play the game and did so, and of course, Out of fear, I never let a single skulltula do damage to link. I would sometimes spend like 3 minutes in battle with a single one to make sure it didn't touch anything other than my sword or shield. Oh, and it doesn't help that I am currently staying in the basement because of a lack of rooms, which has cobwebs all over the ceiling.
I'm not a fan of walking around in darkness, or being overly exposed in darkness. I like sleeping without light, but I want to be as immersed in my covers as possible if it is completely dark.
Being completely alone in a house or home, other than my personal room or which without the tv on. Sometimes, computer can stave me over, but if I am in the living room and no one is home, I sure as hell don't wanna be there unless the tv is keeping me company, especially if it is dark. I like it to be something loud and continuously making talking noise, whish is why computer doesn't cut it in a big room like that.

That's about all that I can think of for now, and I may edit some more in later.

 

[Shakomaru]

I'm horribly afraid of heights... If I'm anywhere near a ledge I am very afraid of falling off.... I'm also afraid of losing people.. That definitely has to do with three of my best friends moving away and me losing contact with them... Two more are about to move too...

 

[Rule Britannia]

Bees and wasps
bugs in general
Arachnids are cool though

 

[Bomberman4000]

I'm personally afraid of ventriloquist dolls. Also porcelain dolls scare the piss out of me.

Why, yes the movie Child's Play scarred me for life when I was a kid, is that important?

 

[sketch_zeppelin]

I'm afraid needles because i'm terrified i'm going to get an air bubble or the doctor is going to slip while sticking it in me. Which is weird because i always make a point to give blood. I'm also afriad of dying but it has never stopped me from doing stupid things that could eaisly end in just that.

I tend to purposly seek out pretty much anything i'm afraid of...except talking to women of course.

 

[Starik20X6]

I don't have any that immediately come to mind, but I do tend to get irrationally paranoid with zero reason to do so. I look way too far into minor things and arrive at overwhelmingly negative conclusions with no evidence.

 

[Agow95]

I'm nervous in cars, but apart from that nothing, mind you, my brothers girlfriend is scared of clowns, spiders and the munchins from the wizard of Oz.

 

[imperialwar]

Heights, but not for fear of falling down, but rather falling up.
Yeah it's irrational, but being high reminds me of just how minor we are in the universe.
This is pretty much the core of my Panic / stress disorder.

Syringes. Syringes to me are different from needles, needles are what doctors use, syringes are what junkies use.

 

[xWestie]

Bees... so many BEESSSS

but i've never been stung :/

Bees I can deal with.
But these things;

Spoiler

I swear they're plotting against me D8 this one wasp at work was definatly out to get me! -shudders-

also these;

Spoiler

I refuse to go anywhere near the sea after one nearly had me when I was younger ._.;

 

[rob]

I don't hate heights but they make me a bit sweaty, I was up Salisbury cathedrals spire last week and thats about 300ft that was..interesting..i'm not massivly keen on the dying part of life but i think i'm most the way there to accepting it.

 

[[zonking great]]

Smart americans...I still wake up in cold sweat whenever I have that dream...

 

[Tharwen]

Whenever I swim in the sea, I become paralysed by agoraphobia. Looking down into the water and seeing absolutely nothing is the most terrifying thing I can think of. It's just that... there could be anything down there in the inky blueness, and, as a primarily land-based mammal, I have little chance of escaping it.

 

[SlaveNumber23]

I get paranoia that an invisible entity/demon/ghost is watching me, particularly when I am alone. Also I have ALWAYS checked the toilet before I sit on it ever since I saw some news report where some guy got bitten by a snake which came out of his toilet while he was sitting on it, that was like 10 years ago, still check the toilet every time.
