Irrational fears

[Still Me]

lightning. I don’t like storms. I’m scared of being stuck or something 

[Insipid]

Trypophobia

[PhilosipherStoned]

I don't know I do have some crippling social anxieties from time to time, but I'm not really especially afraid of anything that I can think...Actually I got one. Bodies of water, swimming, and shit like that I guess. Even just dying by drowning is a harrowing thought. I don't often frequent swimming pools and I've been virtually land locked all my life so that's easy to forget. It's something I do think I can get over to some degree if I stayed in a coastal area long enough, and maybe actually got an some boats/ships...but.

I bet I'd have a proper freak out/ sea sickness, and all kinds of paranoia if I ever sailed to where you can't see land or something like that..

I’m absolutely terrified of drowning, to the point that even just feeling water pour down my face freaks me out.

My other half’s sister is kinda the same. She has to be able to touch bottom. Be it pool or ocean. We went to Panama City last year and it took us forever to get her in the water

They can be if I don’t wash my face fast enough.

jumpers are probably the one I’m not scared of. The acknowledge your presence and interact with you and the world around it on such a scale it makes me think they are smart

I like rodents and snakes. I got screamed at by my SO cause I was chasing a field mouse then got distracted and started playing with a water moccasin….

my child saw about five seconds of Bill Murray in the fake zombie makeup in Zombieland a month ago, and she's been real weird about going into any room by herself ever since

Elevators and insects 

[Chappi]

I don’t like being in cars and get major anxiety when I have to be on a highway

and now I have to stand guard half the time she takes a dump

Cramped spaces. I'm fat, so this isn't really irrational,  but I'm deathly afraid of getting stuck. (Like the time I had to climb into the front seat of my Camry from the back seat because the front doors had frozen shut - I swear sheer panic propelled me into the driver's seat.)

Also, not a fear, but everybody who's ever worked in health care has one thing they cannot deal with, and mine is eyeballs.

I’m fine with escalators. I just really hate elevators and think I’ll get stuck in one forever idk 🫠

[UwPp]

If I can't control the car, I dont feel safe. 

I'm petrified to die in a car. 

 

Drowning. 

Clowns. 

Bugs in general, because once a bug flew in ny ear and it was huge. 

 

[discolé monade]

spiders and clowns...not terribly scared of clowns, just how offputting they look. 

spiders, i could't go near any spider. i'd freeze. 

but thanks to the joro ....and my new found love for interprertive dance, i'm ok with MOST spiders. (the ones with fangs that are TOO small to pearce? pierce? skin)

Sudden loud booms such as thunder, fireworks balloons popping ect. It's main reason why I despise the 4th of July.

Mine is anal prolapse

I also have to drive on the inner lane if im going over a bridge. I'm petrified that I'm going to some how end up over the edge and drown in the car.

Whenever I see a kid playing around with a balloon I get really tense knowing that it can pop any moment. or for that matter someone blowing one up.  The sound of thunder terrifies me. Whenever I see lightning I immediately cover my ears because I know what's coming next. And fireworks I make it a point to never be outdoors when it's around the fourth. If I have to go outside I put bluetooth with the loudest music I can find plus I put on my big headphones with it, it's just hell, shit I can't even use a gun because of the pop. I think it's called Phonophobia or something like that.

Oh yeah that reminds me. I don’t like tunnels. It makes me feel like I’m being buried alive

See, that doesn't bother me.  Anal, uterine, bladder - anything hanging out doesn't get to me on the same visceral (so to speak) level as eyeballs. I'd rather deal with a prolapse than use a Morgan lens any day.
