What is your most irrational fear?

Being unhappy for the rest of my existence

 

I'm a bit claustrophobic. And I'm scared of almost any insect, with some exceptions like flies and ants. Actually, almost any animal with exotic colors (bright blue, red, yellow and/or green, especially multicolored) gives me the creeps; some exceptions are peacocks, parrots and most birds (but if they get inside my house I'll probably scream like a little bitch).

Being scared of most buterflies makes me think I'm truly a sissy...


Oh, and rats.

 

Bees and wasps. I can't control myself around them! I just freak out.

 

I don't care for anything bigger than a house fly that can fly around. Bees and wasps are just horrible!!!

 

Butterflies also freak me the heck out! I won't go near them, but they like me. They fly towards me and land on my face all the time. I can't handle it..

My biggest irrational fear happens if my period is slightly late. I convince myself that I am pregnant, which would make sense if I had ever actually had sex with a man. I have only ever been with women and the fear still plagues me..

 

I love heights and climbing, and anything to do with being high off the ground, but I freak out when I'm in a car that's driving next to a cliff, I think because there's nothing I can do to keep myself safe if we do go over.

 

Amputations (as in getting one)

 

I'm an odd type of agoraphobic, where I am afraid of being alone in a big empty space, such as the ocean, or a forest.


Also, getting in the ocean off of a boat terrifies me out of my wits. Don't ask why, but the one time my parents forced me to do it, I totally broke down and was a sobbing mess for like 20 minutes.

 

Sounds kind of like me. I love rock climbing and being in high, secured locations, but if I'm walking high up somewhere and there's not a tall fence/guardrail, I start to absolutely freak out!

 

Centepieds... like shrieking at the top of my lungs, hyperventelating, running in the opposite direction, amd occasionally crying out of fear afraid...

I feel gross and crawly thinking about them right now

 

Bees and wasps, one fell in my shirt once after I spayed it's nest with raid, it was a new one so there was only one of them. Stung me like three times and after I got inside, my mom iced it and there were no lumps on my back

But I've always been that way, if there's one on the sidewalk that leads to my porch, I will go off the side of the porch to go get the mail... I hate spiders, ugh, but if it's a tiny one, I'm okay with it like "Oh hi mr. spider, I won't bother you" But if it's a tarantula, one time there was one in out garage right at the door, my mom made me go kill it. I went around front and killed that bastard with nearly half the bottle of Raid, not because of overkill, but that's actually how much it took...

 

I'm afraid of being a failure. :/

 

I have ALOT of irrational fears... like more than any person should be comfortable living with. I'm afraid of walking on top of manholes and sewer grid things. I'm afraid that anytime I hear an insect it's going to fly in my ear and lay eggs. I'm afraid of contracting some kind of terminal illness. I'm afraid of falling asleep in the bath tub and drowning. I'm afraid of finding a dead body. I'm deathly afraid of ALL birds. Oh, and number one would have to be having an allergic reaction and dying because of it... (I'm allergic to so much crap). There are many more but I'm getting freaked out thinking about them.

 

- spiders/bugs
- saying something stupid or making someone else uncomfortable unintentionally
- bad thunderstorms (have my father to blame for this irrational fear)
- holding dogs or animals (I'm afraid I'll hurt them)
- I have a knee that rotates all the time and I'm scared of it happening in a public place where I have to limp away (it's incredibly painful). That's why I don't dance much anymore.
- falling down stairs
- that I'll never amount to anything in life
- that I'll let down everyone's expectations of me
- most political figures

I also have this irrational fear from the backseat, since I'm too young to drive. I'm afraid of driving anywhere when my dad is behind the wheel, especially when he's been drinking (says he's fine, but like hell if I believe that) or when he starts texting while driving. For that I normally throw his phone in the backseat, but it still scares me.

 

I hate wasps, Moths & walking into Spiders Threads :eek:

 

I only have one irrational fear, and that is of planes falling out of the sky and exploding into flames and shrapnel.

No, it is not a fear of flying. It is a fear of crashing.

It was bad before 9-11-01, but after that horrific day when people purposefully crashed planes into buildings and into the ground - I can't even go pick up people from the airport without anxiety that a plane is going to fall out of the sky.

 

I get grossed out easily by small dead animals. If I see a small dead animal on the sidewalk I freak out and actively avoid that part until its gone or something like that.
