I've been afraid of bedbugs since I was about five and sleep on two sheets and a comforter to keep them away. And then I watched a horrifying Dateline special that said they were real and I slept on the floor for three days.

I don't have any irrational fears. My fear of spiders is very rational (now). ;)

I'm afraid of bugs, heights, and bats. I wouldn't call those irrational though >|

Well, bedbugs are real but they usually don't appear unless you don't wash your sheets regularly and mantain an unkempt room. But other then that, you should have no problem. I have slight arachnophobia, but it is pretty justified. I would say my strange fear of top hats isn't though. :sweatdrop

I have a stupid fear of spiders. Can't stand them for unknown reasons.. :mad:

I wouldn't call it a fear, but I really do not like little spiders. The big buggers I can stand, I mean, I've had a tarantula on my face! But the medium ones are worst. Money Spider sized and Tarantula sized are fine, but Daddy Long Legs are baaaad news!

Darkness makes me curl up with fear, as well as ghosts n' other paranormal things. (I watched The X-Files too much when I was four years old)

Ah yeah. When I was younger I taught myself not to be scared of the dark by sitting in a dark room for ages. That worked. But then I watched the piano episode of...umm...can't remember the name. It had "You will beware, you're in for scare!" at the end of the tune. After that I was bloody petrified. But now I'm not. I'm a big boy.

I also have this weird irrational phobia of axe-wielding maniacs....dunno why...

Im afraid of elevaters sometimes but now ive grown out of it not completely.

I am terrified of clowns, they scare the hell out of me. I'm scared of hospitals too, which sucks for me as I have to go to hospital on a damn near daily basis.

Bedbugs are small nocturnal insects that live by hematophagy, feeding on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded creatures.

I'm scared of talking to most people. My peers tell me this is an irrational fear.

EDIT: Oh, I am also scared of making eye contact. Thanks to Arucard and Resha for reminding me. :)

Most things related to that (like being in crowds and shaking hands) I am also scared of.

Uhm...cockroaches. I'm scared of them beyond any coherent thought and rationality.

Making eye contact with people is an irrational fear of mine. One that I have yet to get over.

Oh, I have that too. I have some funny ideas in my head about eye contact and so I find it really hard to meet people's eyes when I'm nervous or when I don't know them well or sometimes -- I just can't! >:O It makes me look awfully shifty I bet.

Decessus clowns are evil they want to take over the world and behind that make up on that clown lies a cruel depressed cold blooded murderer! I can see it in the eyes!

I have a insane phobia of birds.

And I dislike it when people ask me to explain why I'm so afraid of them. Hello, it's an irrational fear, I can't rationalize it.

I have a pretty irrational fear of the sea. Not the tide, and I can go in the sea to where it's around waist height, but really far into the sea I often wonder what's out there...

Another one is hot/beautiful women, but I think i'm more intimidated than scared.

So does my brother. But he seriously is. He made a zombie survival kit, even. And it wasn't even a joke.

Good for him. It's important to be prepared for the imminent zombie apocalypse.

hah zombie apocalypse...anyway, irrational fears are cool...like that girl who is afraid of pickles, or the woman who is afraid of olives, it just serves to show how complex the human brain is and i think it's great. i think most people have a mild arachnnphobia, or fear of other creepy crawlies, since all insects and spiders look so alien and are so small that it's hard to see what they are up to, they can sneak into any part of your house even if it's airtight, and some are poisonous...but hey it's up to you to call it irrational

there is a small gap behind my bedpost which my bed cannot cover, so i use stuffed animals to block off pests from running up my arms while i'm asleep...

I think you'll find they feed on the flakes of dead skin that come off your body. They reside in your mattress for the reason that a lot of your skin flakes off whilst you sleep.

Spiders, mess and being alone. Seriously the thought of being alone forever does scare me.

I analyse pretty much every situation I'm in for possible zombie attacks. Fotunately I can hang onto reality just enough to not be in a constant state of perperation, but I'm still pretty paranoid about it =/

I have a few fears, but they are not irrational. I used to be a bit afraid of the dark, but not anymore. Fear of the dark can actually be a bit rational too, I think.
