Irrational Fears

So, the other day, I was having lunch at school. Y'know, perfectly normal, just chilling out and eating.

Then I took a banana out of my bag.

For some reason, this absolutely terrified one of my friends and she actually had to leave the table.

Do you have any irrational fears? The only things I'm really scared of are clowns and ventriloquist dummies - and I suppose that is a bit irrational.

Hmm.....I don't think so, but I'm really not sure. Most of my fears are pretty rational, I think. Maybe driving is the closest thing I have. So driving.


:D

No. I'm pretty normal... I think... WHY ARE YOU WATCHING ME?! :(

Darkness *shudders* and going on busses.

Republicans.

Going on buses?

Wow, the same as me. I'm scared of those two things, and thinking about eyeballs out of heads.

Eyeballs out of heads? Ewwww.

I'm really claustrophobic, as wel...

Irrational might not be the best word to use when describing a fear... I can't think of many things that it's rational to be afraid of. You can know something is not good, but why fear it? If that's the case, all fears are irrational.

I fear love at the same time as craving it. I fear love because I know that it makes me paranoid - in other words, it makes me afraid of things that I shouldn't be. More irrational fears? It's kind of silly, really. I know the only problem I have when being in love is my paranoia, so if I stopped being paranoid, I'd have nothing to be paranoid about. But because I AM a paranoid person, I have something to be paranoid about. :p I hope that makes sense. Oh well.

For some reason, I'm scared to death of feet. My brother and my sisters will put their bare feet in front of my face in the morning and I wake up and scream and run everywhere. And they put them on the table when I'm eating too...
I don't know why I just cannot stand FEET.

I don't know if you would call this irrational or not, but I am terrified of high heights. (Yet, I still go skydiving every summer).

I don't like walking on floor that used to have a heavy piece of furniture that was recently moved off of it.

Its like, the floor hasn't been used in so long that it might've broken through, despite the fact that the area around it was in fact, supporting a heavy object.

People from the country and Old People

I dunno, but some smells have this quality that makes me fearfull, like hospitals

I have an irrational fear of michael jackson. this is stupid because i will never meet the man and have absoloutly no reason to fear him the way i do. :hat:

I'm scared of bees, spiders, and I'm also claustrophopic (I don't know if that is spelled right?)

I'm only claustrophobic while driving cars in heavy rain.

wait. she's afraid of a banana? sorry for saying this but LOL

anyway. I'm afraid of dogs for the most part. except those that are incredibly friendly. aggression = bad

and I'm afraid of the internet. this is irrational because I'm using it right now. but I'm scared [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]less doing it.






HA JUST KIDDING. :)

You're scared of clowns, Spifflie?? Just like Johnny Depp! xDDD :laugh: :(

I'm terrified of needles. I had to get an IV last week, and I went into shock from the needle (just saline at that point too), I was convulsing, hyperventilating, the whole nine yards.

Bee's, Wasps, Hornets, Mail from Bleys, and needles. Most people share some/all of these fears.

lets see,,,, I'm afraid of people getting to know me, people with sharp things near me, people being behind me. (I think I have trust issues. lol) People yelling and swearing angerly. (my parents fault.*whispers* it the emotional abuse, I think.) Anything that can hurt me; bees, ect., food with unknown ingredients, and for some reason I'm afraid to touch turtles.

i know a kid with a morbid fear of cheese and bananas

i am not joking, this coincidence is startling even to me

i don't like bugs, especially cockroaches. sometimes i run, but i've killed some too. i guess i hate them as much. my conscience tells me that if i don't kill it, i'll be seeing more of them 'cuz it'll probably lay eggs or get bigger.

>>> I have fear of Failure, Police, being robbed, Car driving and deformed people.
Geez, Im a coward.

None of my fears are irrational.

I used to have an irrational fear of bubbles when I was a kid. My sister always insisted on bubble baths and my mom always gave me a bubble bath as well. I remember sitting quietly in the tub, gazing at those bubbles that hissed popped gently, beating them away when they came to near me, waiting for my mom to come and rinse me off, feeling so outnumbered against all that white foam. :cry:

It's gone now but I've always been repulsed by clowns.

Yes, we did. Because SOMEBODY left, Faris had to be a bridesmaid/flower girl/maid of honour/priest/vicar/random schizo.

:(

I have the weirdest fears in the world. My first and WEIRDEST is the sunrise. I like the sun and I like the stars, but when the sun peeks up it creates this eerie feeling, and I don't know how to describe it, it's just morbid. My other fear is going to a fast food place and ordering through drive thru. I just can't talk to someone that I don't know that isn't there in front of me. Which is why I never pick up ringing phones in my house because you'll never know who's there.

The sunrise bit doesn't sound like a fear. It sounds like a weird feeling.

Spiffing Cheese's story, if we're on the subject of things sounding, sounds like a euphemism.

I've mentioned it before, but I have a fear of underwater machinery. I can't go near any grids or wave machines at the swimming baths without becoming extremely uncomfortable, upset and panicky.

Curse my feeble fears.

I don't have any irrational fears as such. Some things freak me out but nothing drastic..
I have a fear of wasps, though. They TERRIFY ME. :'(

My sister fear cotton. Don't know why but always when I give it to her, she start screaming... :Oo:

I don't like big groups of people.. I fell threatened. :greenie:
