Do You Have Any Irrational Fears?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have a fear of standing on sewer and storm darins. I thought it was just in my child hood but as i realized this weekend when my car was stranded in the highway right on a drain that im still terrified. I was walking on it like if it was hot coals.

Also have a thing about pumping gas. Either the total amount or gallon has to be a certain way. For example the total cant be 15.49 and gallons 3.7 it has to be either 16 or 15 bucks even or 3 or 4 gallons. Does that make sense? And this happens with anything that involves two amounts. Like a treadmill time vs distance also bugs me. One of the amounts has to be ok with me. But thats an ocd not a fear.

Also have a fear of heights.

Also have a phobia about lizards and geckos. BUT i dont mind monitors, and beardies and other big lizards i just have a intense fear of anoles and house geckos.

Well I have quite a few irrational fears...

First one being of gators and crocs (yes sw crocs do exist where I live). I can swim all day long in the ocean. Sharks do not bother me one bit. I ve swam in waters infested with them... whatever. Get me near a lake or mucky brakish water on a river or something.... forget it. I won't touch that water. I ll get on a boat/kayak/canoe that's on the water but the second any part of my body touches the water it;s an instant freak out. I am absolutely terrified of mucky water where I can't see anything and expect a giant gator or croc to come up and bite me in half. (crystal clear spring waters are the only exception).

The second one is spiders and roaches... I can't stand them. I am pretty sure I use wayyyy to much spray when trying to kill such things. Its usually see spider/roach, scream, call someone in to get rid of it while I cower in the corner.

I also have an irrational fear of falling to death. Its being on a coaster and it falls off the tracks, in a plane and it falls out of the sky, on an elevator and it brakes and falls down, I fall between the cracks of stairs....

Actually I plain and simply have an irrational fear of elevators. I am terrified of being trapped on one (I was once for 15min, it was awful) . I scared they will brake, they will stop, someone creepy will get on. I ll walk flights upon flights of stairs over an elevator. Its really bad I have to argue with people and usually make someone walk up the stairs with me b/c I refuse to use an elevator.

Same.


I hate bugs of all kinds. Spiders. Bees. Cockroach made me faint once. I once walked around a neighborhood in May, saw a wild female tarrantula. By the time I noticed it in was about a foot from my feet. I screamed so hard I lost my voice for 2 weeks. I wouldn't leave the house for a month, and I was constantly checking my whole body for spiders (every 10-15minutes) for 2 years. Except when I was asleep. Oh and I once got bit by a black widow. I got lucky though, it didn't pass the skin. I have unusually thick skin apparently. At the time I didn't even know it was a black widow, I didn't tell anyone either. I was 5 years old. I found out it was when I was digging in the yard with my mom and she found a spider. She quickly squashed it and said it was a black widow, showing me the red spot. It was the same spider, I recognized it.
 
Extension ladderes bother the snot out of me. I have no problems going well over 100' up in a boom lift or going out on a beam at that height but put me on an extension ladder over 20' and I'm sweating like Paris Hilton in church. I also have issues with partner saws.

Things I actively fear are never what turns out to be the worst.
It's those seemingly irrelevant things that get me.

being beheaded... slowly... and being aware of it, not just like a Count Dooku clean slice but like a slow progressive cut that you can feel until it goes all the way through your spine.... gives me the chills just thinking about it.
