Do you have any irrational fears?

[Fizzzzle]

Like, a fear of spiders is a rational fear. A fear of heights is a rational fear.

 

This came up because I recently did a job where I was cleaning stained glass windows on a 3 story building and I was the only one who isn't afraid of heights, so I was the one who went up the ladders.

 

Then I mentioned I'm afraid of gum. Or I guess "afraid" isn't the word, but basically I have dreams every night where my jaws get stuck with chewing gum and I get kind of uneasy when I see people chewing gum. And I definitely never want it anywhere near my mouth. I actually have a physical response when I see someone chewing gum. I get all clammy and my jaw tenses up.

 

Do you have anything that is an irrational fear or makes you anxious for a stupid reason?

[Biggie]

Yes. Your stupid topics.

Falling up the stairs to take up my trash and shattering my teeth of the edge of a step. 

[Mr.Vic20]

I’m not a fan of large serpents. I guess that’s a rational fear though?

You keep your trash upstairs?

[best3444]

I'm scared of spiders, centipedes, public speaking, and heights. 

[Biggie]

I'm scared of seeing all the trash @Baconhas stored upstairs

Up the stairs isn't the same as upstairs, idiot.

All rational.

 

I suppose claustrophobia is an irrational fear. Like, the odds of a tunnel collapsing on you is really low.

 

I suppose I'm not afraid of a lot of the things I should be, but I think that has to do with the fact that I'm not afraid to do die.

 

I'm just afraid of gum.

I have a fear of spiders and heights and I'm mildly claustrophobic, though not irrationally so. I don't fear tunnels collapsing on me. I just don't like to be confined to where I can't really move.

 

I definitely have a degree of trypophobia. Clustered holes make me really uncomfortable. I guess that's irrational.

I don’t like any creepy crawlies (bugs/arachnids) and I hate Moths.

I didn't really pay attention to the thread title. I forgot to add I'm severely claustrophobic so there is my irrational fear. 

[stepee]

Weird it won’t let me post after that quote on mobile. Anyway yeah it’s weird because logically I can tell myself there’s nothing wrong with it but my goodness clustered holes make my skin jump off my bones.

Same, dude. Well for me, if it is a flying bug, I hate it and I want it to die. 

[DarkStar189]

I think i have an irrational fear of getting injured or seeing someone get injured.  I remember being younger and my dad saying how one day he stepped up on to a high porch and tore the meniscus in his knee.  I remember thinking to myself "it can be that easy!??".  Other times if I see people lifting really heavy weights I'm always thinking the worst that might happen if a weight slips or something.

 

It doesn't stop me from doing anything. It's more of a mental struggle.

I'm the idiot? You are the one who keeps his garbage upstairs.

So now we have an irrational fear! Thank you for sharing, it takes courage.

[stepee]

I’ve got a number of irrational fears that i’d like to share with you.

Is it when Best starts a new game and loves it and praises it as one of the best games ever made and then turns around 48 hours later saying it’s dog shit and he is deleting it?

My friends make fun of me for not sharing drinks or food with anyone other than a girlfriend, if I have one at that moment. I dunno, the idea of swapping spit with anyone else grosses me out.

[Keyser_Soze]

Something in line with the OP but maybe not as dumb and I believe I've told this story before.

 

I don't really like cool ranch Doritos. Not because of the taste but because when I was a kid I had a loose tooth and a cool ranch dorito got caught in the loose tooth and it was painful. But I'll eat the nacho cheese ones with no issues.

Balloons being squeezed. It made my daughters birthday recently pretty horrific as there were about 15 toddlers all playing with them. I’m also scared about the day when she realises she has a power over me. 

[TUFKAK]

I think most of my life was motivated by a fear I know see as irrational, shame in regards to my appearance.

it caused me to do many things that I will pay for one day.

While I respect snakes role in nature, I genuinely do not enjoy being around them. The only thing worse than snakes themselves are people that are REALLY into snakes, as they tend to be "Extreme" or "Edge lord" types and that stops being fun when you pass the age of 16. This is not always true of course, but is a general truism I've learned through my many travels. Mind you, this applies to the continental US, as in other cultures, they live much closer to serpents and therefore have a different cultural response to them.

I'd fuck a lamia 

I'd fuck an xcom viper

Many people are better than me at many things, what's new?

Things I'm better at than Vic:

1. Expressing desire to fuck fictional snake women
