Chitchat Any Weird Fears?

[CursedDawn]

not sure if it's weird enough but I'm afraid of larger non wooden boats (like yachts and stuff) because I don't trust them, there's no reason something that weighs thousands of pounds or hundreds/thousands of tons should be able to float and I want nothing to do with them.

 

[kibou]

I'm trying to think of more fears that are strange


OH


I got one that's really strange now that I think about it


I'm scared of heaven. Like, I was raised in a Christian family but trying to think about the concept of eternity and only being able to feel happiness and nothing else, my 7 yr old mind couldn't handle it. I prayed to God that he'd reincarnate me into the universe of my favorite book series or something instead xD

 

[Woebegone]

I have this very weird fear of eating fish. I believe the reason behind it is that, I absolutely dislike the possibility of choking and worse, experiencing death via fishbones.

 

[Archie]

Tickling oh my god no

 

[Vash]

I remember a friend of mine having a fear of garden gnomes. C.C

 

[Gilzar]

Drugs. Not the pill sorts, things like weed, alcohol, those sorts of things.


I wake up in cold sweats at night from dreams where I drank alcohol.

 

[Riley]

Bunnies. Ok, so it's not a full blown fear/phobia, but there's something about the teeth that just make me nervous. Monty Python didn't help.

 

[DikkeVetteVlinder]

Not exactly weird, but out of proportion; whenever a wasp comes near me I will panic. Best case scenario; I will freeze. Worst; I shriek loudly and start running, all the while pulling a horrified face.

 

[Carmine Magnolia]

It's a long story really, but I had to drop out of the Danish gymnasium due to illness, and my fear is now graduates from that education. Like I instantly get a panic attack if I see one of those graduation hats, even though I've got one myself in my closet back in Denmark. It might be in addition to my agoraphobia, but who knows. It's just weird; I have nightmares about it and all.

 

[Reptillicious]

I don't know if this is really "weird" since a lot of people have this fear, but I hate tiny house spiders. At the same time though... I don't mind large spiders, like tarantulas. I used to own a tarantula and it never bothered me to hold it. But every time I see a tiny house spider? I just nope right out of whatever room I'm in regardless of what I was going to do.


I'm also 100% terrified of bikes. I fell off my bike when I was like 5 and badly bruised myself, and ever since I've just never been able to ride any sort of two wheeled vehicle ever again.

 

[Cross]

The fear that the universe will spontaneously unravel.


Or that gravity will stop working. The second one goes along with a fear of heights.

 

[Space Cowboy Ein]

Oh man, a fear of bunches of holes together, like what you'd see in a beehive, but worse. It gives me irrational fear. It's called trypophobia. If you think you have it, don't google it for your own well being.


I've also got a fear of spiders, but I've been turning that fear into fuel to 'take care of them'. But most times I'll just become much more shrill and my deep voice goes out the window.

 

[Lady Odyssey]

Okay. So, not sure if this qualifies, but whatever.


Ever since I was a child, I've been afraid of being shocked.


Every time I went down a playground slide, I'd get shocked, right?


Well, it wasn't that big of a deal then, but eventually I just generated a irrational fear of being shocked.


Now I'm scared of shopping carts (bad Wal-Mart experience, ha) shocking me, as well as pretty much anything else that can.


I've never been afraid of heights. I had no problem going on a ski lift, going on top of buildings, going on an airplane and etc.


But I have this huge fear of the sensation of falling. The very thought just makes my stomach churn. It's not neccessarily the heights


themselves, but the idea of falling. Like, put me on a small little diving board and I'll jump because it has a short time of falling.


But put me on the high diving board... hell no. I went on the high diving board twice, and screamed both times.


So yeah, those are my two weird fears. Oh, and did I mention I have frequent nightmares revolved around


my second fear, of falling? I occasionally (like maybe two or three times a month) dream that I'm on top of a building, and


I have to jump. I wake up just before I hit the ground/net. Weird, I know.

[Meredith]

Weird fears, hmm.


Well, I'm afraid of thunder. Confinement, too - claustophobia. Not really weird,though.


I think my biggest fear is weird, though.


My biggest fear would be living eternally.


It's just beause, I guess, that everything would change, people would fall away - wither and die - and I would remain.


That makes me sound quite... not cliché, really, but... dark. xD


I'm not scared of death, so I guess that's what makes it strange.

 

[Life.]

There are many to say but one I want to share is fear of...not exactly heights...and not really falling but this unexplainable feeling that whenever I peer over the railing from a level that my body would suddenly do something without my brain saying so and throwing myself off the railing and then falling. Everytime I'm at the mall and peer over the glass railings I feel a slight crawling of that urge and then my fear arises and I pull myself back. I don't know if my body wants to follow the rules of gravity or what not.


Then another is riding an airplane. I have the fear of crashing and drowning or either being horribly injured in a land of debris.

 

[kibou]

This is really relevant, because I'm flying all by myself for the first time tomorrow morning.


FUN!


Although I don't like planes or heights much, planes themselves are pretty tolerable. That's not what I'm concerned about.


I don't like the airports themselves.


I'm not worried anything will happen, because of their great security. But their great security also worries me.


I failed to pay much attention all the times I have gone with my family, so I have no idea what to do in an airport to get to my plane. I'm bad at memorizing routes/directions, so I've never liked being left alone at an airport or being told like "go get food here, we'll meet up here." I've gotten kinda lost at airports before, and I don't like it. I'm worried that I'll go somewhere I'm not supposed to, or make a mistake somehow, or I'll just look nervous and it'll get me in trouble. What if I forget to bring my bags with me everywhere I go? What if I accidentally walk somewhere restricted? What if I forget to take my shoes off in security and my nervousness makes me look suspicious? And, if I don't know where to go and get lost, I could miss my flight. That would be really bad, especially if it was in the airport I'm changing planes at. I know it's ridiculous, I'll just continually ask staff "hey I'm so lost where do I go what am I supposed to do please help me" and it'll be hard to forget to do those things with my worrying (I hope) and I'll probably make it on time, but ( @ A ,@ ) aaaaaa

Trust me I understand how you feel. I first flew by myself when I was fifteen just barely passing the age of not needing an escort. In all honesty it's not that nerve-wrecking. If you pay attention and read your ticket well then you should not have a problem navigating and there are always signs around so no worries! And the airport employees are always willing to help! Just this summer I flew by myself once again but not as nervous because of my past flight two years ago. And coming from a tight-knit family where I basically go where my mom or dad goes made it all the scarier. But then after I got on the plane it was all good.

 

[Teddy Squirts]

I have a fear of birds, but it's mostly with owls. I don't know why, but the large eyes and head movements scare me. Like if I've seen a picture of one, I would jump. I have no idea when this started, probably early high school because I had to pick a dead one in my grandmother's garden and it just didn't end well for me.

 

[Ashman74]

I'm terrified of feet being near me (Save for my own.) If they're in shoes or socks it doesn't really matter, but bare foot...*Shivers*

 

[DikkeVetteVlinder]

I know I mentioned wasps already, but UGH they fucking freak me right out. And there appears to be a nest near my house. One tried to get near my face after I ate something. IT TRIED. TO GET. ON MY FACE.


I got up, went inside and now I am here trying to relax. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

 

[theplasticdemon]

Ohmygosh I'm the master of weird fears xD


I'm scared of goats and squirrels....yup

 

[DescriptedEnd]

I am terrified of lawnmowers, saws, and weed-whackers. Like, terrified to the point that I'll scream if they're turned on to close to me (well, I mean, lawnmowers are the exception - as long as my foot isn't under one it's okay). My father was once about to go out with the weed-whacker and trim by the fence, I came up the stairs, asked him ,"Where ya goin'?" He showed me the weed-whacker, I backed up a bit.


Then, he turned the fucker on for a split second.


I screamed, jumped back, stared at him like he'd shot me. I then proceeded to slam the door in his face as he laughed. Because he did it a second time.


Funny thing is, I have no rational reason to be scared of these things. I just freaking am, and it's annoying to everybody around.

The first time I flew by myself, I somehow didn't realize that boarding time was MUCH earlier than departure time. I went through security, thought I had some time to kill, and got some food before I went to my gate. By the time I got to the gate, they'd already boarded... only I didn't realize it. So I sat around waiting while my plane left without me. xD


It was around 6 PM, and that was the last flight of the evening to my destination. The next flight, it turned out, was at 6 AM. So I went with that. Everyone was very kind and helpful, and there was no additional charge for the 6 AM ticket, even though it was really my fault that I'd missed my original flight.


I stayed at the airport overnight -- I didn't want to have to pay for a hotel room, and I was afraid that if I slept, I'd oversleep and miss my flight again. It was a very long night, and I was very tired by the time I finally got on my plane... but in the end, it was fine. Which is why I wanted to tell the story, really. Because even if you make a mistake, or something else goes wrong, it will almost certainly be fine.

 

[Kalessin]

I have a strange fear of talking to certain people, mostly officials, professors and the like. They're usually nice, especially the latter are probably the coolest people on the planet or something like that but I can't help but feel completely helpless when faced them. And then I come across as a idiot which makes me be even more afraid of the next time I need to talk to them because I just KNOW they must hate that stuttering idiot (even when they don't and I actually know that too. Fuck logics.).

Oh my goodness, same here. Authority figures just freak me the hell out and I do my best to avoid them (aka try to figure it out yourself, this person is a last resort). Granted, it's mostly with teachers (and admittedly the site staff, a lot of whom which I am friends with xD ), and other school staff, but it takes a very long time for me to warm up to people who are higher ups. So, yay for me getting a job? I think not xD
