Irrational
Name something that scares you more than it should. Spiders, bees, heights... fess up. For me, it has to be in off centered washer. ? It sounds like it's going to break down the house, I don't want to fracking touch it.

Mirrors, especially in the dark. Calling people (I also pretty much always refuse to answer the phone if I dont recognize the number). Normal things like heights and centipedes. I also used to be terrified of driving, until I finally just got used to it and got my license. I'm still too afraid to drive on major highways, though!
The dark. Like pitch black. I have a nightlight in every room and the hallway.
Sharks
Roaches
Flying
Public speaking
Semi trucks
People I love dying.
Bugs
Getting lost. I'm always afraid of getting stranded somewhere. I'm awful with directions.
People on pcp
Ghosts/anything paranormal
Super high heights. I'm ok climbing a ladder. But at places like the Grand Canyon I get nervous
Clowns
ETA: small spaces, also swimming alone, choking
talking on the phone. i really hate answering calls from someone i don't know, it gives me anxiety, sometimes if i'm not expecting anyone or anything, i won't answer. i'll know it's important if they call for a few times. i also always ask dh to make phone calls for appointments etc.
i used to be just fine. i think i became this way because of telemarketers. ☹️
This is going to be so embarrassing to admit...
But my fear was driving! I almost had a big accident in 2005, i was in my 20's it was my first time driving on the public road. And i became afraid, i panicked and refused to continue driving. I didn't actually get behind the wheel until last October of 2016!! I finally got licensed for the first time at 33 years of age!! I had decided to face my fear and begin driving..mostly because i knew that as a mother i have to have the skill of driving for the sake of my family and children. Especially if there is lord forbid an emergency situation that may occur.
So i faced it, and i feel a lot better now. I still get nervous especially when i am transporting passengers, or other drivers tailgating me or not using their blinkers if needing to cut in front of me. Reckless drivers are scary!!! When they are driving the freeway going 80-100mph that is too fckin fast, and they drive like this in the rain too!! It's insane to me.
Being underwater.
Flying.
Public speaking.
Speaking on the phone.
Forgetting to turn off my flat iron after doing my hair. I check it everytime I walk by the bathroom as I finish getting ready and then take a pic before I leave or else I'm calling my wife and asking her to check it repeatedly
? but really any bugs. An ex killed a spider for me and wanted to show me he killed it. I ran away and he chased me. I literally had a panic attack, was on the floor in the fetal position crying and hyper ventilating. I've also ran out of the house barefoot, crying and screaming, at 11pm because a friend chased me halfway down the street with a spider because he thought it was funny. I really can't help it, I facking hate them.
I'm afraid of the dark. I always feel like someone/something is going to get me.
I don't like knives. They make me uncomfortable. I don't even like using anything more than a butter knife. I just feel like something bad is going to happen.
I'm also like oddthomas. If I drive near water I always think worst case scenario and how I would save us.
I also can't sleep without covers and definitely not with any limbs off the bed.
Some of my fears:
My feet hanging off the edge of my bed. Clearly a monster will eat my delicious piggies.
Roaches. I love most bugs and creepy crawlies, but those... even if I see them in glass I get goose bumps. Little demons.
Mirrors, especially in the dark. I am always afraid my reflection will wink at me or something.
Driving near a canal or any body of water. I get anxious and start trying to figure out how I would get all five of my kids out safely.
If someone vomits I get paranoid that I will. I'm afraid of vomiting.
Swimming alone, even in a swimming pool I become convinced that Jaws is coming for me.
Anything I can't logically explain makes my mind panic that there's some kind of demonic activity and like I need to bust out the sage.
Small things in large numbers. Like a big clump of ants or other small bugs, or seeds, etc.
It makes me super uncomfortable I have to destroy it so they're not all together lol
I'm also terrified of spiders. I have a very intense physical reaction to them. I HATE when people post pictures of them on here.
I have anxiety about everything and always think of the worst until I have a panic attack. Super fun! Not. On our way back from Florida I was scared we were going to drive off the side of the mountain. Dh was driving and not even going 60. I hate roller coasters and anything to do with heights and falling. I hatteeeee spiders. Like I'll seriously cry. Fans that shake when they spin scare me because I feel like they're going to break off the ceiling and kill me or someone. I also hate it when the gas stove doesn't light right away because I'm scared it'll blow up.
There's plenty more. I have issues.
-The dark (but love to be scared)
-Murky water
-Giant air vents
-Tinted Glass buildings (because of the repeated nightmares I get)
-silhouettes
-dentures
-wigs
-chainsaws (I feel like they will turn on and start following me lol)
-horses
-mirrors (hate full length ones most) because they seem to be a portal to an evil world.
Any type of bugs especially spiders. Also the sound they make when squished.
Being home alone at night.
Water I can't see through.
Drains at the bottom of pools. Saw an episode as a kid of a kid getting their had sucked in the drain on that one show Rescue 911.
Large dogs. One bite my face and almost ripped my cheek off.
The dark. It's more the unknown in the dark but like going toilet at night I take my phone and keep imagining that someone is trying to break into the house and kill me or that I'm walking past a murder in the kitchen. I just hate not being able to see in the dark and have to rely on knowledge that everything is most likely ok.
Switching lanes - to the right only- in bumper to bumper traffic.
(Only from fast lane to the slow lane, but not The other way around)
I don't know if it's a fear, but it gives me major anxiety.
I hit a motorcycle that was illegally lane splitting once, now I'm super paranoid and look 20866 times before actually getting over. And I'll get over like 3 miles BEFORE my exit just so I can get "settled" hahahaha I never used to be like that.
Tee_dove... that's actually a disorder! My sister has it. She can't even talk about it without shaking and wanting to cry... it's crazy.
Earthquakes. I live in CA; I've been though a lot. But they scare the living daylights out of me! Just my dog scratching himself against something I'm sitting on and making it feel like the start of an earthquake is enough to make my heart start pounding.
Dead things. I can try and catch lizards with the kids without a problem, but the second the cat brings in a dead one (or dead anything)I'm a terrified mess. I think I'm afraid it's not really dead, and it will move, and then I'll die.
Fitmomma, I don't do the dark either, like if the power is out for some reason and I don't have candles (before we had our generator), I refuse to stay there, we'd have to get a hotel.
I can't do birds, they creep me out. When I was like five my Memaw let me watch Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds and I've been traumatized ever since. If there's a bird anywhere near me I start getting panicky.
Lol, you locked the door on a bee. ? Most of these are pretty understandable ?
Maybe bees. But idk if its irrational. I've gotten stung twice. Both when I was a kid. I stay faaaaar away from them. Even if I just see one that's not even close to me I start getting anxiety. Once a bee was LITERALLY chasing me thought my yard until I ran inside and locked the door. And last summer I was driving a mini van and a bee was stuck inside. I lowered every window but it wouldn't come out! I was swerving and screaming like a crazy person.
I'm a little traumatized lol
Bugs period but ants entering your home sends me into panic mode ?
