Irrational Name something that scares you more than it should. Spiders, bees, heights... fess up. For me, it has to be…

Bugs period but ants entering your home sends me into panic mode ?

Birds. Pretty much anything w A large number of legs. Teeth, like people pulling their teeth, wiggling teeth (I'll have nightmares of me pulling my own teeth out?). Heights.

The worst for me is honestly the teeth?? lol. I'm weird, ik.

Spiders, heights and I also have a phone phobia as some others have mentioned. The thought of having to talk on the phone fills me with anxiety.

I'm deathly afraid of the titanic, I can't watch the movie, when I'm in the pool I picture it below my feet (I can't be in pools alone because of it) and when I'm in the ocean don't get me started ? scariest shat ever.

I used to love the water. I had an incident where I came close to drowning, now I'm terrified of bodies of water. I can't stand to be on a boat or anything anymore. I also have a pretty big phobia of snakes and clowns.

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!

Holes ? trypophobia

Spiders ? snakes ? rats ? bugs like cockroaches and wasps ? clowns ? being alone in complete darkness & scary movies at any time of day or night ?

Omg I just realized I'm scared of a lot of things. Does this make me a wuss?!

Birds TERIFY me! Like I drop to the ground when one flies over

Vomit!!

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.

Snakes

Being buried alive (I'm claustrophobic)

Darkness (im like almost blind without my glasses so my eyes deceive me a lot)

Clowns

And that may be it ?

Grasshoppers. Things scare the shat out of me when they jump at me

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.

Dogs. I have no idea why. Even a tiny chihuahua scares the living crap out of me! I'll freak out if one even gets anywhere near me

Roaches. I can't even bring myself to kill one if I see it. I scream for SO to come kill it. My fear is so bad you would wonder why I still live in Florida, state of the facking palmetto bugs with our damp shrubbery and whatnot ?

Mushrooms that are in the ground

Bugs

Germs

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 want to know about the phone one ??

Any bugs, heights, cars (perfectly fine in Jeeps, trucks, SUV's), stupid drunk people, yelling.

Waterbugs...can't stand em

My husband driving gives me horrible anxiety. I literally have to bite my cheek so I don't yell out.

I can't be around anyone handling a knife. Even my husband or my own parents who I know would never hurt me. I just can't do it. Anxiety x1000.

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.

Peanut butter.

Dying, hypochondriac

Fish (dead, alive, cooked) cause me so much anxiety.

Veins, I almost pass out every time I get blood work, not because of the needle but because of the thought of my veins popping out. I also get a lot of anxiety having my blood pressure taken for the same reason.

Ladybirds, moths, people in costume, cutlery that doesn't match (I can't eat with it if it doesn't match!)

The dark.

Any kind of bug, heights, the dark, the dentist, deep water.

Telephones. Don't ask

Also I don't understand your username? That's link right?

@stacibucher yeah it's called trypophobia. It makes me feel cringe instensly ? I can't stand looking at things with tiny holes.

Aliens and mice...weird I know ?

Madagascar Roaches or any flying cockroach ?

I'm really scared of heights... I wish so badly that I wasn't but I get a horrible sick feeling and go all wobbly ☹️

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.

Playdough. I've told most people I'm allergic because I fear it so much.

Clowns!! Even a cute little kid clown scares me. The white face paint, red nose, rainbow colored hair, everything about them freaks me out!!!

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.

Spiders,dogs, and strangers ?

Spiders, driving over bridges or up a really steep road, tight spaces.

The dark ? I have an overactive imagination lol

Moths!!!!

The dark, open waters (sea, ocean, rivers etc) and my biggest phobia........ANTS

Rats or mice especially wild ones !

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.

Being home alone, especially at night. We've lived in our house for 5 years and never once stayed alone without my dh because I'm so terrified someone is going to break in. If my dh needs to be gone, which is rare, I stay at my parents house.

Apparently my jacket hanging up in the corner. Its like 2 am and I from the corner of my eye it creeps me out because it looks like a shadow. I ignored it for like 5 minutes and really just had to get up to move it lol.

Birds.

People touching my ears or their own ears. And all kind of bugs and rodents - flying, crawling, furry, you name it, I hate them all!!

Covering my hands like with gloves,

not being able to move my hands freely

Anything covering my face

Being too hot I start to panic

People yelling like angry I can have anxiety/ panic attacks from that

Dh's driving

Spiders/ insects

Snakes lizards

Drowning and mice ? when I swim I make sure NO ONE is at the pool except life guards ?

Vomit. Everything to do with vomit. I should probably see a psychiatrist, I worry about it so much!!! I bet I think about it at least 25 times a day. ?

Palmetto bugs (big a$$ roaches from hell)

Open cabinet doors. I forget I left them open and swear someone has been in the house

Heights and frogs

Balloons and opening a can of biscuits.

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.

Vomit ? I can handle my lo and so vomiting but when other people do... I go into panic mode lol no idea why. Been this way since I was a kid.

Oh, and sharks. I'll go up to my ankles at the beach and that's pretty much it. I always think a shark is going to eat me. And I think surfers are insane for going so far out. Ughhhh gives me anxiety

Flying in an airplane. I've literally cried sitting next to a stranger and held their hand. The take off, the turbulence, the landing .. it all just freaks me out! I refuse to fly!

Motorcycles

Haha a friend's dad was being a jerk when I was super little and pretending to chase us but we thought it was real I guess I have always been scared of them

Elevators, big bridges, & llamas

Afraid of the dark.

Spider

Crowds of people

Small spaces

Chainsaws

Small foods in large groups.

Examples: peas, corn off the cob, cereals like Cocoa Puffs, beans.

Covering my face with a blanket or anything. Wearing sweaters. Needles but just seeing them. Don't mind shots or stuff. Just cant watch them in a movie or something. Watching a movie or reading a book with people underwater; makes me feel like I'm drowning.

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.

When I'm cooking and the grease starts to pop back, gets me everytime.?

Flying. For some reason I can't handle airplane rides anymore. I have traveled so much in my life, and this fear developed a few years ago out of nowhere. I get panic attacks now when I know I have to get on a plane. It's the only time I have I take a xanax or Valium.

Birds ?

I am afraid of the dark. Like if I'm in a pitch black bathroom and there's no light, I feel panic. (yes I sleep in the dark in my room). And dark wooded foresty areas. I guess Im scared there's something there.

When I'm playing a video game or watching a movie and the character jumps or falls from somewhere high. It makes my stomach jump to my throat every time. DH laughs at me ?

Asylums

And the funny part is ... I'm going to school to be a psychologist ?

Any and all things that fly. Bugs, birds, bats, I hate them all. At our old house we had hummingbirds & the jerks would dive bomb you if you were just sitting there. The babies were the worst, they were only about the size of a bee & so fast you never saw them coming ?

Lol, you locked the door on a bee. ? Most of these are pretty understandable ?

Things with tiny holes in them ?

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

Being put in public. It sends my anxiety through the roof unless I am having a bad day. Then I really don't care about anything. (For me I feel like this is an irrational fear to have)

Storm drains/gutters. Like to the point I refuse to walk over or near them and will cross to the other side of the street or sidewalk to avoid them.

Opening a can of cinnamon rolls.

Balloons popping ?

Hiccups

Heights and mice. Any rodents really but mice in particular

Semi-trucks

Potato bugs. They are the devil.

Riding a bike. I panic every time. Very traumatizing event as a kid stuck with me even after I became an adult. I know it's just a bike.

Yet, motorcycles don't bother me.

Spiders. They are little eight legged demons summoned from the pits of hell. I have a legit physical reaction when I see one.

Spiders, heights, watching scary movies at night lol

Butterflies
