Butterflies D: they're flying worms with wings...they creep me out

Me, too! I never thought of that as irrational, though...Guess I was in denial.

Underwater video game levels scare the crap outta me, which is really bizarre.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I agree! Unless it was the scuba diving marine biologists game for wii.(Blue Ocean?)

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Never played it, but I think it's more the giant sea monsters in fantasy games that creep me out.

Musical chairs. The suspense builds, and then when the music stops all hell breaks loose. Especially when they play songs like "pop goes the weasel" or something.

This is redundant in a way, considering fear itself is irrational. Fear grows around trauma, culture, religion, etc. As many things in this world do.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I'm not sure that's necessarily true, since fear can be instinctive. If you see a heavy object swinging towards your skull you're gonna be afraid no matter your culture or religion.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Well I didn't say in all cases. And in that case, you don't have to be afraid to dodge it, that's just survival.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I was commenting more on the statement that 'fear itself is irrational.' I wouldn't say that fear of something that might take your life is irrational.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I agree, but it doesn't mean you're going to be afraid. Instinct of fear, and instinct of survival can be seperate.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

but fear is a life-saving instinct that's been programmed into humans since we had brains

Thanks, for being redundant. Mr.Tempest has already mentioned this, maybe not so specifically.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I'm afraid that they're going to land on me, or touch me at all, or hit me with their beaks. They just freak the shit out of me. When I was at Niagara Falls there were a bunch of birds coming by me and I ran away scared and screamed and all my friends laughed at me - _ - But yeah for payback I shoot them with water guns :))))))) Yayy PETA!

I'm deathly afraid of washing my face with the bathroom door closed....I'm pretty sure it's because I once read a murder mystery where a character gets drowned in the bathroom sink by her crazy uncle.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I'm scared of stabbing, car crashes, and I think I'm subconsciously afraid of snakes. Those aren't irrational though.

Whenever I go to the bathroom in public, I always get super afraid that some creeper is gonna attack me. Specifically at movie theatres.

This is not a fear, per se, but I can't stand to hear the song Hush Little Baby. Ever since I was a baby I would cry, and I still don't like hearing it.

A giant platypus seeing me in my underpants (; actually, I'm scared of crossing major roads. Probably because one time my friend and I walked to get ice cream, and we almost got hit by a car. I also hate walking in the front of a group of people because i think they're going to ditch me

People in mascot costumes and medical procedures. No idea why with the mascot costumes, but when I was really little I had a botched head exam that I was supposed to be knocked out for and woke up midway through... Don't remember it but I still HATE having doctors hover around my head.

I can't stand having my blood pressure taken. When I was younger the lady put the machine on me, and then left the room, and I guess I moved too much because it just kept getting tighter and tighter till my arm went numb and blue... finally my mom just took it off and waited for the nurse to come back. Now looking at one makes my heart race and I nearly start hyperventilating... Also, I can't stand having the door halfway open because of some nightmare I had.... it has to be all the way closed or open.

I have this weird thing with buttons. Like, the plastic kind you find on clothing. I have a few articles of clothing with buttons, so I go out of my way not to touch them. I think it's more disgust than fear, but when I touch them I feel like I need to wash my hands. And I hate looking at them. They look so gross.
