What are your irrational fears?

The only irrational fear i have is of cute or harmless looking things, cause i cant help but wonder if they're trying to lull me into a false sense of security -_-
The whole heights, jellyfish and bronies is very rational i find

Larger bugs creep me out. Especially beetles or roaches; they're so smug under their shells.
The eternal question: do I try to smash them or do I shoo them outdoors? Ah, screw it. I've got a cinderblock and a vacuum.
It doesn't creep you out as much when you cheerfully don a hammy evil facade while doing it. Great opportunity to practice an evil laugh, as well.

Squirming larval insects or worms give me jeevies. Especially queen termites!
I picture a bloated slime coated queen termite whenever somebody mentions they have a termite problem in their home.

Rainforest Cafe.
Yeah, the one at Disney parks and Vegas and San Francisco and all over. With all the animatronic jungle animals and stuff.
I don't know why, but ever since I was a little kid, I haven't been able to take more than a single step into one of those godforsaken restaurants. Which is weird, because animatronics and robots intrigue me and I should be really interested, but I just can't do it.

A cage.
The one thing that scares me to hell is being locked up and having no freedom left at all. Spending your entire life in a cage or cell is the worst kind of existence I can think of.

Irrational eh...
Well I'm pretty much terrified of psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists, Why? I don't know I've always been afraid that if I see one they'll send me to the nut house.
Alternatively I could have gone with the other thing that completely terrifies me but to be fair I do have a somewhat reasonable explanation as to why I'm afraid of that thing.

I have a fear of blood (hemophobia) I'm fine with a little drop of blood coming from my finger and I'm okay with giving blood but when I looked at starting to fill I did feel a slight chilling climbing up my spine.<spoiler=lengthy life experience story> The only two times this really manifested was once when I was fifteen and our biology teacher showed us the main arteries in a cow's heart, the heart wasn't washed for some obscure reasons and still dripped a bit of blood. I joked a bit about throwing up to my classmates before grabbing hold of a table and someone asking are you alright? Next thing I know I wake up looking at the ceiling with a bunch of worried faces around me trying to get me up. Had to take the day of and down a lot of sugar-water before throwing up once and having my vision seriously distorted.
Fun times.
<spoiler= Here's another time> My friends tried to make me watch Braindead (the Peter Jackson gore movie) during the custard scene I had to tuck my head between my legs to keep me from fainting again, I looked like a walking corpse for the next two hours or so people told me (o the irony)
This really sucks as an irrational fear because:
-It makes me feel like a giant wuss
-I'm always afraid some kind of accident might happen when I'm present and I wouldn't be able to do anything but pass out at the sight of wounded people.

The combination of heights and open spaces. It's funny, I hiked on the Grand Canyon and wasn't freaked out that much, but I almost fainted on the Golden Gate bridge.
My other fear would be really small insects like fleas and ticks. If I think that there are any nearby, I usually get really paranoid and my skin starts to itch, which just makes me freak out more

That someone or something would poke my belly-button too hard, causing it to unravel, and all my innards would spill out. Started when I was a kid, not quite sure where it originated. Probably a horror movie or something.
I do as well.AlAaraaf74 said:
I loathe pretty much every invertebrate except ants (and things of a similar size). The idea of alien abductions terrifies me even though I am pretty damn sure that its not going to happen for fairly obvious reasons. I am also a bit of a germaphobe and I am particularly susceptible to creepy pasta (slenderman and such), not that I fall for it, I guess it just gets my mind going in particularly creepy directions and makes me have a bit of the old hypervigilance.
Awkward social situations. I've genuinely had nightmares about them. And my regular dreams are about monsters. I think somewhere alone the way, my mind got pretty twisted.
Also reflections, particularly at night. I have a fear I'll see something unpleasant in them (Besides my face), or something unnatural, like a ghost.
