What are your irrational fears?

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

I'm paranoid that someone is always watching me, especially at night when I'm trying to sleep....

Don't sleep so provocatively then.

It's not my fault! I learnt how to sleep by watching movies D:

Lol! I love people sleeping in movies... I found an old sheet once so I made a movie inspired 'L' shaped sheet for mine and my ex's bed... She thought it was funny, but after we tested it out I just felt awkward, exposed and cold lying with no sheet to cover up!

I fear any wear I can see the horizon totally flat, like in the middle of a big field or by the ocean. Also extremely high ceilings and open skies, It's why I always stay really close to the sidewalk so when I look up at the sky their are buildings and street posts. I also hate the moon and stars and only go out at night if there is a lot of cloud coverage.

This place is absolutely frightening, I'd probably seize up and whenever I'm in a place like that I need to get close to the ground. I can't stand standing up over top the terrain. I looked for a phobia corresponding to this online and the closest I found was Agoraphobia.

Myiasis, I've got a weird fear of being infested.

Insects, spiders etc don't bother me at all. But the though of them laying eggs in my skin and then having thousands of critters crawling around under. It wigs me out. By extension things like coral give me a bit of a spine tingle. And hives can do the same, so can sunflower husks.

I've had it as long as I can remember. The only thing is that because it's the only thing that wigs me out. I watch videos and stare at images about it for hours some times. It's almost like some perverse obsession, but when a video gives me that skin crawly feeling, I'll watch it and watch it and watch it some more.

Botfly vids on youtube have consumed a sizeable portion of my life.

You sir have just made me puke out every single organ in my body. Well done
My most irrational fear would have to be cool whip. It just creeps me out. Whipped cream is fine though.

You think that one was bad?

Spoiler: Brace yourself!

Sadly I have no more guts to puke out.
but it's weird, I'm not as horrified with this video as I am with the other one.
Also have you heard of guiny worm (don't know if I spelled guiny right) a person of your fears would be absolutely horrified at the length those worms are when they crawl out of your body

 

[deadish]

I have OCD. So too many to list, not to mention that they vary from moment to moment

 

[Reggie Rock]

Turkeys. Those fucking faces scare the shit out of me. Why do they exist, they could have had normal faces but NOOOOO.

 

[Chased]

I have an irrational fear of Space. In my head the vastness and the feeling of being perpetually cold terrifies me. I also tend to steer clear of science fiction for the most part. In my youth I greatly enjoyed Star Wars and I played through Mass Effect 2. Even though I like fantasy, I feel disconnected to science fiction as a whole and can't relate to it regardless of how "great" the story is (such as Mass Effect).

I'm not that bad with insects, my Bio teacher had a tarantula back in High School which was pretty cool. I wouldn't go out to buy one though.

 

[yaydod]

Well im still scared of the dark, that some thing is lurking over my shoulder, waiting to snatch me, pull me down to its nightmare realm. It is getting better but im always tense when im alone on the dark (no pun intended).

Im 20 now and my other fear is that i loose my cool and eat a personnes throat open. Go on a killing spree, not that the killing would bother me (MUahAhAHAHAH) it is the consequence of such acts and all the effects on he world surrounding me.

 

[Lederin]

Jellyfish and Flies...*shudder*

I went snorkeling with my dad one summer and we swam into a little cove filled with (albeit non-stinging) jellyfish D8 It was pretty grim

 

[Ralen-Sharr]

needles horrify me
I can watch a video of someone getting a shot and I freak out
the pain does not bother me, but something about syringe needles just triggers a panic attack

Yea I know them well.

But what's odd is that it's the small but plentiful things that weird me out.

Things like the guinea worm or tape worms don't bother me so much.

It's when they're peppered about in the skin and make like a hive form. That's also why I think things like

Spoiler: this coral

and

Spoiler: this plant

give me the tingles.

I think I've got trypophobia, because it's not particularly the thought of the insects of even the infestation that wigs me out. It's the abundance and the holes.

These two images....... I can't stop looking at. They've haunted me for years.

Spoiler: save yourself

I know they're doctored, but my rational brain doesn't do a thing to stop it from making my skin want to crawl off. Suppose that's what makes it a phobia.

It's the only thing that gets me though, I honestly couldn't name another phobia I have. I'm pretty much unscarable, even unqueseyable.

But random holes in the skin, alluding to an infestation. It wigs me the fuck out, and I think because nothing else does that. I become completely obsessed with the images and videos I find.

I have the exact same phobia as you, seriously, those pictures, especially that last one made me so uncomfortable and disgusted that I want to hurt you for posting them. I won't though...

... Okay maybe a little.

 

[jizzytissue]

spiders stupid i know but it probably stemmed from my mum she's scared of them

 

[Saladfork]

I'm afraid that this battlestation will be quite operational when your friends arrive.

It haunts my nightmares.

 

[dickywebster]

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

 

[Shadie777]

Well, I have a fear of being evil.
I am basically scared of me becoming evil in some way. May not seem irrational but the thought that I could have the capability of being evil just makes me nervous.

 

[C F]

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.

 

[Don Savik]

Spoiler

I apologize. I have had nightmares the past couple days and cannot get him out of my head.



GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!

:C

 

[Monkeybald]

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.

 

[onewheeled]

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.

 

[BathorysGraveland]

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.

 

[Kapri]

Dolls. Especially he ones that have eyes that follow you around a room.
