Weird fears you have

Post Reply New Topic

Some of fears I have are pretty common but I also have some that people see as strange:

-Guns (more afraid of owning one myself or shooting one than getting shot, which makes me nervous too). Most people feel safer with a gun, but for reason, I don't

-Being in a place without a bathroom (I always use the washroom just in case if I go on a long trip)

-Animals putting thei paws on me

I have not ever met anyone with these fears. I know they are kind of silly, but these things do scare me.

The possibility of getting teeth or eye injuries absolutely terrify me.

Also I have trypophobia, or "fear of holes". But it's mostly only in living things, clean-edged holes where they should not be. Rationally it doesn't bother me (or so I think) but after a few seconds I get really nauseous.

Cars. Buses. Vehicles. Pretty much anything with wheels and a motor.

I think most people are terrible drivers and do not respect pedestrians at all. In summer it's a lot worse because there are more people going on trips and tourists that I think came from a place where stopping to let you cross the street or not driving at least 10 km over the speed limit is some kind of cardinal sin. Also the heat and sunlight inside the cars in summer must bake the driver's brain cells, even with the AC on.

When I'm in a car, sudden movements like the driver slamming onto the breaks can make me scream my head off.

Why must cars be such a necessary evil? They are dangerous, noisy, bad for the environment and turn people into lunatics. Of course, I have to tolerate them to a point just so I don't go completely insane and turn into a serial tire-slasher.

"Slasher". Now that would be an intimidating nickname in jail. Unless I explained I got it from slashing tires, not people.

fear of heights, no not me being up a height (but that is a thing) but OTHER PEOPLE. my legs go to jelly and i want to throw up seeing my parents or sister on the step ladder up to our attic. ew, im feeling sick now just thinking about it. also change, we have a decking in our back garden thats been their for YEARS, basically a decade, and my mother sister decided to take down one of its banisters in order to access the garden better and have it more open, this change has weirdly really gotten to me, its been there the whole time growing up, i don't like change at all, it really depresses me and freaks me out, it takes me a few weeks to get over it.......

I don't think my fears are that weird but pretty debilitating. Flying sends my body into an absolute panic, I feel sick and can't sleep for days beforehand. I use to be very afraid of dogs but I've gotten over this and actually like them now even tho some still are pretty scary but I think that's the intention. One thing I can't stand is being alone in a restaurant, I wont eat at places where I'm the only person there. I think that is some sort of social anxiety, just feel like I am being watched and judged.

There is an airport not that far from where I live, although I don`t know exactly where it is,and sometimes I hear the roar of planes flying overhead during the night while I`m in bed. Sometimes I think one of them will eventually crash-land on the apartment building...

Or pieces of satellites or meteors...

Or bombs...

Or maybe even really big hailstones.

People, spiders and those of authority oh my...

nuff said.

I have a really bad fear of flying (unable to fly without lots of xanax), even though I've flown a zillion times in my life and one of my special interests is airplanes!! The problem is my other special interest is airplane crashes, I've spent hours on the internet reading about crashes and have scared myself silly. Ignorance is bliss they say.

The weirdest fear I have is vents (like A/C vents). The worst is hotel rooms that have low ceilings in the hallways and the vent is like 2 inches away from your head

Being trapped, and stagnant, and nothing happening to me ever. Just flat, day after day, forever.
It's an existential kind of horror which has been with me as long as I can remember, and something that never really lets me stop.
