IRRATIONAL - cannot possibly happen, but it is a fear nonetheless...


I have this irrational fear: When I am coming home at night, I have to hurry and get my key in the lock and open the door because at THAT moment, I have this fear that a large blue faced baboon is going to come screeching down the street and attack me...maybe bite a chunk out of my leg...

see, irrational.

so what are your irrational fears??

    I'm not very fond of heights, but not because I think I'm gonna fall.
    I stand on the edge of a bridge or a flat roof or something like that and I know I'm safe.
    What I'm scared of is the little voice in my head that says 'jump, go on'.
    I'm scared I will :(

    And I should add that I am in NO WAY suicidal or about to harm myself :)

    It's one of those weird little things that have always worried me :o

    Pitch black, I fear zombies are walking behind me. I'll go so far as to swing my hand behind my back to clear them away.

    Hmmm. That a shark will appear from under my bed and bite my toes. Or something will, anyway.

    I've thought something similar since childhood! If my legs dangle off the bed, someone under the bed will grab my legs and kill me. :eek:

    Also, the closet door has to be closed when I am sleeping or the boogeyman will come out and get me.

    Agreed! It came on the Monsters HD channel the other day and I DVR'd it. Haven't seen it in a long time. It was just as awesome now as it was then.

    I'm afraid MCKB is gonna shave off my eyebrow and pubes, then marry Jeff, have his kids and send me pictures.

    I have a fear of buttons. I never buy any clothes that have buttons on them. I am afraid they will somehow come off and flyinto mymouth and I will choke on them.

    Also I love Asian horror movies but at night when I am alone in the dark in bed I know that an asian dead woman will float up from my floor and kill me!

    I can't look out the window at night when I'm about to close the shades, I KNOW the girl from The Ring or the girl form Dark Water or one of them is gonna be standing on the other side staring at me.
    And I can't go to the basement at night. I just can't. There's something there.

    OMG at our old house I couldn't look out my bedroom window at night either. The people who lived across the street had this huge brick BBQ pit and it looked just like the well from the Ring especially at night. I just knew that girl was going to crawl out of there and up the side of our house and into my window!!

    i have to say, after reading some of these posts, i'm glad i never watched horror movies growing up as a kid...otherwise i would have NEVER slept :eek:

    the only thing i could think of for myself, is when i'm by a train platform and people start crowding around when the train is gonna pull in. there's that moment of being afraid of getting nudged or pushed over the edge. so i always stand back a ways :o
