Your Strangest Fear?

liah

Right, so mine is natural or murky bodies of water. I'm okay in a nice clean blue chlorine-filled pool but outside of that I get nervous.

The weirdest part about this is that it even freaks me out watching it on TV, films, and even videogames. I actually have to get someone else to do any part that involves water in a videogame I'm playing.

I can't honestly figure out why it squicks me out so much but I get physically uneasy when watching on a screen. Think it's something to do with the fact that in water, I wouldn't be able to escape from a situation as quickly as if I were on land, and it's murky so I wouldn't be able to see anything coming. Might also have to do with seeing dead fish float by my goggles once when swimming in a lake. Oddly, I love aquariums, and will swim in an open body of water after awhile without thinking about it once I'm actually in the water.

It's the only fear I have. I'm fine with rodents, the dark, insects, heights, blood, etc. It's just... water.

So, what's your completely stupid pointless fear?

I'm not messing.
It's a crippling fear.

When I was younger I was swimming in the sea and saw what I thought was an orange football glove on the seabed. I picked it up, and a massive rock came with it.

It was a massive starfish, clinging to the rock so tightly that it came up with it.

I dislike swimming in the sea now, because I'm afraid I'll stap on a starfish, or a crab, or seaweed (seaweed is just unpleasent though).

Heights. If you could see me, you'd realise the ironing!

Milk, I kid you not!

I think it stems from my dad's lactose intolerance, seeing his allergic reactions...

Once, when drunk, I got very upset seeing a man in a shop buying milk and tried to talk him out it, telling him it was "pumped full of hormones and badness"
:pac:

One of me mates when he was a little fella he had a load of teddies, thats pretty normal, but every single teddy bear he had that had the button type eyes in them freaked him out so much that he ripped all the eyes out and fecked the eyes/buttons down the drain.

I go around on bikes, duhh considering my name, and I know at some stage Im gonna break a bone or two. That doesnt really bother me to be honest, but one thing that I hate is the thought of breaking my collar bone. Any bone but that one. I cant even leave people touch it. I tell em about me collar bone break fear and they take the piss by trying to touch it, some slaps where giving out by reflex over the years. Hate the bloody thing.
I can imagine breaking it and me head just tilts forward and settles like that.

Eww ye dirty fookers. Why did ye remind me.

going for a smoke.

because angry bees do make a distinct sound, higher pitch than an ordinary bee just going about its business

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

is it racist to be worried about africanized bees?

Whenever my gf holds my hand, and wraps her hand around one of my fingers, it freaks me out, cause i keep thinkin she's gonna move suddenly and break it. two fingers is fine, the thumb is fine too, just one on its own

I have a bit of a fear of electricity, maybe it isnt a phobia as it isnt all that irrational.
Im very jumpy when plugging things like the TV out or changing a light bulb. I even get nervy stitching off a light and putting on toast!!!

Butterflies.
Their evil knows no bounds.
They smell my fear and try to land on me.
Skin crawls...

Delusion. I don't know if that's my "strangest" fear but it's certainly my biggest, I'm scared shitless of losing my right mind, developing a mental illness or just going crazy.

itsallaboutme!!

i dunno if it would be a "strange" fear but clowns scare the bejaysus out of me!! its just the way they have their faces painted and the big noses and hair and the outfits *shudders* it just seems like they are hiding something evil behind it all:eek:

Exposing my throat! If I have to sleep in a chair or anything like that I have to slump forward so my throat isn't exposed. Usually end up with a creek in the neck from it. When I go to a dentist/doctor etc and they ask me to tilt my head back they get a really half arsed attempt.
