I need your Irrational Fears

[Madkins]

I need to gather some irrational fears. It's paramount to what I'm doing, probably. I'll even share one of mine.
Porcelain Dolls, I hate those eyes.

The barking of dogs in the distance. I actually love dogs and in close quarters I rarely ever get spooked by them while doing my delivery job. If I hear dogs and I can’t identify their location, however? Especially when I’m outside at night? Lizard brain insists that is a furry missile pointed directly at my ass with full intention to rip off chunks of my leg.

My fear of clowns is perfectly rational.

Yeah, I mean if they can fit fifty in a car, imagine what they can do to you in the back of the ice-cream truck...

Ah, another fellow with glenophobia! That and thalassophobia and megalophobia

 

[Ellie_in_Pink]

Mannequins with faces drawn on them. Not just one ... but hundreds ... all around. At a wig shop. They were just ... watching me. No matter where I went.
Oh, and the open sky. I'm afraid to look at the sky at night, because some part of me is convinced that gravity will reverse and I'll end up endlessly falling. Kind of a ... reverse fear of heights?

Sorry for not taking the question seriously. I couldn't resist the urge to... clown around ₍^. .^₎⟆

Tbh, I don't think I even have much in the way of rational fears. Too apathetic.

Dude, you must also know that they are conspiring to overthrow humanity...

I'm halfway with you? I think.

No fight or flight response?

Mirrors in the dark, fucking terrifying

 

[great_sloth]

I can't sleep a wink whenever I am traveling cuz I fear that I would wake up in heaven, or hell, after our vehicle crashed or something. So, travelling is really a torture to me.

 

[AliceMoonvale]

Window curtains open at night.
Barn Owls. Bats. Bees. Planes.
Feeling drowsy.

Irrational, huh? I have loads.

Lots of them were when I was a kid that sort of... lingers into dread, or just... I honestly don't know. Here's just a random collection
A good classic... that the Chuck E Cheese mascot would drag me into the back and turn me into pizza. Or any costume mascot, especially Disney.
So thinking my hands would get cut off in those hand air dryers (the ones you stick your hands in) or the skin blown off.
That whenever I walk under those huge power lines which buzz it'll fall on me and kill me immediately. It was worse when it was on a bridge. (Same in any building with more than four floors)
Ah, bridges... they are terrible to walk on. I'm scared those will break. Not when I walk under them though.
That I'd suffocate myself when listening to music with headphones, strangled and all that.
The DMV, especially. Every time I see the warning that it's an offence if the information is wrong, so I panic for the whole day. Even after checking.
I hated livestreams, twitch, because I was convinced that somehow visual and audio feeds of me would just... pop into the stream.
That sometimes the stars are fake (no, I can't explain, and no I'm not a conspiracy theorist)
I can't sleep with any limbs hanging over the bed.
Earwicks or spiders going into my ears to lay eggs if I don't wear earplugs... and that there'll be a break in if I do wear them.
Mannequins coming to life and killing everyone.
That I sent naughty or weird photos in text or email. After sending it. And it takes five times before relaxing.

Bugs and darkness.

You know that one has made me jump a few times over the years. Especially when I was younger.

 

[ArchlordZero]

Phone calls. Any phone calls

 

[GreenStudio]

Sleeping around other people.
It's an annoying tick that's prevented me from going on any sleepovers, or road trips, or school trips. I can't even sleep around my family.

Is the limbs hanging over the bed because you think about saw blades? I used to picture that at night a very little kid
