Okay, that is pretty terrifying despite being yes, pretty irrational. If the mannequins were always in the same place then I could probably get used to them as if they were a lamppost or other furniture, but if they were ever moved from one day to another and I wasn't expecting it? I'd probaby have tried to attack one as if it was a home intruder. My main fear is driving/riding along sheer drops, whether it's at the side-most lane of a bridge or close to a cliff. I know I'm a good driver and I know that probably a few thousand people drive the same path safely every single day, but I still get so worried that my arm is going to spasm and pull the wheel to the side, or someone beside me is going to side-swipe me off the edge, and once I'm in the air it's all over. It's a fear I have to deal with though, since bridges are rarely avoidable. What are you going to do, drive around the river or the ravine?
Spiders that are as big as my hand. That is my irrational fear. Irrational only because they do not exist here in the Netherlands outside of pets and in zoo's and the like. One reason I am never ever setting foot in Australia if I can avoid it.
Also death I seem to have this looming feeling I'm gonna die soon(makes impulse control hard because maybe my impulses will help me love)
I used to be afraid of heights, but after I went to Universal Studios, my fear of heights kind of went away. (I don't recomend doing this. It was scarry as hell.)
For some reason I'm afraid of all my friends abandoning me. My friends mean everything to me and having them go away would do absolutely horrible things to my mentality I guess? I've had dreams of this happening so that's fun... Alongside that I have a smaller fear that nobody will ever love the things I do and all the love and support I've received in my "career" as an artist is fake.
I've had nightmares before that all my hair and teeth would fall out... so I guess that's an irrational fear since I take really good care of them but still worry about that.
When I was younger, sometimes I forgot to close and lock the door and my dad would get on me for that, saying, "someone could've come in and killed us." Gentle reminder to help me remember to close the door every night, right? Now, I know that the reality of your house being broken into is very slim, and the rate of being murdered (in my household's case since we don't have any firearms in the house and that's statistically safer) IF you were broken into is even slimmer, but every night I have to check the back door to make sure it's locked. I sometimes do it twice. Which leads into lots of anxiety on some weekends where I'm careless and forget to close the door until after midnight. I always have a moment where I think someone has gotten into the house and is in my basement waiting to kill me. I know that the chances of that are really low, but it's always something I end up thinking about when the door's open.
I'm normally okay with bugs, but I have this weirdly specific fear of bugs crawling into my ears while I'm asleep.
I have a deathly fear of anyone who dresses themselves in full black and no other colour - 9/10 times they are a Mafia man.
Mainly heights. Seriously, if I'm ever near a cliff, I just get this feeling I'm gonna fall off for whatever reason. Oh yeah, and vending machines one day becoming the dominant race. That vending machine thing, that's gonna happen.
Spiders, needles, and anything else medical related (including doctors/dentists, illnesses, and hospitals) scare the hell out of me. It sucks being an arachnophobe living in Australia, because we have huge, hairy spiders, the worst being huntsmans. They're big, but they're also insanely fast. They even have a habit of crawling under sun visors in cars and falling on people when they open them. I'm sure they have been the cause of many accidents.
Sheer heights with little to no space to safely stand. And also small spiders and other bugs. It may seem odd, but I'm completely okay with larger spiders. The smaller a bug is in my mind, the more likely it is to be venomous.
I'm scared of elevators. I can go on them, but I get all stiff and almost seem to hold my breath, and I can't relax until I'm off it again. I blame the Tower of Terror movie. Another fear, and I only realized today just how bad it is, is fireworks. I've never liked them. They're too loud, and they always startle me. I always thought that I just didn't enjoy them, and then today my family was at a celebration and, right out of the blue, they set off fireworks right near us, and I freaked out. It was way too loud. I couldn't look at them, I couldn't relax, and I started crying a little bit. So, yeah, I'm apparently afraid of fireworks.
Cats. I DESPISE them so much, if I see one I skedaddle away. I also don't like heights, rats, cockroaches, spiders, death etc. etc., but those are pretty normal. Actually, I remember hearing a superstition somewhere in Far East Asia that if you sleep facing a mirror, you will get nightmares.
