What are some fears or perhaps phobias you have that may seem off to others? I'm afraid of food getting stuck to the roof of my mouth, because it gives me the sensation of choking. I can't eat peanutbutter and certain dipped foods because of this. The reason is I almost died of choking as a kid, but it seems weird to others.
I'm actually afraid of driving and of my old room because my father would let me drive when I was little and when my parents got a divorce I became afraid of him and every time I think about him I get a panic attack.
Oh boy... - Anything medical related. Doctors, dentists, hospitals, illnesses, cancer, surgery. Even typing those words out makes me feel kinda anxious. - Ovens and any sort of open flame inside. Makes me Incredibly anxious. I worry about the house burning down. Also one of the reasons I haven't learnt how to cook properly yet... - People hating me, both online and offline. This one is probably due to my anxiety. - Some types of dolls and puppets freak me out, especially antique porcelain dolls, and clown dolls also. *shudders*
I'd say a very new, and very real fear for me is typing something absolutely ridiculous in the Discord chat and accidentally pinning it. And I know they can be unpinned, but it's just an embarrassing thought for me...
Climbing up/down stairs late at night has always spooked me. Not because I'm afraid of tripping or anything. I have this irrational fear that something paranormal will either be waiting at the top to push me all the way down again, or will start chasing me up them. Don't look at me like that, it's embarrassing. ;_;
All of my fears are weirdly specific. I'm not afraid of bugs themselves, but of bugs crawling into my ears while I'm asleep. I'm okay with needles and getting shots, but getting IVs specifically always results in a horrible panic attack, sometimes to the point of passing out. I can sing on a stage in front of people, even solos, and I'm fine, but the second I have to do any sort of public speaking I just completely shut down.
I'm afraid of mosquitoes. Like, it's not that I just hate them, they also scare me. But it's even weirder: I ""don't mind"" them coming when I'm asleep, I'll ""just"" be pissed. However if I'm trying to sleep and I hear one of them, I cannot sleep until they're gone. And to make it even more annoying, I can't even try to squash them because I can't stand squashed bugs, even mosquitoes... An even weirder one... I'm afraid of falling in love. Like, for real. When people are in love, they always start being idiots, doing dumb things... I can't stand the thought that it could happen to me too.
I can actually understand this very well. But then I did screw up and just laughed it off or rightened it and just went on my way. I hope you can relax a bit about it soon.
I have this really weird fear that one day I'm going to be hit by some asshole in a car. I don't particularly live in a great neighborhood, so I always have really bad anxiety when waiting at a nearby bus stop or even crossing the street. x.x
