Irrational fears

[Exian]

Haha You talkin bout the beebs? No, if I was Justin Beiber, my fear of people attacking me would be very rational.

I'm scared of dogs ._.

It's not completely irrational. When I was a kid and skipping church ( ), two dogs ran towards me from the field and cornered me. Neither of them bit me, but it was a terrifying two minutes before their owner found them and took them with her. Been scared of dogs ever since. It's not a panic fear anymore, but I'm really uneasy around dogs.

Blindness
Shotguns
Radiation
Drowning
Castration
Crocodiles

A MIND IS LIKE A PARCHUTE : IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS OPEN

So, I suppose you won't be using an irradiated shotgun to defend yourself against a blind, vomiting, castrated crocodile who's trying to drown you, then?

Oh yea, drowning too, but it's not really irrational
I've had lots of nightmares where I'm trapped underwater and can't break the surface

Dude, you can put that quote in your signature and you won't have to copy it to every post

compared to me, you all have pretty rational fears. I am scared of being alone. I can never stay in a place if I felt there was no one else there. I have no idea why this is, and I have no childhood traumas of being left alone or anything like that, still....

Hugs and kisses for all of you

[Longhorn]

Aww. You're never alone on the internet

In no particular order:

rattle snake bite: from childhood
untreated rabies: from childhood
untreated tetanus: from childhood
falling: It happens when I'm outside with nothing blocking the edge. Can't go on my roof. At the Grand Canyon had to stay 1 body length back from the edge. This came on in adulthood.

I'm sure there are more but I'm just waking up and in a fog.

I get that thing of being afraid you'll do something, like with the fear of heights where people are afraid they'll jump

It might be my ocd, but when I was still cutting, I was scared I'd lose my shit in public and pull up my shirt for everyone to see. Like seriously afraid I would really do that

Horses.  I know that horses can be dangerous - people can get kicked, bitten, or thrown by them.  But that's what makes my fear of them irrational:  I've never been able to get close enough to a horse to risk being injured by one.

If I see a horse in a field, even hundreds of feet away, I have trouble breathing, I get cold sweats.  I can barely stand to see horses in a film or on telly.

And it's JUST horses.  I'm around other large animals with no problems at all.

Horses fucking terrify me.

I don't fear the horse but I fear getting on one. The rotten bastards know it too. Almost every time I have mounted one it throws me off. Landing sucks too. I was laid up for a week from an injured back from one.

The only thing I want to do with a horse now is make a burger out of it. I hear they are tasty.
