Do you have one? What is it?
Lotus roots. Don't ask me why, but something about them makes me hyperventilate.
I also fear buses because it seems like I'll get lost and how will I ever get home again. I'll die on the streets, oh noes!
Losing the keys to my apartment, or locking myself out. I have to have the keys in my hand, or feel them in my pocket, before I can shut the door behind me. And I'll occasionally check in my purse throughout the day to see if they're still there.
You guys are weird too. Gimme. |

I have a fear of having irrational fears. My uncle has a fear of having a nephew who has irrational fears.
You should see us during Christmas dinners. |

| The windows in my car. Everytime I get in I have to press the buttons to each to make sure they're UP then I put the window lock button and then I look all the doors in my car. I do it almost as if I had OCD. |

| But seriously, I'm pretty claustrophobic. Extremely. |

| For that reason I don't like elevators that are full, I just wait for the next one. |

I think my only irrational fear is that one day at work someone is going to ask me a question that I don't know the answer to and then they'll go "You don't really know anything, do you?! What is it that you do here?!? Huh?!!!" and I'll be fired on the spot.
I'm also scared of Renzo's family Christmas dinners. :nervous: |

Speaking of windows.. Whether I'm alone at home or not I won't put up with any blinds or curtains not having been put down to cover the windows in the evening fearing that I'd walk by one night and some guy (can't imagine a female doing so) would be looking in or something. I don't mind walking around the house in the dark or anything but the looking in part is just damn creepy. I've had a drunk just stand with his face to the glass staring in through the window before and it scared the out of me.
He was harmless and I just opened the door and politely told him to "Get the off my property" to which he responds with "hey.. where is Sara, I'm supposed to meet her in St Louis" and I'm nowhere near St Louis. So after repeating there is no Sara living here he finally walked his ass off to continue the drunken adventure.
Considering how rarely that happens I'd say it's pretty irrational to continue worrying about it but I won't feel comfortable in my home. It was a back window too. |

I'm the same way. I prefer the house to be dark but if I see a window is "open" with the blinds to the side I freak out.. I always assume someone is watching, it's true. I start closing all the blinds around 6/7pm.. lol |

| i'm afraid of heights which is pretty common.. but to an irrational level where i dislike driving north. i had to drive to a town that's only a couple of hours away from the NWT and i was freaking out thinking it was too far up like we were going to fall off the map..:gsmile: |
