I have one of the strangest fears that I know of and was wonder what other strange fears people have. I have a fear of Raw hotdogs you know the cold ones you buy at the store. After they are cooked I am fine but A cold hotdog with those juices on it (its giving me chills just thinking about it)
And my sister has a fear of cotton balls.
I have a completely irrational fear of flying since it's very safe but whenever I fly, I'm so nervous that I have to be completely aware of everything so as to will the plane to stay in the sky.
Oh and the movie, Super Mario Brothers b/c everytime I watched it as a kid, I'd get super super sick, like fevers, vomitting, headache, sore throat, the entire 9 yards. So I just avoid it, I will seriously walk out of the room if someone starts to play that movie. You just can't get me to watch it.
I have an irrational fear of cutting myself with scissors. I'd probably pass out and die in my own vomit if I ever cut myself with scissors. Not anything else mind you, just scissors.
I have an immense fear of the dark. So embarrassing to admit, but I can't walk across a dark room. DH has to be the last one to turn out the lights.
Absolutely petrified with the idea of a cockroach crawling way up into my ear one night.
Also that I may one day contract the flesh-eating disease.
My biggest fears are heights and someone breaking into my house. I know a lot of people are afraid of heights but I seriously can have a panic attack when I'm too high. I doesn't help that I've been at the top of a ladder when it broke, and fell a good 10 feet off a cliff onto rocks.
As for the breaking in thing... I think I watch too many crime shows, I'm just freaked out by the idea.
I have a fear of being stabbed, especially in a crowd. Not that being stabbed in private is profoundly less bad.
I have the insane fear that my house will be broken into, or will burn down. I unplug EVERYTHING if its not being used!
but my number one fear above anything else..... Millipedes. OMG I wanna puke thinking about them.......... ACK!
@MrsRuby: OMG, I can't believe I forgot fire! Fire is another huge fear of mine. My microwave sparked yesterday while I was heating up pizza and I flipped out. I always have dreams about only being able to save one thing while my house is burning, and I have random thoughts about how would I save both of my cats if there were a fire since I live alone and carrying both would be tough.
Ugh... I hate millipedes too! And spiders, ick. Spiders freak me out too. Good thing I have cats :)
Dropping babies/falling asleep and smooshing them [ my future imaginary kid(s) ]
@Eva Peron: I had major anxiety about this when my youngest was born I wouldnt walk/stand when i was holding her for over 6 months.
@MsPanda: Legitimate question: what exactly are you afraid they're going to do / result from having contact with them? (the cold hot dogs, that is)
I am terrified of being burnt alive. I had nightmares every night as a kid of being burnt up in my sleep. The nightmares continued for 15 years! I therefore refuse to be cremated. I made FI put it in writing that he wouldn't cremate me. Chop me up and feed me to the fishes just don't burn me!
I'm afraid of certain dolls, especially things that talk like Teddy Ruxpin. Growing up I had a pretty big Mickey Mouse doll that you put cassette tapes in his back and he'll read a story book to you. He used to make those creepy robotic squeeky noises when he moved his mouth or blinked. Well when he was getting older his speech became a little more like deep, drawn out mumbling. Well, one night I went to bed, I was about 7 or 8 and he went off in the middle of the night and scared me. From that night forward every doll and stuffed animal I had stayed in the closet when I went to bed.
@firsttimemom: To be honest I have no idea I just cant have them near me. I have a panic attack.
Needles. I've passed out twice donating to Red Cross (during, not after), so they told me not to give blood agan for at least 10 years.
Sticking my hand in a buttery popcorn bag-- I hate the way the butter gets on my wrist! I'm terrified of pirates, and I have an irrational fear that I'm going to get arrested/detained by customs/busted doing something wrong even when I know I'm 100% innocent.
I have a fear of clusters/honeycomb shape things, especially on the skin of people. but they have to be rather small.omg my skin is crawling just typing all of that. I'll cry if I see something of this sort.
I'm always afraid that things will explode (electric stove burner, water in the microwave, any kind of helium/propane/etc tanks, the list goes on).
Also, balloons.
@Bao: OMG I think I'm kinda afraid/freaked out by that, too!!!! Like when a bug lays a cluster of eggs on a leaf. BARF UGH GROSS
Oh, and I forgot to add the little flaps/gills on mushrooms. BLECH. That's more in the realm of makes-your-skin-crawl than irrational fear.
I'm afraid of ankle-slashers. The bad guys that hide under your car and cut your achilles tendon so you can't run away. I ALWAYS look under my car, at home, the store, wherever. Mr.ND thinks I'm bonkers. I must have watched a bad Lifetime movie or something when I was young, I have NO idea where this fear came from.
Needles. I darn near pass out at every shot/booster/blood draw I've ever had.
Raw meat (so I hear you on the hot dogs, @MsPanda). You could lock me in a room by surrounding me with raw chicken breasts. My own personal Hell would be a life sentence to making meat loaf *gag* Seriously, freaks me out. I'll eat meat, but if someone else isn't making it, I'm a vegetarian out of fear/phobia. LOL.
Cars.Cars.Cars.
Well, cars going "fast." & My fast is under the speed limit. I hate it. My husband has been doing 40 before & I tell him to slow down. & Even under 40 depending on the road. Usually I am holding on to the door handle for life & freaking out at every curve. Ive been known to almost puke. I wont ride in a car with anyone other than my husband. The last time I rode with my mom she told me never again. lol When I drive its fine. I have no idea why I am this way but my mamaw is the same exact way. I guess I get it from her. I always tell my husband when he says "I am doing 10 under the speed limit I am going to get a ticket for going to slow." This is how I feel. Imagine your worst fear, someone holding a spider or snake in your face taunting you with it. That is the way I feel in a car. :/
lol I read the word roach in one of the PP's comment and scrolled down quick. I hate themmmmmmmmmmm!! but I would have to say tht is pretty rational, something irrational for me would be, I have a fear of glass-- mostly cracked glass!! omg I hate them, and cant touch them. they scare me.. even if the scratch is sooo small..
@Mrs.Estep: I'm 100% with you on this one too... I was in a fatal car accident when I was younger and i'm always terrified of being in another horrible accident again. My life would have turned out so differently if it weren't for that accident! I woudln't say your fear is irrational.
You know those people at amusement parks that dress up in the giant costumes of cartoon characters? Those used to freak me out to the point of crying and screaming as a kid. Now, it doesn't scare me as much, but I get scared of who could possibly be inside.
Now, my biggest fear would have to be someone being...violently ill, to put it lightly. As my first job, I worked at a place where this would happen with kids a lot. I never passed out completely, but I've gotten incredibly close to it because it scares me so much.
@jjmomma:same here. I go through this crazy routine of turning on lights ahead of me then going back and turning them off. It's pathetic
I watch way to much Criminal Minds and now I have an irrational fear of being taken by a cereal killer. I know how unlikely that is and I know I probably should watch the show because its making me a paranoid freak, but I love the show and I just think of it as being more aware I guess...
I also have a fear of the dark!!
Mayonaise!!! EEK! I don't even like to say (or type) the word. I don't want to touch the jar. I don't want to look at it or have it anywhere near me. This developed sometime after my grandmother put the stuff in my hair when I was a child.
I'm overcoming it though, because FI likes it on his sandwiches, etc. So I put it on there for him. I would never do this for anyone else!
Also, waterbugs, or GIANT ROACHES that fly! Eeeek! They climb on the walls and the celing and I'm terrified of one crawling on me. :-O
Flying and house fire are my top 2 fears but my irrational fear is that I'm going to turn on the garbage disposal while my hand is reaching something out of it. Everytime I have to get something out of the garbage disposal I freak out because I am afraid that I will flip the switch, even though I know I won't!
I'm not going to call this irrational because it could happen. I am very afraid of my tire going flat while I am driving in the dark in a creepy place and having to wait for AAA to come get me and while I am waiting, someone stopping to help and being creepy or hurting me.
Actually, I am afraid of a stranger hurting me or breaking into my house while I am there alone and doing something to me. This might sound wierd, but my FI always says how little I am and doesn't like to see me get hurt, so ever since I met him I worry about someone physically hurting me. We don't watch crime shows anymore because I started getting too wigged out.
Ferris wheels, and walking over bridges that has fast moving water under it.
Unfortunelty, I live in a town that floods alot so to get from point A to Point B sometimes you have to walk.
Also, FI thinks its fun to put me on the Ferris wheel at the carnival and watch me shake/ panic slightly.
@Bao: oh my god this!!!!! there was this stupid email hoax thingy going around about a woman who supposedly had larvae from some weird disease she got from not washing her bra or something. there was a picture with it that showed her boob (the infected body part) with a cluster of open holes with little gray things in em. it literally made my boob tingle and i felt sick to my stomach. i was watching a show the other night on coral reefs and there is this type of coral that looks like clustered up holes with little thingies all over it. that made me sick too. the look of it is just gross and i am getting all fidgety right now thinking of anything clustered up on someone's skin. ugh! its horrible.
i will also add in my weird fears.....
im afraid of ice falling on my head and killing me in the winter. i live in a big city and my work commute used to require walking downtown and those "falling ice" signs would make me panic and i would walk really close to the buildings so as to try and avoid being killed by a gigantic ice chunk.
im afriad of being struck by lightning. like i will be that one person to run to her car in a storm and get struck. or something like that.
im afraid of the wind knocking over a light pole or a hanging stoplight and it going right into my car and killing me.
im afriad to drive behind trucks or people carrying stuff like kayaks or bikes or mattresses or whatever on their car. especially on the highway, i have a fear that it will fly off and impale me and i will die.
I have a fear that i will be sitting on my porch or wahtever and a random car will pull down my block and i will be the victim of a random shooting. thank you very much years of living in bad neighborhoods for creating this fear.
I also have a fear of having a blow out on the highway, losing control and dying.
i think my biggest fear is that i will die in some random way while alone somewhere and no one will find me right away and my body will just sit there all alone.
i am obviously one messed up girl lol. but i have a really active imagination and have convinced myself that one of these things will happen to me. its pretty bad
I dont like ferris wheels for some reason. I always imagine them releasing from the axle and rolling off into the sunset... with me still in the seat!
Re Hotdogs- you realize that there is no such thing as a "raw" hot dog. Its just not heated when you buy it.
"Frankfurters (a.k.a., hot dogs, wieners, or bologna) are cooked and/or smoked sausages according to the Federal standards of identity."
I have all sorts of strange fears. Two of the biggest are multiple personality disorder (namely, that I have it and don't know that I have it!) and robots (specifically, that they will gain sentience and turn on us).
However, my very weirdest fear is of putting raw chicken in my mouth. I'm not afraid of raw chicken in a general sense, just that I'm specifically going to put it in my mouth. When I'm cooking with chicken I can't do anything else, not even talk to my husband, because I have to say to myself (in my head) "don't put that chicken in your mouth, you can't put that chicken in your mouth, chicken doesn't go in your mouth," etc.
And to be clear, it's not like I crave raw chicken meat or that I've ever been inclined to eat chicken raw, I'm just afraid that if I'm not paying attention I'll stick it in my mouth.
@twodoghouse: not in a mean way at all but that raw chicken part made me lol. mostly how you have to concentrate when cooking it. i know its not supposed to be funny and im sorry for lol'ing. :( i fail.
