Senseless Fears

Who is afraid of something weird or silly that makes no sense to other people? I am terrified of most birds. If I find myself surrounded by pigeons when I go downtown, it is all I can do not to scream. Also, There is a pier near my house with a beautiful view of the Detroit river. I never walk on it because it has no railing, and if a seagull flew too close to me, I would definitely freak out and probably fall into the water. Please tell me some of yours so I don't feel so crazy.

    High ceilings...for some reason seeing or being close to a ceiling makes me freak out. I blame it on those weird floaty dreams I used to get as a kid.

    I have a fear of vomiting. No, seriously. Even if I'm sick and I KNOW I'll feel better if I let myself... I just can't. It's gross. :sick:
    Also, I hate being tickled. Not really a fear, just thought I'd share. lol

    I'm also scared of birds and or pretty much any type of thing that flies. (Bugs, butterflies, moths, etc.)
    Raw meat freaks me out.

    Commitment/intimacy. For personal reasons, I keep everyone at bay. It is what it is.

    I also have a HUGE fear of vomiting, I've puked once in the last 10 years and there was absolutely no holding that back

    I followed a friend onto an elevator that I was pretty sure had a sign on it that said the elevator was broken. When the doors opened, I just figured it was fixed. It wasn't. I felt myself starting to panic when the elevator didn't move. I've never been afraid of being stuck on an elevator before, and I didn't like that feeling.

    Aww dont be scared of birds, they are so sweet. I have a lovely large aviary in my backyard with a dozen cockatiels in it. They are so sweet and sing and talk. Heck, when I go out to visit, I always get several wolf whistles from them...Nice :wink:

    Not scared of elevators getting stuck, but to be safe, I make sure I tinkle first.....Just in case.:bigsmile:

    I don't have that fear, but I am very ticklish, I'll run from my mom if she tries it and throw stuff down behind me so she can't catch me

    Thunderstorms...freak me right out. I have to watch for the lightening so I can count how far away the thunder is. If it's a middle of the night thunderstorm, I sleep right against my fiance with my fingers in my ears. Or any extreme weather. It's been a rough summer. :frown:

    I am terrified of fish and feet. Both just creep me out so much.
    I can't even look at my own feet.

    Yes, that is definitely a good idea! :bigsmile: I don't know where this fear came from. I've actually woken up with my heart racing because I was dreaming about someone kidnapping me and taping my mouth shut, and my nose was stuffed up so I couldn't breathe. I think I watch too many horror movies.

    I think the two people who have a fear of commitment should hook up.

    I'm with you on this one. I am terrified of birds, especially chickens. And I am also terrified of mice. Once, a bat got into our farm house. I freaked and locked myself in the bathroom for hours. A mouse with wings made it a double!

    haha... I was just talking to my husband about this at lunch..
    I have come to realize that I won't look at mirrors in the dark. Won't even lift my head up if I have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and don't turn on the light..

    And June bugs.. Blahh... They like getting stuck in my curly hair if I sit outside at night... :sick:
