<p>Oh, I keep remembering all these things I’m scared of as I read through these posts. Sometimes when I’m in the shower and my eyes are shut because I have soap all over my face, I get this really ominous feeling that someone’s outside or something. I don’t know, but I guess it feels kind of…claustrophobic? Anyway, even though I try to convince myself that I’m being irrational, I just start washing the soap off as quickly as I can, then back up against the wall and look around to make sure the coast is clear.</p>
<p>Okay, after rereading that, I feel insane. O_O</p>
<p>“Like, if I pull back the shower curtain and there’s a severed head hanging from the shower head.”
Um, what the hell? Does that happen to you a lot?</p>
<p>I would think you are joking but the rest of your post seems serious. Are you by any chance a serial killer, or something?</p>
<p>silence is a ball-buster. it’s a restless castrator that haunts the lonely male. it has no measurable mass, length, or width, yet possesses qualities akin to the fourth dimension.</p>
<p>Silence has eyes, ears, and TEETH. </p>
<p>You know that feeling you get when you look at someone (with whom you feel awkward, eg ex-gf), and she looks back at you, and your eyes burn and burn and you are forced to direct your eyes away? That’s silence, manifested in fire and brightness several times brighter than the sun.</p>
<p>You know that feeling you get when you’re talking to someone about something in confidence? And you pause to hear if anyone’s listening…That’s silence, listening in to your conversation. And before long that silence will bury itself in your confidant’s heart and start eating away at the vessels that chain the organ together until he/she surrenders that secret to another soul.</p>
<p>You know that feeling you get when you’re on the phone with a member of the opposite sex, and there’s an absolutely PAINFUL pause? That’s silence, sinking its teeth in your plump buttocks. That’s why you wince when you experience it.</p>
<p>^^Woah, I’ve had weird dreams where all my teeth fall out too. I wouldn’t call it a phobia though. </p>
<p>Today I had a strange dream where a yellow dragon, like that one from Dragon Tales was flapping its wings and staring at me. I was really scared. But that’s not really a phobia either is it?</p>
<p>See, talking on the phone and silences aren’t really scary if you can think of a lot of random crap to interject in between.</p>
<p>As for my real phobias, I have a lot. But I can’t really think of them atm.</p>
<p>All this reminds me of this (somewhat paraphrased) quote: “Almost everyone has an irrational fear of the dark, but they’re wrong… because it’s not irrational.”</p>
<p>I might have to add the dark and silence to my list of phobias, though it isn’t all the time. Just when I’m really tired or in a certain mood.</p>
<p>i’m afraid of spiders, heights, any and all insects, dogs, rabbits, cats (animals in general), sharp objects…i’m afraid of closing my eyes and going underwater (thats why i cant swim), i’m afraid of becoming blind, deaf. i am sometimes afraid of my own thoughts (mostly after watching a horror film i thought i was brave enough to watch)…seriously</p>
