What is your most irrational fear?

<p>Answer! :)</p>

<p>Making too many threads in a single day.</p>

<p>Seeing every single new thread on HSL have the ominously familiar name of ChocolateBanana under it. It strikes sharp fear into my heart like a scalding stake.</p>

<p>Not being pretty enough for a significant other.</p>

<p>Hahah, you guys are funny</p>

<p>I’ve already stated this before, but clusters of small circles.</p>

<p>Apparently it’s called trypophobia. I can’t cut bell peppers because the formation of the seeds give me heart attacks.</p>

<p>^Wow, that’s actually really interesting.</p>

<p>Where else do you see clusters of small circles anyways?</p>

<p>Hmm, but seriously? -probably knowing/hearing/smelling someone fart in a silent room. I just start choking up and limiting my breathing because I know it’s going to get into my nostrils and maybe kill me from all the sublimated school tacos in them.</p>

<p>(shrugs)</p>

<p>Being ordinary. =/</p>

<p>^I don’t think that’s irrational. Many people have that fear!</p>

<p>Other than bell pepper seeds, it’s mainly random. </p>

<p>Some beef patties that have those circular patterns on them, freshly cooked rice (it forms this weird pattern), some types of dry skin, etc. Those don’t really spook me out too much though. It just gets really bad with bell pepper seeds, photoshopped pictures meant to scare/cure trypophobic people, and small scales that are located closely together. </p>

<p>It started because my fantail goldfish got pinecone disease which made all of it’s scales stand straight up. I guess I got traumatized or something…</p>

<p>My case is actually pretty mellow. Some people get reactions from lotus pods and shower heads.</p>

<p>being confused and lost with no way out
Alice In Wonderland made me cry a lot</p>

<p>moths :O</p>

<p>@fairydreams: holy crap, i didn’t even know that was a phobia. i’m completely scared by those too! bee holes scare the bejesus out of me as well as any other cluster of circles. I’m fine with seeds though. Apparently I feel like I instantly get goosebumps when I look at clusters of small holes.</p>

<p>Wet/crumpled paper. Whenever I go to water parks I get so disgusted that I throw up.</p>

<p>The dark.</p>

<p>Having a criminal living in our attic space without my family knowing it. I think I saw it on Oprah or something. Some guy was secretly living in a family’s attic. One night the mother of the family woke up and thought something didn’t feel right. When she went into her two young children’s bedroom there was a scruffy man burning some weird incense/drugs combination to “subdue” them. CREEPY! It’s basically completely irrational to think that could happen in my house though.</p>

<p>^^^haha. I just found out a few months ago that it had a name from another person who has it too (Apparently it’s fairly common?).</p>

<p>Yea. You’re probably a fellow trypophobic person :] I get goosebumps as well and this heightened sense of anxiety/wariness when I see clusters of circles/holes.</p>

<p>I think I have a very mild form of trypophobia. But it’s not really a fear so much as it is an aversion. I get a nasty feeling in my stomach and mouth when I see clusters of holes. </p>

<p>I can still look at and study those things. It just kind of grosses me out.</p>

<p>Being kinda paranoid, always thinking about/being scared about how people perceive me yet at the same time I can have kind of arrogant and condescending mentality. (silently though, nobody knows… haha)</p>

<p>I fear meeting new people/speaking in front of them. I thought that I might be socially anxious for a time, but I realized I wasn’t that bad with social situations (thankfully). Maybe this isn’t full out irrational… like cutting bell peppers. That made me lol, no offense…</p>

<p>Oh, but lotus seeds kinda DO gross me out… they look really iffy…</p>
