<p>What are you afraid of even though it may be seen as trivial/stupid in the eyes of others?</p>
<p>I am absolutely terrified of balloons (ugh I hate them and everything about them), homeless people, and not being able to pay for college.</p>
<p>Your turn.</p>
<p>I’m scared of lakes that aren’t the color of somewhat clean water… as in green or brown, I just can’t go in them. </p>
<p>I’m afraid of going to sleep sometimes because when I feel horrible or sick, I think that I’m going to die or lose my breath, yeah like IDK. O_o</p>
<p>I have an irrational fear of poverty-stricken areas or “ghettos”, because crime rates are high and I’m afraid of getting mugged or killed or something similar to either. I’m also somewhat afraid of crowds for that reason, but if I feel safe, then I’m fine.</p>
<p>touching gum, going into the woods</p>
<p>The dark, when I switch off the light and then run up from the basement at night…
My Spanish 2 teacher, too</p>

<p>Welcome to my life.</p>
<p>I’m afraid of being randomly stabbed/killed. In the street, I look out for <em>any</em> suspicious behavior. Like, really. Any o.O</p>
<p>I have an irrational fear of buildings collapsing on me.</p>
<p>I have an irrational fear of cars driving too close, being on the high way, falling off of the highway, cars falling off the highway on me, highways collapsing on me, etc.</p>
<p>I’m afraid of being too close to windows on high buildings.</p>
<p>I’m afraid of murderers, like I think of ways (randomly) to kill a murderer if they try to come into my room/house/classroom/school.</p>
<p>I have an irrational fear of dying young. I’m never in the car when my teenage friends drive, if a driver has like, half a drink, I ask if their okay, if the driver texts, I don’t go with them, etc.</p>
<p>hahaha, some of these are funny. none of mine are <em>too</em> irrational…except for i’m afraid of most types of bugs. mainly, spiders & worms…omg…i can’t even…<em>shudder</em></p>
<p>OH, ALSO, there was a thread concerning honey combs a while back…apparently the OP had a phobia of them. i went on & typed in ‘honey combs’ to google images, &, sure enough, did those pictures not settle well with me. ugh, there is just something disturbing about them. that’s pretty darn irrational, i think : P</p>
<p>I, too, am afraid of paying for college. I also fear that whenever it’s my duty to hold a bunch of balloons in a car, that they’re going to pop in my face. I’m also afraid of terrorists when I fly internationally, blind corners when I drive, and angry spirits when I sleep after watching Japanese horror movies. I’m afraid I’m going to drop something valuable in that little slot between the elevator and the floor, and I’m afraid of spiders. 
I also have the completely irrational fear of small clusters of holes - trypophobia. Ugh.</p>
<p>Hmm… I used to practically sort-circut if anyone did anything with those big styrofoam blocks that made them screeech…</p>
<p>But I don’t really have any fears now…</p>
<p>Maybe I’ll think of one later.</p>
<p>I think I have an usual amount of irrational fears (as listed above).</p>
<p>I am scared of prions so much.</p>
<p>^That’s not really irrational. I’m afraid of being infected too, I think a lot of people are. A lot of people don’t know what prions are though.</p>
<p>^hey, matt, what are prions? : P</p>
<p>“I also have the completely irrational fear of small clusters of holes - trypophobia. Ugh.”</p>
<p>GAH, so that’s what it’s called. omg, i can’t even picture them in my head…so freaky! D:</p>
<p>^ AAAAARGH D:</p>
<p>I also get really scared when I’m in the shower and I have soap on my face (so my eyes are shut) and the water isn’t coming down my back. I keep worrying someone’s going to come in and kill me.</p>
<p>i fear getting killed by stupid drivers altough it’s fairly rational.</p>
<p>
ME TOO!!! I don’t know whether to lock the doors to keep them out, or to keep them unlocked just in case the ER needs to break in!!! :/</p>
<p>Gum.
10characters</p>
<p>LOL, rayna, i can honestly say that i have never thought of it that way : P</p>
<p>keep the door locked !!! I’m not scared, but it’s on my mind someone could break in. Someone already did break in and stol my ****ty laptop but left all the good stuff (?). I live in a ok part of LA but still, bars on every window and 2 outer doors, etc.</p>
<p>oh haha really? it must just be me then :P</p>
