Ridiculous things your afraid of

@Darbie914 I use to have those dreams too. They said it means you are worried about money, or having money problems.

Clowns, Popsicle sticks, a lack of apostrophes.

Oh wait, I have another.  Giant waves/tsunamis.  I have nightmares where I'm on the beach, trapped against the sea wall when a big fucking wave or tsunami is rising up in front of me.

Old timey movies and pictures from the 1910's/1920's.  People were creepy back then.

Lol that sounds about right.

I think it's more about general anxiety about the future, although obviously that involves money for a lot of us. I used to have this dream a lot when I was depressed.

I am very closter phobic. Seriously I will have a freak out in the middle of the night if my tee shirt gets wrapped around me too tight!

Yes! And old pictures where everyone looks super serious and already dead.

I have major anxiety over the possibility of tornadoes and driving across bridges.

Driving up really steep hills. That apex where you can't quite see the road? Ahhhh, it freaks me out. I actually have reoccuring nightmares about it. I am irrationally afraid the car will not make it, roll backwards, flip, etc.

Also, I don't like really open water. Probably because I'm not a strong swimmer.

Me too! I used to have dreams where the road just got steeper and steeper until it was nearly vertical and my car started to slide backwards.

And now I'm itching at my desk because damn lotus seed pods and a flashback from the last time I googled that phobia.

I'm afraid of pictures of icebergs that show what the icebergs look like below the water.  

THIS SHIT FREAKS ME THE FUCK OUT.

I hate heights. Standing too close to a window in a high rise freaks me out.

DH is terrified of needles, this stems from a nurse breaking a needle off in his arm when she was drew blood when he was around 5. Understandable, I guess.

I literally (yes, I really mean it) got dizzy and experienced vertigo reading that.

@missyishere

I hate when the news shows a line of storms creeping towards me.  It's the anticipation of knowing the tornado is coming that freaks me out.

Elevators...I have a fear I will get trapped in there and the phone won't work.

This happened to me on a cruise.  Thankfully I was only trapped for about a minute but that's what I get for being a lazy fuck and using the elevator instead of the stairs for a few floors lol

OMG--I've had nightmares about driving up really steep hills too, just never thought of it until you mentioned it.  I almost hate those dreams more than ones about snakes.

Me too, I almost always flip over backwards too, it's one of my more hated nightmares. 

missyishere

I feel bad for love titting things in here, because I don't like peoples' fears. Add this to my other fear. I fear fear for peoples' fear.

fear of tornadoes is a pretty rational fear where you live.

I hate this too. I start bringing supplies (diapers, water, extra clothes) to the basement just in case.

@Blinkme182 and @elmoali Hell no! I would have freaked out!

Mrs.adambabycakes

Clowns.  Tried to watch the Supernatural episode with the clown the other day and had to stop.

Bugs. Especially big bugs or flying bugs. If it's a big bug that flies then I'm really screwed. I live in Texas and we have those huge roaches here and I have a mini panic attack anytime I see one. And moths too. They freak me out

mydixiewrecked

I afraid of putting my hand in the garbage disposal. I'm afraid it's either going to magically turn on or something oogie boogie is going to grab hold and not let go.

puppets.  not like muppets, but ones like this

futuremrsdelguidice

I have a serious irrational fear of setting my house on fire.. Candles, frying anything.. Anything with a flame scares the shit out of me

thebanich

This bastard that was hanging out outside my backdoor.

mydixiewrecked

@HilarityEnsued like when a cherry tomato pops open and explodes in your mouth?

mydixiewrecked

@HilarityEnsued Sorry about that. I wasn't trying to give you the gags,just trying to understand.

WTF?!?!?!?!! This HAPPENS???? I thought this was an irrational fear of mine from childhood.  Seriously, you just increased my list of fears.  I am dead now.


Apparently! I just hope they make needles from better material these days
:-S

you mean like the welcome sign I have hanging on my front door that I know is there but every time the wind blows really hard and it makes a knocking sound it freaks me out... I'm a wuss.
