Fusion X. Denver Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I have this fear that I'm constantly being judged, though I think that might just be overblown anxiety. In which case, I have a bit of an irrational fear of flying animals: birds, insects, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cierfrost Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Tenta, please do not spam. Anyway, as I've mentioned in the old phobia thread, I have an irrational fear of anything infinite or limitless, though the fear usually came when I'm overthinking them. That aside, I also fear forgetting to lock my things whenever I leave them alone, often checking them back just to check that they're still around and locked. Algebra must terrify you then.

Maeriberii Haan Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Algebra must terrify you then. Not that much, at least in algebra I can think of them as merely symbols and numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Girl Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I have a fear of bugs, especially spiders! I am also afraid of vaccine needles and blood test needles! If I see one, I cry and freak out! Sometimes, I'm also afraid of heights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goddamnit names are a pain Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I just remembered another one. Underwater bosses/areas in video games. Not cheesy 2D games, more like… Shadow of the Colossus. The large basis of this fear. I can't name much else that's done it, but Metroid Prime is the closest thing to it. It's pretty at times, sure…but when you walk down a bridge to a huge tower on a lake that spans pretttttty far and you see that your sword is glowing in that direction….man, it was spooky that first time. And then the cutscene triggers and I'm like NOPE Then I proceeded to play it more recently (and repeatedly) which did start to alleviate that small fear. lol maybe even the Water Temple in Ocarina of TIme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Fire Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I hadn't forgotten this, but at the time of my first post here, I hadn't really thought of this as an irrational fear. I am afraid of drowning, after nearly doing so as a kid. So is it really irrational or nah? I personally think it's reasonable to fear drowning after nearly having done so as an impressionable young kid, but considering it now... eh. I also get really antsy when I'm being corrected by someone. It's not anxiety at being wrong, because when I take tests and shit I'm fine, but when a peer is looking over my work, I get really antsy and filled up with the nervous energy over the fact that (I think at least) they might find fault with what I've done. But if that is something I fear, why doesn't it affect me while taking tests? Maybe I'm just weird. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerer Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I also get really antsy when I'm being corrected by someone. It's not anxiety at being wrong, because when I take tests and s*** I'm fine, but when a peer is looking over my work, I get really antsy and filled up with the nervous energy over the fact that (I think at least) they might find fault with what I've done. But if that is something I fear, why doesn't it affect me while taking tests? Maybe I'm just weird. I don't know. Do you happen to get antsy when someone critiques a ygo card of yours? As for me, I tend to fear things that I can't wrap my head around. For example, take the number one million. One million is a thousand thousands. Count to one thousand, go ahead, I'll wait. ... ... ... Now imagine for every ONE digit, you had to count to a thousand! Ugh... It just makes me shiver thinking about it... Googolplex and infinity and the universe also stir up fear in me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Fire Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Do you happen to get antsy when someone critiques a ygo card of yours? A little bit, yeah. Not as bad, but still... Maybe it is just situational anxiety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I suppose it fits here actually. But Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Always get anxiety over everything. So I suppose, in a way, I have an irrational fear of basically everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cierfrost Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 You would lovvvvvve dead space. I cringe so hard. I average 1 eye exam every 5-10 days yearly. Those scenes were just another day in my life for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peridank Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I have no idea wtf is irrational anymore so here is a small list of me being a pussy 1) Computer Virus', ya... My heart went to my ass sling shot to my mouth and I proceeded to choke on it for that FBI virus thing. I. Don't. Like. Them. The fear is really me being messed with in any personal way thru the internet as in tracking IP address, learning info... Hacking me etc. 2) Bugs on my head, never... And I mean never, have I been scared of a spider or ant... But the moment they even get close to my head... Well I freak... I can't deal with the thought of being the host of some fucking parasite it them doing something in my hair... Or even proceeding to bite/sting my head... Really... Anything they could do up there. 3) Smile.jpg, you heard me... A fuckin creepypasta. Its the concept that scares me the most... Only one look and you could be doomed to suicide. Ya... Not to mention everything in between... Hell no... Leave me the fuck alone on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Balloons, cause they're fucking loud when they pop. Bees, moreso from them buzzing by my ear than their stingers. Open windows, cause if I see someone looking at me outside, I'm gonna lose my shit. Paper edges, mainly when they're close to my eyes. If you're gonna move paper around, keep it at chest level, please. Large objects in the sky. I had an airplane fly like fucking 10 feet over a hotel we stayed at when I was younger. Traumatized me for life. Heights without a harness, cause I'm always scared that the floor beneath me is gonna just vanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I see one, I cry and freak out! Sometimes, I'm also afraid of heights! You would love being diabetic. Open windows, cause if I see someone looking at me outside, I'm gonna lose my s***. Heights without a harness, cause I'm always scared that the floor beneath me is gonna just vanish. The paranoid bit of me agrees with you. I don't fear heights so much as falling. I used to have nightmares in which the floor would vanish below me and I'd fall and fall and fall... and then I'd wake up scared shitless. Also a thought: If you wake up naturally from a nightmare in which you are in a situation in which you would die, it's because you did die. Yeah. I believe in the whole alternate realities thing. You literally just experienced another version of yourself dying. This one time I had a weird dream. I was at a birthday party and there were snakes, I assume as a present to someone. One was a rattlesnake, I think. Well guess what. One of them attacked me and bit me. I woke up on the spot and had a pain in my neck where the thing bit me.

Makο Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Dunno if you can even call it a fear, but I really don't like using the restroom when others are around. I feel like they're gonna judge me on how loud it is or how much comes out, or try and startle me. It's funny because it all originated a few years ago when I was using the urinal as per usual, and a bunch of rowdy guys almost literally burst through the door, laughing and yelling to each other. I flinched so hard my stream was cut off abruptly. Stung like hell, still haven't gotten over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, even hearing footsteps in the hallways or sounds in the other adjacent restroom is enough to not take a piss. Even the fear of someone coming in. I mean, what gives?

Fusion X. Denver Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I actually have that too. Though I can go just fine in a stall. But if I'm at the urinal, suddenly it all closes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
