    Smiley Weird / Irrational things you're afraid of

    cmon i know im not alone.... or at least i hope so

    heres my list:

    - leeches [seriously if theres one on/near me i have a fucking panic attack and pass out]
    - full moon [its like foreboding of drunken brawls and at least one unpleasant incident i will get dragged into]
    - tunnels and other claustrophobia inducing spaces [especially the underwater one i dont know why cab drivers always prefer to take me that way]
    - mirrors and windows at night [just freaky]

    thats all i could think of now

    YOUR TURN
    FUCK YEAH finally retired after 6 years dancing!!

    Growing old, its inevitable I know but it worries me. Ie.

    1. Losing my looks, I am not saying I am a babe lol but getting wrinkles/saggy skin/gray hair or worse losing my hair/etc its some bad sauce.

    2. Losing my Independence, last thing I want to become is a old man in diapers at the home and or a vegetable.

    3. Not being able to do the things I love such as cars and driving, partaking in relaxation sessions, and did I mention driving? (I rack up 30K+ miles a year in just cruising around)

    4. Not being attractive to the opposite sex.

    5. Being discriminated against and treated badly because I am just an old man/burden.

    *Thats my irrational fear, btw I am 25. *sigh*

    Oh and mermaids. They are beautiful as depicted but that tail scares me...I am not a water person. I dont being in the ocean let alone a pool and plus I cant swim. For some reason the times I was in the pool and at the beach I associate water with sea serpents and mermaids. I am cool taking showers, thats the kind of water I love. But to be in a pool/lake/ocean etc. Oh hell no.

    Needles. Pictures of needles. Talking about needles. Not sewing needles but syringes. Especially the ones with the orange cap.

    Old age and dying. I cannot picture myself as older than I am and it scares the hell out of me. And dying because I cannot fathom no longer being alive.

    Being fat.

    Being in the ocean close to huge ships.

    Used to be afraid of cats but i overcame that one.

    Centipedes. I had an encounter with a 14in long one with a red head in Austin. I FUCKING HATE THEM SO MUCH. I can hardly look at pictures of them. Two weeks ago we went to see my brother. We all went mini putting. My brother found a centipede, put it on a stick AND SHOWED IT TO ME. I screamed, ran behind my husband and used him as a human shield. The offending centipede was maybe an inch long. My husband and brother laughed til they cried.

    RACCOONS. They are vicious and full of fucking diseases. I HATE THEM.

    Swimming in murky water i.e. lakes/rivers creeps me out etc. The fact that there may be a body lurking in the water is always a the back of my mind.

    I had spinal surgery the summer after my freshman year of college, and for quite some time, I never liked the sound of someone cracking a lobster shell open. I'm okay with it now, but back then it kind of freaked me out. (So obviously, I couldn't watch that Seinfeld episode where Jerry dates Man Hands.)


    This isn't really a fear, but if there's a sharp knife on the table, I don't like the sharp point of the blade facing me.

    Piercings. I'm fine with tattoos, but for some reason the idea of getting a piercing just freaks me out. (I guess they remind me too much of injections, or something.)

    ...you won't be going to the deep south of Australia anytime soon lol-so there's no need for you to worry! I doubt that there would be any in the inner city or suberbs .

    Caterpillers - just creep me the fuck out. I mean, come on ... I dare someone to google it and tell me they're not absolutely disgusting and creepy looking. Butterflies creep me out too but it's in the same category.

    Beetles - When I was little I lifted up a trashcan in my grandma's yard and there were at least 10 beetles crawling around under it. Ever since, I've had a massive fear of them.

    The dark - not really weird, I guess, but if someone turns the light off when I'm in a room by myself, I'll go into hysterics until they turn it back on. I only feel safe in the dark if someones with me or if I'm under the covers, and even then, I'm still scared.

    Standing next to my bed in the dark - Thanks to an Are You Afraid of the Dark episode when I was like 10.

    Hospitals - Many reasons.

    Odd numbers - Just because I'm weird.

    Definitely this.

    Just googled leeches. You're right, they are creepy.

    -Unclear pathways in an apartment/home. Like, if there is a piece of paper on the floor in the kitchen, I need to pick it up before I go to bed, because WHAT IF a murderer breaks into my house in the middle of the night and I'm running away but I get caught and die because I slip on that piece of paper? Or trip on something? I don't care if all the shit in the room is cluttered messily to the sides of the room, but I need open middle paths to escape from dangerous situations quickly...

    -Someone breaking in while I'm in the shower. I freak out if there's not a lock on the bathroom door.

    -Being haunted by a demon - like in Paranormal Activity.

    Basically anything involving bad people/things coming after me and not being in a position where I can defend myself.
    Don't try to win over the haters. You are not the Jerk Whisperer.

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

    having my back to a dark space, like turning off a light and walking out of the room.. it just feels super creepy to me. I shut the door quickly and jet out of there every single time.

    I am fucking terrified of roaches. The first time my SO went out with his friends and I stayed home alone in our apartment, a huge fucking roach showed up out of nowhere. I tossed my cat towards it hoping he'd defend me, but the little bastard ran back and hid behind me. The roach crawled in a closet, but there was no way in hell I could fall asleep with it on the loose, so I had to take a shot of vodka, pull everything out of the closet, and beat it to death with a shoe. Once it was thoroughly dead, my cat pounced -.-

    Bed directly in front of the doorway
    Mirror directly in front of bed
    Whistling at night
    The dark
    When I'm not using my wig, and I want to air it out, I'm always scrunching it up somewhere so I don't see it when I'm going to bed. It freaks me out, cos it looked like someone's head is on my dressing table
    & When something very loud is on (eg vacuum, hair dryer) and I'm all alone, I'm always thinking/imagining/hearing someone is yelling at me or talking to me. & I'll always turn off what I'm using for a second or two.

    i used to just be uncomfortable with it until i read apparently it is bad fend shui to have the foot of the bed facing directly a doorway as thats how they used to store/carry corpses out in the 14th century. does that make it worse? im a tad drunk i thought it would be good trivia....
    now im just really anal about the way the bed is facing...even if it means wasting space in a tiny bedroom

    ^ yes that's it. My mum just passed on most of these beliefs to me, and I stuck to it.
    She's very superstitious.
    like that one about not opening your umbrella in the house, actually, not having your umbrella open when you're coming into your house from outside.

    There's a lot more but the list goes on lol

    I am absolutely terrified of spiders. Common fear, but I kinda take it to the next level lol.

    Im also freaked out by mirrors at night. I used to have a big mirror in my bedroom at my desk that Id do my makeup at and every night I would cover it with my robe.
