Weird fears that you have?

[Kitsuragi]

this may be strange but touching hair, when it's not on someones body, absolutely DISGUSTS me and i refuse to clean my brush out without a tool to do so. i physically cannot touch clumps of hair without wretching and i sincerely do not know why. cat fur i have no problem with, but human hair is so disgusting to me that i cant bring myself to clean off my brushes or pick hair off the floor, which SUCKS because me and my bf both have insanely thick hair and shed a LOT. thankfully my bf is understanding and will clean the brush for me but i feel so pathetic over this silly aversion lol.

The TV alert system, y'know, the one with the loud beeping and white text on blue background. Does not help that it happens around the witching hours (2-3am), it's a jump scare every time I'm in the middle of watching something.

THIS FOR ME TOO. every time i get a new phone i completely turn off those emergency alerts and get a different app that has different sounds. like weather alerts, amber alerts, getting those overnight is so terrifying and i get the creepy crawlies and cant fall back asleep. horrifying thing, it does its job effectively

Stretched-out foods and flowers. Either it wasn’t cut right in the factory and was stretched out (two crackers stuck together is ok, but if I found a super long marshmallow I would die lol) or it has a mutation (mainly fasciation) that makes it look that way. Google “fasciated flower” for some tamer examples and “triple kiwi” for an image that gave me some sort of raw primal terror

I'm super afraid of being buried in a coffin and then waking up in there, to the point of making and memorizing plans for that happening. I'm basically used to waking up in the middle of the night checking my mind for the plan
Besides that, which may not be that weird/uncommon, I have a severe fear of balloons, I'm not even able to watch videos with people touching them or walk next to them laying on the floor, it's genuinely terrifying!!

I hate centipedes with a passion. They are so scary!

I used to be very scared of logos, particularly the ones that would come on after TV shows. The weird sound and imagery freaked me out. I would have bad dreams about them constantly. I’m mostly over it now, but a few are still unnerving to me.

Oh I have big time irrational fears. I suffer from very severe medical anxiety so at any point i’m convinced i have some sort of heart problem, cancer, failing organ all kinds of crap. It’s a horrific form of OCD and thankfully im getting treatment for it and am getting better!

I’m also extremely scared, like phobia level fear of cicadas. like i can’t even play animal crossing in the summer because even in game they just gross me out and make me nervous. One time IRL one landed on me and I fainted. If the devil is real then those are definitely his play things. I want them all to die.

i used to have a huge fear of what i thought were ladybugs, turns out what i was seeing were those asian lady beetles and those things bite!

my biggest and strangest fear is probably people. i have severe social anxiety and being around people terrifies me to no end, it's so stupid and embarrassing like... that's my fellow species... brain please work correctly for once! even as a child i was like this, it makes no sense :/

 

[imorileo]

This might be silly, or there might be someone on here with the same fear as me! I hope there is lol so I don't feel embarrassed. (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)

My fear is... Butterflies. I hate butterflies; The prettier they are, the more scared of them I am. I'm not sure where this fear started really, but I always jokingly blame that one episode of Spongebob where a butterfly wrecks havoc in Bikini Bottom. (≖_≖ ) But I'm so sure that that fear started way earlier. Its gotten to the point where people have tried taking me to butterfly sanctuaries and etc, and I've always started shaking with fear. Now, I'm trying to face it a bit more, but I'm completely fine with living far away from butterflies, no matter how pretty. (๑`^´๑)

Arachnophobia is pretty common, so I guess that I can say items that make a loud bang (guns, balloons, etc.) and sink holes. I blame Reddit for the last fear. Sometimes they show articles about sinkholes opening up underneath a building, house or road.

 

[Soigne]

i'm scared of germs and elevators

Not afraid of it anymore, but when I was a kid I used to be terrified of rain. To help overcome my fear, my parents took me down the streets to splash in puddles. Now I love rain so much I would walk out in it simply to enjoy it.

this just gave me new fears... oml that is disgusting lmao

my, maybe weird fear? is murky water, even in a bathtub it makes me soooooo uncomfortable and fearful that something is lurking beneath.

 

[kayleee]

Really steep, narrow stairs is one that comes to mind. I actually have reoccurring nightmares involving super steep stairs where the ceiling keeps getting lower and lower so I can’t keep climbing.

 

[Plume]

I know it's strange, but I can't touch computer paper with recently wet fingers...I can't even explain it and I've only met one other person who shared this trait.

not sure if this counts, but i’m honestly terrified of riding escalators lol. i’m really not sure why since i’ve never had a traumatic experience on one and i actually loved riding them when i was a kid, but now the mere thought of getting on one is enough to paralyze me. i have terrible balance and am not steady on my feet at all, so i think part of me is terrified the escalator’s motion will knock me off my balance and i’ll fall? or something i’m wearing will get stuck in it and that’ll cause me to fall? i also just... don’t like things that move underneath my feet, especially if i’m standing. idk lol.

i’m also terrified of slipping and falling in the shower, to the point that it actually deters me from showering as often as i should. again, my balance is atrocious, and my bathtub can get pretty slippery when it’s wet. i’m practically on the verge of an anxiety attack every time i shower and am always holding onto the wall and moving as little as possible, and getting out of the shower is an absolute nightmare as i’m terrified that i’ll slip while trying to step out and fall.

i’m honestly fearful of a lot of things, but i think these two are definitely my weirdest fears haha.

 

[Bluebellie]

I kind of have a fear of revealing my fears. I feel like it can be used against me, so I don’t tell people.

 

[nightglow]

When I'm at home sitting in my chair, I feel like I am falling if I see someone on tv get close to the edge of a high place like a building. It's worse if they are leaning over..
If it is something insane like a guy running around on the tops of building or >>This<<, I end up flailing my limbs LOL. I CANT WATCH THAT.

I have an unnatural fear of ladders. I have never fallen from a ladder and I don't have a fear of heights, but for some reason I'm always fearful to climb a ladder.
