I thought that I would have the most random fear but I can’t compete with that
I am afraid of being hit by a carelessly wielded umbrella. Living in the Vancouver area, I am more convinced that my demise will come about from an umbrella spike through the eye or ear than from the often predicted earthquake.
This!
I absolutely cannot watch anything on TV or a movie that has a scene or storyline like this…
A friend told me about a book she read where a killer had abducted a girl. The killer drugged her and when she woke up, she was wrapped from head to toe like a mummy, arms wrapped tightly to her sides, legs bound tightly together, her head completely wrapped also except for a small hole to breathe through. When my friend was describing this, my heart started pounding and I had to tell her to “Stop! I don’t want to hear anymore!”
Just seeing or hearing about anything like this makes my heart start pounding and I get very nervous… Like now.
Another irrational fear I have: talking to people on the phone. Well, maybe more of an anxiety than a fear.
I’d say I have an irrational fear of thunderstorms, but I count that more as a rational fear. Well, if I’m outside in them, anyway.
I have an irrational fear that I will lose a limb or my sight. That’s why I always read new developments in prosthetics.
I am really happy with the latest developments. The thought comforts me that when I lose a limb there will be adequate replacements.
When I was five or six, I briefly had an irrational fear that my head would fall off.
