What's Your Irrational Fear?

[darthmongoose]

I actually have no idea... and I'm too scared to go look up phobias to find out in case I develop a new one... but I feel like you can make anything into an "official" phobia by just sticking the Greek name of the thing with -"phobia" on the end.

[powerplantanimations]

Stuff coming out of holes does make me throw up. I remember seeing baby frogs coming out of their mother's backs.... that's traumatizing. Car crashes are scary.

I have this one specific fear where I hate when women I find attractive get killed out of nowhere. Specifically calm, quiet women who BARELY say a word in movies (if they have glasses, I'll probably freak out more). I jump when they get the most brutal deaths. I guess GTA V (where the lawyer lady accidentally gets herself sliced up in the jet engine, turning into a red cloud) and Akira (Tetsuo's girlfriend being popped like a pimple) messed me up as a kid. Boondocks even had that scene where Luna blew herself up in the car... although I'm starting to detect a pattern with these characters used for the writer to say stuff like "hang around with dangerous men and you'll suffer an equally ugly fate no matter who you are".

Also.... woodchippers... and this fear where tall people accidentally get their heads chopped off by helicopters. And jet engines. Anything with spinning blades is a no-go.

I was going to say demons, but I actually think I'd place that in the rational fear department because with stuff you don't understand, you gotta be on your toes with that kinda stuff. :T

Ghosts I don't find scary though.

Heh looks like u got a phobia for phobias.

As for me, leeches/lamprey, maggots.
I mean this is for stick figure isekai so I'll also throw in animorphs, I only read the opening chapter of one of their books but it was talking about how if they stay as animals too long they can't change back and that these children can be infected by the aliens during transformation and have their bodies change into that of an alien. That legitimately gave me one of my worst ever nightmares when every time I felt my heartbeat my body warped further into something unhuman. I was like 10.

You could take this a goofy way -D read animorphs once and was terrified of becoming the middle transformation- or in a very very bad way, like the enigma of amigara fault.

Heh looks like u got a phobia for phobias.

"The only thing I'm afraid of... is fear itself..."

-Something I'd never say because I'm not that cool. I'm unfortunately just constantly anxious and afraid of literally everything. As a kid, I was scared of an episode of Thomas the Tank Engine, I was scared of the ghosts in the game Alex Kidd in Miracle World, I was scared of a vampire I imagined lived under the stairs...

Anarchy. I think.
And the need to put 20 characters in a comment.

When I was like ten, I had a fear of spontaneous combustion. Idk haha. I was afraid that I would suddenly burst into flames and leave behind a pile of ashes and no one would ever know what happened to me.

[LostKelp]

Tomas the tank engine is terrifying, his mouth is the perfect height to just eat a person. Also the animation? horror magnified.

[DiegoPalacios]

That deer from Adventure time even scares some adults.......

[powerplantanimations]

I think I was scared of Diesel from the Thomas the Train movie. The one train with the claw on it. Also it's funny you mentioned the ghosts from Alex Kidd because the ghost from Sonic Adventure 2 creeped me out; although I find it funny now.

@LostKelp I dunno why I was creeped out by the Muppets and Jim Henson stuff but NOT Thomas the Train or talking vehicles. I was obsessed with that when I was a kid.

You know what is another irrational fear I have?

Everytime I open the microwave I’m afraid it will explode and I don’t know why!

[powerplantanimations]

I'm afraid of my dog or cat walking into it.

Here's my irrational fear:

1. Failure

The fear where all my efforts to achieve my dreams failed so many times. For example, when I was a teenager I used to dream on wanting to be like other smart students in school where they get 'A' in all subject. Despite that I'm NOT good at studies ( which I didn't realized on that time ), I still tried so hard and pressure myself into studies just to be like those smart students. However, I only get 1 A but the rest is B, C and D's in all my subject, and no matter how hard I tried, the results are always the same. It was frustrating.

I remembered the time when I was teenager. The female teacher asked everyone to read the questions with the answer they choose so she will tell them if it's correct or wrong, and when I answered the question with my answer my teacher got irritated on me that I kept getting the wrong answer all the time and the other student were laughing at me for every wrong answer I chose. This happens for 2 years tbh and I was hurt that I couldn't get correct like others.

2. Height

For real, heights really gave me phobia.

3. Being in crowded place

Due to my autism and my introvert personality, being in crowded area makes my fear worst. Introvert person like me likes to be peaceful and quiet and be alone, but don't do well in social areas.

4. Situation unexpectedly goes wrong

[XiuLyn_12]

The first thing that came to mind is that I'm afraid of getting caught (cheating, being sneaky, etc.). This is why I typically do not cheat on my school tests, even though I sometimes wish I could (Don't do it, kids, it's better to study).

[powerplantanimations]

Unrelated, I remember cheating on this smart girl's paper in the fifth grade and the teacher yelled at her for it (which was odd since she had it out for me and thought the girl was the class icon)... felt really bad about it.....

Buuut... that said I've learned some crazier cheating tricks since :v

OOOOOH there should be a webcomic about cheating on tests. Give people a reason to read it. Not just for the plot :v :v

(I'M CALLING THE IDEA. NO ONE STEAL)

[XiuLyn_12]

Since I gave you the idea first, we gotta collab now!!

On side note, if I go back in time, I still don't think I can cheat fml..

[aprilferrero]

People, thunder, rubber bands and balloons.

[Wingstofly]

Mine is an extreme fear of lizards

[powerplantanimations]

Heeeeeeeeeeeey. I'd actually be down for that if you're interested.

[Emalie]

I have an irrational fear of a certain breed of dog, the Great Dane, because as a child I knew one when an uncle bought him for his son, he was so much taller than me and he looked so intimidating!

Well, I was about 5 years old, but I remember it very well. I keep avoiding them, what's more, a neighbor has three of these animals. It's not their fault, it's me.

[XiuLyn_12]

Hahah! If the time and opportunity came up, I would love to!
