I've noticed people have the weirdest fears. From fear of spiders to fear of eating alone in a restaurant to fear of clowns passing by fear of slipping in the shower.

These fears are all from friends of mine and i find some of those completely ridiculous.

Which got me thinking what are my fears? Dying, being subject to any kind of physical and violent abuse...which in my mind are normal fears. Most people are scared of being killed or beat up or simply dying. But i don't have any weird fears like clowns or stuff like that.

So, what are you scared of sherdog?

I don't have any irrational fears...although the way you worded your first sentence is quite frightening. :)

Seriously though, there are definitely some weird ones out there. My wife's aunt is scared of midgets and lesbians.
 
A fear of spiders is far from irrational.

I found 3 of those juicy spiders in my room today and that's because it is getting warmer here and that's when they come out to play. And it's not even those ones that are the bad ones, they're not poisonous like the rest of the variety we have here in Victoria.
The latter are life threatening if not treated immediately post bite.

A fear of clowns is probably irrational since you never see clowns unless you seek them out at a circus or something. I've probably seen a clown twice in my life and those events were at birthday parties.


EDIT: I shit you not.. as I left the PC after posting this comment to grab something from another room I saw this mofo on my bed... can't sleep tonight..

these are everywhere.. imagine it chomps at you at night.. what if it laid eggs on my bed...**shudder**

Being in a car driving on the side of a mountain. Otherwise i'm not afraid of heights.
 
House Centipedes... The really fast aggressive ones that have a painful bite and will bow up on you. House Centipedes scare the shit out of me...



Alot of people don't realise they are mildly venomous with a painful bite.
 
I don't really have any however one of my friends has a fear of public transport and urinals.
 
I don't like heights that aren't stable. Looking over a wall on a cliff, not a big deal. Standing on a 6' ladder makes me nervous though.

I also absolutely hate/fear scorpions (a big problem living in AZ)
 
I'm scared of the dark, but not so much the dark as whats in the dark that can't be seen.
 
Heights. Never had that when I was a kid but it developed later in life.
 
I have a fear of growing up.

My closest neighbor just calls me Peter Pan (in very broken Korean accent) because I'm always riding a skateboard, have a kayak or a bike on top of the car, and build snowboard jumps in the road, and crank my JCM800 to 11 nightly.

She doesn't know I'm on sherdog -otherwise she'd know she was right. But I consider being called Peter Pan one of the nicest compliments anyone has every given me -even though she was trying to say that I don't act my age in a mildly negative way.
 
I cannot for the life of me, take a piss standing next to a guy. Individual urinals are fine as long as someone isnt standing close, but those long ones I cannot go. And I get paranoid that people think i'm standing there holding my dick and not pissing. There has been times when I've started pissing, then stopped completely as soon as someone is there, or my piss is so weak I'm pissing like an old guy with a swollen prostate.
Its a constant source of embarrassment for me, to the point I think fuck it and I piss in a closed cubicle.

But I'll piss in the street if im drunk no problems, and I have no problems taking a shit in a public toilet. I just cant pee.
 
I have grown up around all sorts of animals and insects. I'm not squimish when it comes to that category but roaches scare the shit out of me. I can't stand them. If I'm alone and I'm the only one around to kill it, I'll throw something from a distance.
 
Use to be scared to death of flying. But that fear stemmed from being on a plane that had to make an emergency landing with a flight attendent so scared she started crying while talking into the loudspeaker.

people were praying.

It took me a couple years but now I could not be any more comfortable on a plane. And I fly at least 2 dozen times a year.

Maxim magazine did an interview with Steve O and they asked him, what is your proudest accomplishment? He said "Approaching middle age without ever having grown up."
 
A friend of mine is scared shitless (pun intended) of taking a shit anywhere else than his house.

He left my house right before Lesnar vs Carwin was about to start because he had to take a shit. He's a huge Carwin fan and he missed the fight.
 
Actually, i've just realised i DO have an irrational fear hahaha.

I'm scared of being in the water when its dark. Even if i'm in a swimming pool at night, i will be nervous that something could be down there and attack me.
 
Im scared of bees/wasps/hornets. I run and spazz every time I see or hear one.
