Fear

AllAboutTheBenjamin

So what stuff are you afraid of that you shouldn't necessarily be afraid of, and what stuff doesn't worry you that should?

I am scared to death of getting cancer.  Even though there isn't much of it in my family, I think about it way too much.  I imagine myself going through treatments, losing my hair, being sick, possibly dying.  It is just ridiculous that I think about this so much.

I'm also kind of a paranoid person sometimes.  If I'm flying in an airplane, I always imagine it crashing.  If I'm driving in my car on the interstate, I imagine the tires falling off or a semi hitting me or something else terrible.

Then again, I'm not afraid of things like rollercoasters - i could ride them all day.  I'd also love to try bungee jumping.

I'm also not afraid of being attacked by an assailant.  Any creeper who tries that shiit with me has another thing coming.

I'm late on this too, I have irrational fears.
I sometimes get scared about dying (if it will be painful/when in my life). Another one is sometimes I worry that I'll become an old lady and my kids won't take care of me and I'll slowly lose it. Ugh that's so depressing to me. It would be perfect if my life ended like the elderly couple in the notebook. I would feel so blessed.

So this thread got me looking at phobias. I think this one might be my favorite. I apologize if it's one that anyone has, but here's the name and what it is:

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia- Fear of long words

Irony, anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I'm scared to death of eye surgery. I will never be able to do lasik or any procedure where something get stuck into your eye.

LOL I swear I remember reading about that once. I had a daydream in my head of some kid saying his fear (it would be hippopopo) and whilst in the middle of saying that, puking everywhere from getting so nervous talking about it. Vicious cycle I tell ya.

I laugh at that one constantly. I feel bad for people who have it but seriously, way to be a jerk phobia word maker.

OMG I do this too- I always look for them. I have no idea where this came from.

I am also terrified of chewing gum. I have nightmares about it getting stuck in my throat, or that it gets stuck to me teeth and pulls them out.

I am insane!!!
