Just out of curiosity is there anyone on here who has, or know anyone who has, what might be considered a "weird," abnormal or straight up irrational fear? I'm not talking snakes or spiders but things like globophobia, a fear of balloons. What are they and where do you think they came from?

I have a fear of whales. Watching video of them swimming in the ocean is pretty scary, and I can't watch for too long. The weird part is I didn't used to be, and I have no clue what triggered it, and when. And I'm not afraid of sharks (well, of course I would be if I was swimming with a hungry one, but watching them is just fine with me).
I love to make mashups! Click to hear them!
I also love taking pictures! Click to see them!
I love to play drums, too! Click to rock!

hey a giant creature that can swallow you whole. That's a healthy thing to avoid I would think.

edit: mods took care of it.

I have a fear that I will die by driving my car off a bridge and wind up stuck underwater while staying conscious the whole time until I drown. It's a recurring nightmare that I've had for years.

I wonder if it's possible that we develop those fears because they're ways we've died in past lives ? If you believe our soul passes from body to body over time. I'm open to the possibility, but I'm far from convinced. Just a what if.

Funny you should mention it, my friend actually IS afraid of balloons. It's his only fear, or so he says.

Me? I'm afraid of horses, but only if I'm within 5 or so feet.

I knew someone who was afraid of balloons. Downright terrified of them.
I don't know that you'd call it some much a fear, but I can't touch cotton balls. The very thought of doing so sends shivers down my spine.
I also will not eat fruit that is not in fruit from. Just can't do it.

I'm afraid of not making the turn correctly on a highway curve and getting into an accident.  This doesn't stop me from driving.  I am also afraid to fly in an airplane, but I do that too.

LOL pregnant women used to creep me out until I became pregnant.

As far as fears, I'm scared of balloons, but only if people are touching or squeezing them near me.  Also, the biscuit containers that pop when you open them.   :blush:

I'm just terrified of pregnancy. If I could get pregnant and did, I'd just die. If I ever got a chick pregnant, well that would be the end of me. I wouldn't be able to be around her and she'd hate me for it, but it's a fear, not me being a jerk.

Those things always startle me, even when I know they are going to pop open.

I'm not sure if you meant it like I thought you did but I think Ratte was refering to the two completely unrelated things in my post.  Not like the kids popping out, lol.  You gave me a good laugh though!  :w00t:
