Help me feel less like a big weirdo, tell me your irrational fear!
Mine is wrists...they creep me the fuck out. If I catch sight of my vein pulsing, it makes me wanna vom 
Also spiders but IMO that’s perfectly rational.
So what’s yours? |

High dark ceilings... Like the inside of a bell tower or somewhere like that.. Where you look up and you can't see the ceiling.. Just black. I've frozen solid a few times in that situation |

I'm more afraid going up. I got on one in Dunnes following parents and their son. He got his lace caught in the treads as he was about to get off. Both parents started stepping backwards down the stairs towards me and I had to do the same. We were all freaking out while the young lad struggled to free his foot from his runner and ended up in a big pile up |

"Mayonnaise
Looonnnggg story !!
Go on, we need entertainment "
feck now I have to spill the beans..
long story short
My sister and I got head lice in primary school and when our grandad found out he had a home remedy to sort it. (this is where everything went horribly wrong)
story ends in both our heads being covered in mayonnaise and fly killer and being left to sit with a shower cap on for an hour 
Hence the freak attack when I see mayonnaise! |

"Most of these are very rational!
Cobwebs give me the serious ick...that crackling noise/sensation when you walk into one "
Maybe don't read this then.... But when I shaved my head for the first time, I realised how many cobwebs we actually walk through every day! When you have hair you don't feel them... But if you are first up in the morning and walk out your door to the car you probably walk through one every day  |

I cant watch someone using a knife to chop things up like vegetables especially if they do it really quickly and use their fingers as a guide
If it's on tv I have been know to close my eyes and cover my ears or just leave the room |

Worst thing was there is a museum for them in the village 1km away from where I used to live in France.
I used to drive by it swearing and giving out every day.

I have a pathological fear of being trapped in a fire, from which I am unable to escape, whether that be a house fire, or a vehicle crash that I am unable to escape from, safely.
I go to extraordinary lengths to plan an escape route, especially where crowds of people are also involved.
The manner in which irrationally behave, in times of crisis terrifies me. |

Needles.
As in the injecting kind.
Watched Christiane F when I was about 15 and it put me off them for life.
I'll be making my kids watch it at same age as you'll likely never inject drugs after watching it at that age 
Not to say I never smoked some now |

Oh! Forgot to mention rats.
Saw an episode of The Avengers, the Purdey and Steel ones
There was aassive rat the size of the sewer tunnels in London eating people.
Hayes them ever since.
Though I do love Remy in Ratatouille |

Holes. Like multiple all conjoined together. I can’t fully explain it but it’s like zoomed in images of strawberry’s, sunflowers or pores. Check out the Trypophobia videos on YouTube for anyone curious. I don’t have a weak stomach but that would make me heave  |

Heights: once brought a nephew to the top of the Empire State building and while he was walking around and looking over the edge, my back was stuck to the shop in the middle and I shuffled around it |

That's mad on the leaving cert thing. I graduated from college back a decade or so ago. I had a lot of stuff going on at the time and stumbled through the final part of the final year and just scraped by my final exams.
But for a good few years after it I'd have nightmares about failing it still, even though I had the degree long in the bag. |

I have an irrational aversion of Dutch women for some inexplicable reason. It doesn't matter how pleasant and they are, after ten minutes of chatting with one I begin to feel nauseous and I need to make my excuses and leave. I dunno if its their physical appearance as most of them tend to be tall blonde or red-haired and a bit shapeless, Or perhaps its their very blunt and matter of fact conversational style that turns me off. Like I said, it's an irrational fear. |

Well for me it's extreme claustrophobia, I think I'm being buried alive. Instructions were given years ago to burn me when the time comes. No funeral, no church, just straight to the crematorium and celebrate my life with a massive party afterwards |

And spiders. |

I don’t have much fear at all really. The closest to a fear is I have always hated failing at anything I attempt. I’ll keep trying until I get the desired results or I’m forced to give up. There have been times where I’ve questioned my sanity and my safety while doing something deadly dangerous. I thankfully have survived all those events unscathed, someday that might run out. The jobs that did bite me, I never saw coming. |
