I'm extremely scared of spiders, but that's hardly an irrational fear. I also hate people touching me in the neck! I get really pissed off and start yelling if people do that to me unexpected, when I know they're going to do it I don't start yelling but I still hate it. And I'm scared of fire! I get really nervous and agitated if someone is playing with a lighter around me, and I'm petrified of using the Bunsen Burner during chemistry or biology at school. I always make my lab partner do it while I stand at AT LEAST 1 metre distance.
DUDE, when I'm driving home, if a car stays behind me for more than a block or so, I start to freak out that they're following me home. I've even driven past my house before because I didn't want them to know where I lived when it turns out they weren't following me after all, just trying to go home, too. I'm also scared of moths, the dark (like SERIOUSLY scared. I have mild panic attacks going from my room to the bathroom across the hall at night), and water that I can't see the bottom of. I used to be scared of toilets, too, because I thought a crab lived in the u-bend and that it would come out and pinch me when I sat down...I don't know where that one came from... And there's more where all this came from. My old roommate used to tease me because I was scared of more things than anyone he had ever met, and none of them even made sense.
Even though I have a fear of needles, I'm giving blood at school tomorrow. Hopefully I don't freak out.
Aww, dude, I'm terrified of needles, and the veins in my arms are tiiiiiiny, so it was horrible getting stuck when I donated blood.....just don't watch when they're taking everything out and ask them to cover it up after you've gotten stuck, that's what I always did, and I kept my panicking to a minimum.
I actually had a nurse physically turn my head away because it was making her nervous that I was watching her put the iv in...She said she had had too many people faint on her. I love when I give blood watching the blood run through the tube all loopty loop to the bag then watching the bag fill. Again, I had a nurse who told me to stop leaning over to look at the bag because she was afraid I was going ot faint. I guess I am not afraid of needles or blood.
