Hey, all!
Writing about your personal phobia(s) may not only help you, but can also help others who read what you have to say. No phobia is too weird or far out. After all, phobias are UNreasonable fears. They are suppose to be strange.
You would imagine that I have heard some unusual ones and you would be correct. Fear of cheese.
Fear of marshmallows. Fear of red cars. Fear of hair. Fear of sneakers. I have heard them all.
On a more personal note, I have had severe claustrophobia since childhood. That's so common, though. How about a raging fear of weeds? Yep, I have that. The neighborhood kids got wise to that really quickly when I was growing up and would chase me with them. When we were children, my sister would call herself "the witch of the weeds" and hide weeds everywhere in order to scare me. Great sister, eh?
My best friends wife is afraid of clowns, crosswalks, white paint, and mayonnaise.
So, what are you afraid of for absolutely no rational reason whatsoever? Are you seeking treatment (progressive desensitization, cognitive therapy, medication, other?), or are you just living with it? Care to share? Thanks
