Do you have any strange fears?

Do you have any strange fears or phobias that have manifested themselves into your daily life?

For example, I'm terrified of some serial killer breaking into my apartment while I'm in the shower and hacking me to death with a knife. That is why 4 out of my 5 shower curtains are clear - I don't want to be taken by surprise. At least I can see him as he approaches.

Strange, I know.

Anyone else have oddities like that?

    (I used to be afraid of the same thing after I saw Psycho for the 1st time haha)

    But now, I'm afraid when I walk my dog at night, like someone is going to rape me or attack, same feeling while riding the subway.

    I also have a HUGE fear of midgets, I know it's not their fault, but I do cry when I see one

  • Yeah, don't think I'm weird or anything but my phobias: I'm scared of clowns and I'm scared of escalators o_0...

    I'm scared that I'm going drop off the escalator

    Like you, I'm also scared that someone is just going to come in my house. I'm really scared that someone is hiding in my wardrobe after I watched When a Stranger Calls, so now before I go to bed I check under my bed and I check my wardrobe and I make sure everything is lock.

    Haha, I'm such a baby!

When I was 4 fell in a hole and was covered with them...When I was 7 I ran through a field and tripped over a dead guy, his whole face was covered in them... That is my one and only phobia in life... just typing this gives me the creeps....eeeeeek
