Fears and phobias

I think that everyone has something that they’re scared of. Fears and phobias that make them a little weak at the knees or feel all funny.  What are you afraid of? Do you have any fears and phobias.  Here are mine:

Moths

Like most fears and phobias, there is no logical reason for this one.  To be honest I can understand why people don’t like spiders or snakes, they look scary, even though neither are one of my phobias.  But moths? Yes, that is a bit odd.  I really don’t like them though, their big hairy bodies, the way that they flutter and fly at you when it’s dark.  Uggghhhhh. Completely irrational I know, but when it comes to fears and phobias moths have to be up there. I’m not sure what I think they’ll do, but I am sure that no good will come of a moth in my room.

Space

I don’t suppose that most people would expect space to come up when you’re talking about fears and phobias, but yes, I do have a problem with it.  The problem here though is that it’s the idea of space that I don’t like, the fact that it goes on and on for ever. How can that be possible?? And if it’s not possible and there’s something at the end of it, what is it and what’s after that? I think really this fear and phobia comes from fear of the unknown, I don’t really understand it, we don’t really know a lot about it, and so it frightens me. That’s as many details as you’re getting though, if I think too much I won’t sleep tonight.

Having said that, I do like the look of a star filled sky, as long as I don’t think about it too much, which is why I can be scared of space, but still think creating a cloth nappy inspired by the night sky is a good idea.

What frightens you? Do you have any odd fears and phobias?
