Hey Pandas, What Is A Weird Fear You Have?

staring at a dim mirror for a while. its actually a thing called the troxler effect, where you start to see things and hallucinate if you stare at a mirror for too long in dim light

Rodents

The fear of republicans
Aka idiotophobia...
And butterflies I'm seriously scared of butterflies

I'm afraid of space for some reason...

Going over big bridges scares me, like the Mackinac Bridge. But what REALLY scares are those acres and acres of giant wind turbines. It's all fun and games until they become self aware and come down and chop everybody up. Mark my words!

Doors that swing toward me. Absolutely terrified of them, like full blown panic attack terror. I cannot open them. If a building has a door that swings toward me to enter and no one is with me I leave. I have a valid reason for this though. A few years ago I was in an old building working and we had to use the stairs. The exit door on the 1st floor was stuck so we were pulling on it for what seemed like ages. When it finally broke free it swung back at me hitting me so hard it broke three vertebrae and herniated the discs in my neck.

Fire, like the idea of sparks burning me or flying past me scares the heck out of me

Ketchup. Someone squirting out the last bits from a squirty bottle, I have to leave the room!

Knee surgeries, or any surgeries on that matter. The back of my knee just starts to hurt whenever I hear or see someone talking about a surgical procedure. Quite ironic cause I aspire to become a physician one day.

On the highway, driving behind a cement mixer, mixing. I’m afraid it’ll get out of balance and spill cement all over the place, resulting (somehow) in my death. The other is driving behind car carriers. I worry that a car will become loose and fall off into traffic.

I have a fear of stepping into an elevator when the doors open. I am worried, I step in and theres no lift, it's just the deep dark elevator shaft and I fall in it.

When I was a child, after watching Jaws, I had a fear of stepping on dark blue carpets. This lasted for about a year.

I’m not afraid of heights but being in a 2+ story mall…I can’t ever stand by the railing. I had this dream one time that I did and I literally just fell over the side. When I stand by it, it feels like i’m leaning over and I hate it

Ok, last time I said this, I got downvoted a lot but someone has to agree with me.

My fear is that Camilo wont be in the next Encanto movie, he is best, I have reasons in my bio for why he is best

Popping balloons! When I see a child playing with a balloon or someone inflating a balloon in the same room, it's extremely stressful and I just panic. I have no idea why I developed this..

holes. I HATE HATE HATE HATE HOLES ESPECIALLY IN PLANTS🤮🤮🤮

Odd numbers.

I don't know why, but I am uneasy and anxious if the TV volume (or anything else) is set to an odd number. There is no rhyme or reason to it and I know it's silly but it's a very real fear.

I am scared to death of butterflies. I know its a pointless fear. I know they are harmless. I went to a butterfly tent when I was 7 years old (pre-butterfly fear) and the next thing I know I was covered in about 100 of them. I've been afraid ever since.

I did get a tattoo of a monarch on my hand and it has actually helped me a little

Stairs/Bridges that don't have VISIBLE supports.

Storm drains. Everything falling into darkness and never coming back.

Drains and grills in swimming pools. Doesn't matter how big they are. Won't swim over them, certainly won't step on them. If the pool has too many, won't even go in. Just don't know what's underneath.
