Hey Pandas, What's An Odd Fear That You Have? (Closed)

Crowds. Crowds of people bumping up against me and so much noise from all the people. I don't like it. I get anxious and start to have a panic attack. Then I have to find a way out and away from all the people.

Going under anestisea.. i could be "sleep" and be in intense pain and youd never know until i wake up and slap u silly

😔terrifying

I am afraid of fish. (Unfortunately, I found this out when I entered university to study Marine Biology.) While some people are afraid of snakes (no problem with nope ropes here!), spiders (just catch them in a jar and put them outside), or mice (get a cat!) -- fish are truly terrifying! They really are slimy. That flopping around they do when you pull them from the water. Most of them have very sharp teeth or spines, which they intend to use to stab you. They smell disgusting.

Just all around a big NOPE.

Climbing safety equipment. If I don’t have it I will climb up anything, but if I have it I can’t seem to do anything

Balloons and glass

Other peoples spit and old food. It makes me so light headed when I have to wash the dishes. But I can bathrooms and take out the trash just fine.

My strangest natural fear is horses- I know that they won't hurt me and theyre pretty cool anyways, but they just scare me. They're just too big idk

My actual weirdest fear is glass, specifically flat panes of glass such as windows. It only triggers when I'm touching them, especially with my left palm flat against the glass. That's mostly due to 11 hours in the ER on my 13th birthday. Not the most fun of experiences

(tw, self harm mentioned )Quora. Long story. I left my phone with my parents by accident and I was getting loads of notifications. So my mum went into my phone and put it on silent. The page it opened up onto was a quora page on how to stop self harm. She told me never to go on there again, and got me to talk to the school counsellor who is useless. Now every time I see quora mentioned somewhere I immediately have to shut down whatever app I'm on so I don't have a panic attack. Thanks mum

Escalators. I got caught in one when ib was 3 and would have been seriously injured had a stranger not happened to see my foot getting pulled into it and got my foot out of my shoe then it may have turned out worse. Since then i've been afraid of escalators. Apparently 4 people die from escalator accidemts every year- more than that of sharks so... maybe it's not as unfounded as it sounds.

Porcelain dolls, I had some in my room and I’m 99% sure they were haunted by an evil presence, because they actually gave me nightmares, but the moment they were gone, I didn’t have any more nightmares. One of my nightmares involved one falling on me and attacking me, and its teeth were razor sharp, and it bit me, and I flung it off of me and it broke, but it still attacked me even though it was broken, it was bleeding for some reason and it made a blood curdling screech, and then it finally died, and the bite mark made me turn into a porcelain doll.

I’m scared of having someone i trust suddenly betraying/ ganging up on me. Also, I always am scared if the words I’m saying to someone are gonna be my last to them, so I rarely leave on a fight or something I didn’t wanna say. I know I know they sound regular, but I’ve never heard of someone having these fears.

robot voices. usually if it's a human based voice, like siri or that one tiktok voice, it's fine. but voicemails? nope. that lockdown drill dude? heck no. ever since i was little i've been scared of those voices. they give me an anxiety attack almost every time. and included in this is that radio weather alert sound and the amber alert sound. i've never met anyone else except my ex that has this fear

I am deathly afraid of elevators. They scare me. I always always take the stairs. I'm afraid it will break down.

Mimes! Those silent f***ers are just creepy. I have ADHD and talk alot. So someone completely silent is unnatural to me

Balloons

Creepy dolls, the movie Smile, The movie old, reality, myself, dying, being alone, that squirrel girl is somehow the most powerful superhero in marvel, being embarrassed, falling, heights, a few others but that’s all I can think of rn..

Animated talking animals bother me hugely. I avoid Disney films and cartoons, and those Charmin toilet paper commercials with the bears who sing about peeing and their bums are the absolute WORST. Weirdly, Muppets and Fraggles are perfectly fine.

Popping balloons.
Everytime I see an unattended ballon or a child playing with one I get extremely anxious. Once my husband tried to tease me by squeezing a ballon at a party and began to cry as if he was torturing me.
Doesn't work with foil ballons though.

I'm afraid of dolls. As a child, I had a nightmare that a rag doll I received as a gift tried to suffocate me. I put the doll in a cardboard box and put a lot of tape around it. I was still so scared that I threw it in the trash. Now I'm kind of scared of the Kardashian clan. I saw a nightmare where Kim took off her skin and there was a Terminator type robot underneath. Also, I have never been able to sleep in a room with a mirror, I have to cover it.

geckos and escalators that go down. when i was seven i fell down the latter. NEVER AGAIN.
