a friend and I were just texting each other about irrational fears we have.
my fear is that whenever I turn the lights off in one room to walk to another, like down a dark hallway to my bedroom, that someone is lurking in the shadows ready to stab or shoot me in the back.
i'm 32 and still have this fear. it's so bad that sometimes I walk backwards into my lit bedroom to make sure no one is behind me.
or the fear that someone is in my shower. i'll pull the curtain back to check...but what if someone really WAS back there? i'm instantly killed.
or the fear that something is under my bed. has anyone ever seen Ernest Scared Stupid? (Ernest Goes to Camp is the best "Ernest" movie by the way). this scene forever traumatized me and if I ever need to reach under my bed, i'm convinced there will be a troll and/or murderer waiting when I come back up.
also...I NEVER let my feet hang out off the bed or out of the covers. that would be silly...because what if the monster that is chillin' under my bed decides to tickle my feet...or pull me under. i'm just afraid I would feel SOMETHING and then lose my mind.
do you have any irrational fears?
