Oh wow! I have never in my life known anyone that has this. Heavy suitcases freak me out too. It’s not constant for me - luckily or I’d have been committed lol - but when I get the thought in my head I want to curl up in a ball.
It takes me a while to get the confidence to go deep into the sea but once I do I love it. I don’t think it’s irrational to be scared though, the seas and oceans are dangerous but the joy of it outweighs the fear for me.
i feel incredibly validated by this!
When I was little, doing headstands at playtime, I opened my eyes and looked at the sky, and then felt really scared that I might fall into the sky!
I hate creepy plants, especially those that grow spiral-shaped tendrils that wrap around anything in their way.....urrrgh.The way vines clamber and grow up walls, buildings, streetlights, anything it can get its vineage on! HA IS VINEAGE EVEN A WORD?When I see them completely encasing someones house and their window, it gives me the creeps!!!
I hate trees that have what look like roots growing around the trunk. When I was little I called them "creepy trees"!I hate creepy plants, especially those that grow spiral-shaped tendrils that wrap around anything in their way.....urrrgh.
I've got a houseplant that moves after I've watered it. The leaves will suddenly wave around slightly, like they're stretching out after a sleep? It really freaks me out when I see it
I feel a bit emotional reading this. I really thought I was alone and bonkers. My husband is a builder, he built our extension and loft conversion. I know exactly how houses are constructed, how building regulations and structural engineers ensure that buildings are over engineered to hold weights well above anything you could imagine in a normal household.i feel incredibly validated by this!
ceiling collapse (or any kind of collapse in a house) is my greatest fear. i think i said upthread but a colleague was dealing with subsidence caused by a tree when i was moving into my house. i also had a small water leak from the bath the first week i was there and it consumed me for at least the first year i was there. i’m embarrassed to say how long i spent, in the dark, shining the torch of my phone onto the ceiling so i could identify any new cracks
my dad eventually made me watch a whole seminar on the construction of houses and how unlikely is but whenever my house makes a house noise i’m like “well, this is it”
I also went to another bird place a few years back (why!) and I didn't realise they had geese. Out of 7 of us there, I was the only one they went for and tried to eat my trousers Husband was pissing himself obviously!Same here. Before I go have a shower when I am home alone I check all the doors, windows, and any unexpected noise causes anxiety. I have never been robbed either.
My son has this exact same fear, he describes it in the same way as you.I find the concept of outer space scary - I don't think I can get my head round the back idea of infinity. And it's silent too...
It gives me a weird feeling, like vertigo 🪐
