Strange phobia you have

I used to own birds and had two friends with the same fear. I was surprised at first, but then very respectful when they came over, making sure the birds were caged. One of my friends would randomly get wild birds flying at her. Like they knew she was afraid! She told me and I didn't believe her until I saw it happen! Crazy.

Omg that would be totally awful. Luckily birds usually avoid me :p
 
Mine are only periodic and after reading this and thinking about it mine are probably not that common ether. One I have kind of gotten over, it was caused by two dreams I had when I was a kid, they both involved barns and weird little people looking monster things with glowing eyes poring out of them when I went through the door, and that is why I don't go in to barns at night, for the potential of them coming for me. The other only every now and then, is I feel like a sniper is going to shoot me from some where, I don't care if mom says there are no snipers, that doesn't mean they could not be there.
 
Since I was bitten by the copperhead I have been truly afraid of being in the tall grass (or of Action Hank being there either) unless wearing tall boots. To the point I was panicking (I admit this with great embarrassment). The fear was so bad I was looking for snakes to bite me in illogical places, such as on the shelf at a grocery store or such. I would pick things off the ground with trepidation, steeling myself to be bitten again. Gladly, I realize my fears are irrational. Yes, snakes are a danger here, but they aren't everywhere. I just have to get over the whole thing.

It certainly makes me understand the old saying "Once bitten twice shy" far more intimately than I ever cared to.
 
Glitches in a video game unnerve me in a way nothing else can. Is this how fictional characters feel when a reality warper is warping reality?

I'd be creeped out by a dream like that too.
 
I'm terrified that if I put anything on the walls above my bed it will fall on my head in my sleep.

I used to live in a high earthquake area, but nothing ever happened and now I'm more likely to have a tree fall on me.
 
I have a strange fear of the mail and freaking out when something does not show up when I think it should. Its a nerve thing.
 
I'm afraid of being forgotten, things I can't explain, disease outbreaks, being judged by others, infections and the threat of nuclear war.

Needles and clowns make me nervous sometimes and I can't stand being around things like honeycombs or anything that has lots of little holes clustered together. It makes me nauseous and I feel like something is going to pop out at attack me.
