Everyone is afraid of something. There are common fears, i.e. sharks and poisonous spiders and motherfucking sharks, and there are the less common fears that lay in wait in our subconscious and come out only in dreams. From the most hypochondriac shivering nerd to the toughest modern-day bar viking, everyone has one random irrational fear that will rarely be encountered in real life, but will gently caress them up nonetheless. My neck feels very vulnerable...it's like I have a constant fear of it being slit or punctured. I went out to see Sweeny todd without knowing what it was about and I basically closed my eyes throughout half the movie cause I was getting more and more squeamish to the point of walking out of the theater. So Digital Point, what are your ridiculous, illogical, and rarely encountered fears?
You ever notice that everything kind of happens around protecting yourself from your fear? I bet you hold your neck when you see a wasp. That's why I let myself think I don't have fears. But for a long time mine was the fear of losing teeth.
I'm nervous around my neck as well. If I play Halo for a while and then go downstairs at night, I will feel like snipers are waiting outside, so I will usually try to avoid the windows.
Being a nothing. I don't need to be remembered, but I'm afraid of being the guy on the street. Funnier and probably what you are looking for: When I was a kid I used to be afraid to flush the toilet. For some reason I thought a monster would pop out from under the sink when he heard the flush cause he knew I was walking out the door. That really pissed off my family.
