What’s your oddest fear?

Fear can be a good thing…it’s that “fight-or-flight” response that keeps us out of harm’s way.

A Reddit stream yesterday asked “What’s an oddly specific fear you have?”

Here’s just some of the responses:

  • “Someone’s hiding under my car and is going to slice my Achilles tendon when I  unlock the door”
  • “I’ll die in the shower and my family will find me naked”
  • “Looking at mirrors in the dark or when I’m alone in the bathroom”
  • “Walking up staircases where the back/space between the stairs is open. It feels like I’m going to slip through”
  • “Ice skating, slipping on the ice and someone accidentally slicing my fingers off”

We ALL have irrational fears…what’s yours?
