See you then!
END LIVESTREAM UPDATE!
There are many things in my life that I’m laid back about. I don’t freak out while driving, getting stuck on the subway doesn’t bother me too much, I don’t worry about getting hit by buses, or getting stabbed in an alleyway, etc.
What does freak me out, however, is lightning. I don’t mean that I fear getting struck by it, getting caught without shelter in a storm, being frightened by the sound of thunder, or any of the fears associated with lightning.
I mean that the moment I think there might be lightning nearby, I immediately power off and unplug all of my electronics… even the stuff connected to my surge protector, and even though my landlord is an electrician and probably has our building super safely wired.
There have been times when I’ve called Jackie while away from home and asked her to double check that my stuff is unplugged and, even though she confirms that everything is safe, I’m still nervous.
Cause, you know, the lightning might come through the window just to hit my stuff.
Or something.
Is it silly? Sure, but it’s the only time I’ve ever truly felt the need to employ the “better safe than sorry” method.
Well, that’s my irrational fear… what’s yours?
Mine’s similar: I can’t leave a cord plugged into an outlet when it’s not connected to anything on the other side. Some people point it out, and I mumble something about fire hazards while not really knowing if it’s dangerous or not. I’m terrified of house-fires, though.
I once had a house fire in our bathroom. We were redecorating the walls and we had too let everything dry, so we set up a heater on some small plastic stairs. Turned out to be a bad idea. Luckily, the fire was contained in the bathroom and we only had some damage from the smoke.
And if we ever get a real house fire, my room has a door to the balcony, so I should be able to get out pretty easily.
My irrational fear is being outside at twilight. I don’t know why. Day doesn’t bother me, neither does the night – but that time in between? Terrifying. . . O_o
Being in deep water without a life jacket. I can’t really swim, but I have minor not drowning skills. But being in a lake or something without something to make me float I’m terrified I’ll suddenly sink
I have the same thing, although maybe not as worse as you. I get very nervous on a boat in the middle of a large body of water. And I once had a panic attack when I was swimming in a lake and I thought I couldn’t reach the shore.
I live in a place where it’s not completely uncommon to see 100+ lightning strikes inside of a minute during a storm…. aaaand right after I type that, thunder rumbles. I probably fear boredom most… how’s that for irrational?
Mine is fear of strangulation, I hate having high collars and I get really nervous if my fiance and i are snuggling and he’s shifted his arm over my throat even if he’s not touching me… I adore lightning, we’re in for a big storm tonight.
Spiders. I know it’s cliché, but I really, REALLY don’t like spiders. Although I can stand them a little more than when I was younger.
