what is your irrational fear???

You know they say every people in the world must’ve had at least one irrational fear or widely known as phobia.. Me myself, I’ve got two.. I’m insanely afraid of rhodents (rats, mice, even hamsters, etc) and crossing the street. Some find the second one a bit ridiculous.. But it’s true.. Everytime I stand on the side of the street, try to cross it by myself, my knees tremble and my hands get cold. Few times I forced myself to cross the street alone, and what happened was I ran across the street, with my eyes closed.. Then I realized I could’ve killed myself..



Just the other day, I searched the site www.phobialist.com and O MY GOD I’ve just known that there are sooooo many types of phobias in the world.. I can’t even imagine that some of them are really experienced by any people.. You can go and check the site yourself if you want to search through all those phobias..
