A Surprisingly Long List of Things I'm Afraid Of

Remember when "SorryNotSorry" was a thing? Well... yeah. Sorry I haven't posted in two weeks. But I'm not really because... I'm just not. Great intro!

So, I just watched a youtuber that I enjoy name some of her fears. I would like to share with you a list of my irrational fears as well. Because there's no way some psycho is going to find this and use them against me... right?
I tried to find his worried face. This was the best I could do. 

1. Balloons. They might as well be called Heart Attacks on String. Their one and ONLY purpose is to float around until they die a horrible, painful, loud, terrifying death! 
My worst nightmare.

2. Someone suing me for something arbitrary. Like... I don't know... using Disney pictures without correctly citing my source. Side note: I took none of the pictures used here.
Ha.


3. Heights. Yes, I know many people are afraid of heights. Someone wise once said, "a fear of heights is irrational. A fear of falling is normal." The problem is, I'm actually afraid of the height. If I fall and die, I don't have to worry about being up high anymore. 
You see fun. I see death.


4. Sounds. Yes. Sounds. Any sounds, really. I live with only my two dogs. If there is any sound made, it better be them or me. Otherwise, surely there is a murderer on my balcony. 

There is no picture of sound. That, in itself, is terrifying.

Real life situation: I just heard a sound after typing that. The movie "Saw" is about to be a reality for me. I can feel it!

5. E. Coli. Every time I eat beef.
Delicious death.

6. The ocean. And it's not the "I don't know what's in the water" fear. It's more that I'm scared I'll get knocked down by a big wave and drown in 3 feet of water, which would just be embarrassing. 
The horror!!!


7. Getting into my car at night. There are so many possibilities! Murderer in the back seat. Murderer under the car. Running away from a murderer, but the car won't start. I could go on.
Eff.

8. Becoming homeless because my student loans are too high and I make, like, $9 a year. I get panic attacks every time I make a payment.
Pictured: me.

9. The dark. Any part of it really. The stillness, the silence, someone looking at you that you can't see... *shudder*
Only murderers and scared people use this road.

10. Finding hair in my food. Oh my gosh, just eew. Don't even... I don't... stop! I refuse to post a picture of that.

Great. Now I'm scared.
