3 really strange fears
I'm 16 and I am afraid of balloons, dating, and high ceilings. I did some research and found that the fear of balloons is globophobia and the fear of high ceilings is called altocelarophobia, but I have no idea what scares me about dating. I just want to see if anyone else here has these fears or knows how to cope with them. I know it's kind of weird, but I just wanted to know :)
Birds - including taxidermied birds, real birds, birds circling above me, flying kinda low in my general direction, baby birds, non-flying birds except penguins
Windows at night - I feel if a window is closed (blinds/curtains) before its dark outside then once it becomes dark if I look out the window then a dangerous man will be staring back at me
Flushing toilets - the lid of a toilet must be down before I can flush it if there's no lid (public restrooms) I will hold my breath until I can get out of that stall or restroom
Encountering wild animals outside at night. I am always watching for raccoons, wolves, and deer that might try to attack me as I walk from my car to my front door. To be fair, I do live in the country.
Eating raw or undercooked meat. Not because it isn't healthy, but because it tastes like meat. I like my meat to taste like seasonings, not animal blood and flesh. I will throw up if I am forced to eat meat that tastes bloody. And my boyfriend's family love rare steaks.... ughh
That my best friends like their other friends more than they like me, and that I'm just a back-up friend to them. I always assume they would rather be spending their time with someone else, but that person was busy so they called me.
Separation
Letting people down
Failling
