By definition, they’re not based on logic or reason—but that doesn’t stop our brains from going full drama queen sometimes!
Me? I’ve got a few:
🐍 I cannot use the toilet without checking the bowl first. What if there’s a snake?!
👣 I don’t like standing too close to the bed before climbing in… because, you know, something might grab my feet.
🐛 I always watch my tea or water as I sip it—just in case there’s a bug in there doing the backstroke.
🐒 And here’s a classic from childhood: I could never drink the milk after eating cereal or cookies in it… because I was convinced there were monkeys in the milk. Don’t ask. 😂
Irrational fears and I go way back!
Do I know these things are silly? Sure.
Does it change anything? Nope!
So tell me—what are your irrational fears?
Let’s bond over the weirdness that makes us wonderfully human.
