What it one/some of your irrational fears?

I am terrified of birds if they are too close to me. I don't mind bird watching, we own several bird feeders, I know birds well. I cannot stand aviaries or any bird enclosure you have to walk through. I will not walk by a bird unless it is at least 10 feet away! I think I saw the Alfred Hitchcock movie Birds at a very young age. Petrified!

Centipedes! I know I'm much bigger than they are ... but SO CREEPY! LOL

Suzanna, birds don't bother me. We had budgies as kids that would fly around and land on us, But I feel like you do but about moths. They make me shout out when they come near me. I have no idea why, it's like I can't control it. I hate it so much.

Birds don't bother me - I don't want anything swooping by my face or eyes though. After three eye injuries (to the same eye) I am a bit hypersensitive to things moving quickly near my face.

This is me! I saw The Birds at a slumber party when I was in the 6th grade and it freaked me out. The scene in the movie when the birds come flying out of the fireplace still scares the wee out me! To this day I cannot stand birds and will freak if they fly towards me!

I HATE SPIDERS! *shudder*

Talking about things near your face...I hate games involving balls. Unless I hit them off the ground, like golf. Anything where a ball is thrown or hit towards me just makes me duck, not hit back. I was terribly near-sighted as a child, and no one knew. I think that is why I am terrified of them--I didn't know they were coming until it was too late.
