Irrationality

I’ve decided to devote an entire post to my stupid irrational fears from past to present. Everyone has them so don’t you dare laugh at me.

Okay…

1. I’m convinced that all spiders want to kill me and will stop at nothing to bite me…

2. I will avoid being near a horse because I saw this show a long time ago where a horse kicked a sheep’s head off and now I’m scared a horse is going to kick my head off…

3. I try ridiculously hard not to go into the bathroom at night because its just eerie…

4. I’m tense the entire time I’m in home depot because I’m constantly afraid that the big heavy stuff on the very top of the aisles is going to topple over & fall on me…

5. anytime I enter a room at night that has the lights off, I always assume that there is a killer in there who is going to kill me before I can even turn on the lights…

6. When I’m at home and I hear a plane flying overhead, I get really scared because I think that the plane is going to crash into my house…

7. I always check the toilet bowl before I sit down because I’m paranoid that an alligator is going to climb up the pipes and into my toilet and bite my butt…

8. I’m super careful when I use the blow-dryer because I’m scared that my hair is going to get caught & catch fire & I’ll end up looking like a burn victim/cancer survivor…

9. I always act more pro-government then I really am when I’m on the phone because I’m scared that the government is monitoring my conversations…

10. I always check under my covers before I go to bed because I always think that I’m going to one day find a serial killer under the sheets just waiting to kill me…

Now that you’ve gotten a good look at my insanity, I think I’m going to head off to bed.

G’night.

p.s.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.
