Even the strongest of personalities have that one paralyzing fear or phobia that cannot be understood by others.


Many phobias – like the fear of clowns – can be considered irrational.

Although, clowns should be universally feared after "Pennywise" – the Dancing Clown from Stephen King's It became a part of pop culture.

"Down here, we all float." Not with you. Bye-bye.

Let's hear from others.

Redditor puns-sometimes asked:

"What's your irrational fear?"

Slicing Fingers

"That when i fall while ice skating, someone wont see me on the ground and theyll skate over my fingers slicing them like carrots. luckily i dont ice skate much and if i do i hold the wall."

"edit: so ive been getting comments on how this isn't irrational (because it really isnt) and how this has happened to people and im letting you know that the last time i remember skating is when i was 7, and i havent been on the ice since. since i havent skated in almost a decade, why does my brain worry about getting my fingers cut off???"

"Omg I had this fear as a kid too!

"We had a pool which would get partial shade over it during the day, idk why but I'd sometimes freak myself out that a shark was going to suddenly appear in the shaded parts of the pool so I wouldn't swim in it or avoid those parts (even tho they'd move throughout the day) and I'd be happily swimming in the sunny bits."

"I dont feel this way now about swimming in pools but I'm glad I'm not the only one who had/has this irrational fear :)"
