Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Anyone want to share some irrational fears?

I'm just going to be straight forward. I am afraid of ketchup. It's very odd I know. Most people are afraid of spiders or clowns.... I fear the most popular condiment in the US..... Does anyone have a really weird fear like mine? Maybe one that's weirder?

I cringe and get shivers when I see it, or smell it. (I got shivers just writing about it) Although, there was this one time.... Someone got some on me, on the arm of my shirt, I freaked out. I ripped my shirt off right there (I had an undershirt, so it's not like I was naked or anything) and ran to the bathroom and started washing my arms with hot water. That was the last time we held a BBQ..... (-___-)

Comment by Hana on September 29, 2011 at 8:20am: No. I'm good with blood. I've just decided it's completely irrational. It just happened out of nowhere, and who am I to question it. lol.

Comment by Hana on September 28, 2011 at 11:20pm: Nope. Can't think of anything that triggered this fear... I can't even remember when it happened. But I know it developed within the years 2007-2008. It's really difficult to live with, I never want to go out to eat with people anymore. The worst is when people find out about it and think it's funny to shove it in my face and stuff. (>.<) Bleh. I literally freaked out one time at an Applebees; started crying and hyperventilating because I had to sit really close to a friend who poured it all over her plate.

Comment by Patty on September 28, 2011 at 5:51pm: I am afraid of balloons. I was a afraid of feathers when I was younger because we had a pillow fight and one of the pillows exploded bigtime in the bedroom and it freaked me out. That fear is gone, I still don't like balloons and that was from a bad experience too. Do you have a memory associated with ketchup where something bad or scary happened?
