Ok so some people have said fear of heights already, and I agree.

But I don't find it to be that irrational, you know? If you fall from heights, you get gravely injured.. it's rational to be afraid of that.

But maybe I'm just confusing the fear of heights with a fear of falling. Any thoughts?

This may sound weird, but one thing I hate is long nails.
Whenever I see long nails, I just get this vision that they will break/snap with a painful sound, and the sound of people picking their nails and such is one of the worst sounds I know.

Yeah, might be weird.  :P

Well, yes, it's that number, but it is supposed to be the most beautiful proportion you can use in constructing a rectangle (and I think other shapes as well). Like, the most aesthetically pleasing dimensions of a rectangle

Its the ratio between two lengths when the following condition is met:

a/b = (a+b)/a = phi = 1.6.......

And I have no irrational fears. Plenty of rational ones though.

I'm not afraid of any things that aren't worth being afraid about. And those I would call rational.

I wish I got this reference. I've even seen that made-for-tv movie about Ty that came on back in the early 90s but I'm gonna assume this has nothing to do with that at all.

Well, since I'd consider heights and spiders and stuff to be "rational" fears, seeing as how falling from a height can kill you and there are some poisonous spiders:

Tall things. I have no idea why, but looking at tall things gives me vertigo and turns my legs to jelly. We tried to walk across the golden gate bridge at night once, and I couldn't do it because those towers are fucking massive. I'm sure my fear of heights, and water didn't help, but yeah.

That there is always something there. I constantly think I see see something out of the corner of my eye, and it turns out to be nothing. I'll see a spot on a wall or something, and think it's a large spider (which I'm deathly afraid of), and it'll just be a shadow or something. Sometimes my mind just pretends that it saw something I'll look at the spot where I thought I saw something for a minute or two just to make sure that there isn't actually anything there.

I think it's irrational when you really can't fall down because there's something protecting you (a barrier or something), but you're still afraid even though that's not really possible. I guess that's the point more or less.

I also have a bit of that... although more than myself falling, I'm more afraid that something I have will slip out of my hand or pocket and fall down. Especially if I have a camera in my hand and I'm somewhere tall near a barrier I grip it hard in my hand.

Despite everything I find the idea of a long fall eventually finished by landing less scary than endless falling...

Websites I'm unsure of. Seriously. Caused by some of the "screamer" sites (you probably know what I mean), and honestly if I caught one of those fucktards who make those they'd end up lying on the ground in a bad shape. It's not funny.

Actually, it's very funny. I appreciate a good screamer site as long as it doesn't harm your computer by way of viruses. You need to learn how to laugh at yourself.

Of course, I'm allergic so that might be a rational fear.

I'm not a big fan of feet either (I once accidentally kicked my mum in the face cos she attacked me with an attempted foot massage while I was lying on the sofa) but I really really hate belly buttons. They just freak me out.
