OPEN SESSION: The Moleskinerie Open Thread Discussion

Welcome to OPEN SESSION:  The Moleskinerie Open Thread Discussion.

Moleskinerie invites you, our visitors to share your thoughts on a special topic.

Today it is "UNUSUAL PHOBIA"

A phobia (from the Greek: φόβος, phóbos, fear or morbid fear), is an intense and persistent fear of certain situations, activities, things, or people. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive and unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject.

Have you, or somebody that you know, an irrational fear?

Fear of darkness, phobia of water depth.

I suffer from a fear of lobsters, or crabs. Basically anything whith claws that resembles them. Pretty strange I think.

Fear of satyrs. Yeah they're mythical creatures but they have a very disturbing look to them.

I did a blog post about a growing list of irrational fears I have, all stemming from certain films.

And when I say irrational, I mean irrational. Like holding a pot of boiling water and fearing of having a seizure and giving myself third degree burns.
