Does anyone have any extremely odd phobias?
I have a phobia of birds, but that's not that rare or weird.
However, I also have an unnatural fear of Sea Monsters, the fact that they most likely don't exist notwithstanding.
I absolutely refuse to go into any body of water that is not a pool and even then, when a tree beside the pool casts shadows onto the surface, I tense up.
If I watch a movie, read a story or book or see pictures of supposed Sea Monsters, I have panic attacks. My breath catches in my throat, I shake (sometimes violently, sometimes only slightly), I start to sweat like crazy and my heart beats a mile a minute.
It's the most ridiculous, irrational fear I've ever heard of, but I can't shake it.
Anyone else have anything like that?
