A Beautiful Mind

Okay, confession time.

I have some pretty abnormal, ridiculous, and irrational fears.  The movie "A Beautiful Mind" freaked me out.  It was, however, Russell Crowe's best work.  "THIS I SWEAR BY THE STARRRS!"  (shudder)  -

I recently watched it again, by myself, in the dark.  That was dumb.

What if....

1. I have Schizophrenia and don't know it, because I only remember this side of myself?

2. Down the road, someone enters my life, and I later find out that I made up the whole thing???

3. I am actually a little mentally handicapped and everyone is too nice to tell me - and everyone feels sorry for me?

4. I go crazy later in life and do horrible things without knowing it?

5. I think about this so much and end up giving myself these problems psychosomatically?


My mom reminded me that I wouldn't have a steady job if any of these happened to be true, and that someone would have at least made a comment to their validity already in my life.  She is the best.

I also have a fear of rubber bands snapping and balloons that could pop near me.  Like crazy fear.  Like - crazy.  See?  I could be CRAZY!

So, I just want to know - what are some things you are afraid of that others may think are silly?

Spiders are a given.

Go.
