    Hmm I keep thinking that when I walk over one of those sewer grates you see in the road; that it may break and I'd fall down into all that crap.

    no im rational :D

    BTW to have fear doesnt mean that you are irrational. If you have reason to have fear then you are rational. For example its very rational to be afraid of bears if you have experienced that your dad got eaten by a bear.

    irrationality boils down to some feelings, impulsive acts, intuitive and things you cant explain, like for example religion and superstition.

    When I'm on a rooftop and I look down towards the ground I get this feeling someone will push me from behind and I'll die a painful death. Because of that, each and every time I look down, I get this chill on my spine, plus a small electroshock sensation in my nuts (no kidding) which forces me to back off and stay away.
    That's the only irrational fear I have.

    That's not irrational, that's pretty much what vertigo is.

    I'm irrational because I have to have my back to a wall, and I will NOT sit with my back to a window. Ever ever ever. I don't think it's paranoid, I just can't stand it.

    I'm extremely paranoid, it's like i have to be careful with what i think because people might 'hear' my thoughts.

    Beat that :p

    Ditto, I'm always afraid of someone reading my mind. I hardly even have anything to hide, but still...

    Also, when I come outside at night, like to feed the dog etc. I always try to get back as soon as possible and especially if I hear a car coming nearby.

    I'm the same way there. I also don't look too hard into dark corners. Cause you never know when something's gonna look back.

    Ffffff too much HP Lovecraft has screwed me up

    If you knock the dream catcher while awake then it releases bad dreams and you will have one the following night :(.
