Ok y’all, I feel like this topic is going to bring you a bit too close to my brand of crazy but it’s what the challenge has chosen. So, let’s just get this over with. I have a few and I will list them and the reason I’m so scared by or of them. Umbrellas Does this sound a little off? I would rather walk in the pouring rain then try and use an umbrella. Sometimes they turn upside-down because of the wind which means you’re in the rain longer trying to fix it. And the closing method, I can’t even. The anxiety I have that once I reach my destination I won’t be able to close the umbrella is just too much so I skip them altogether. Sitting In The Center Of the Movie Theater I actually know some people who share this one with me but I have to sit at the end of the row. Some people don’t go to the movies with me because of this little tick of mine. I’m not really sure where it stems from but I have this fear that something will cause me to need to get out fast and if I’m not on the end, who knows what might happen? See, it’s not so insane but it definitely tests relationships. Making Phone Calls I’ve had jobs where I’ve been on the phone and I’m fine. I answer each call with no anxiety whatsoever but if I need to make the call. All bets are off. Obviously friends and family are totally fine, but if you want me to call a mechanic or a doctor’s office it really gets me in a panic. I worry that I’ll say the wrong thing or make a fool of myself which is ridiculous. These calls always go fine and I feel so silly but I still go through the fear in my head every time. I’m sure there are other people who share my irrational fears, or maybe not. But I’m being open and honest here so there they are.
