I have a phobia of doorbells.

People getting irrationally angry over small issues

People who ambush you with lies

Joe90,

I also worry about family, friends and pets dying. I have experienced those things so many times, and it hurts every time.

People whose moods run hot and cold, and neither extreme is good. They go from extreme rage to cold indifference.

I went through about five or six years where we had so many family and friends and even animals dying on us. We attended 43 funerals and we could not go to them all, and neither could we cope with any more. We went from a large family to a small one in just a few years. Three racks of the yearly Christmas cards dissapeared to just a few each year.

Microphone feedback-scares me every time!

When the television volume suddenly goes from mumbling to blaring, without my having used the remote control

The fire alarm (really more aggravating than scary)

Somebody speaking when they're standing behind me

The kind that is just too bizarre to process or even believe as witnessing it.
Sure, anything that concerns the wellbeing and the future of a loved one no matter the scale and the scope of situation is involved.
Or something just bizarre or outright messed up enough that I shouldn't be involved in the first place and yet I turned out to be at it.


Most forms of unpredictability that puts me on a negative reaction either annoys me or stresses me out. Sometimes I do get nervous, but almost never outright scared.
At worst, it's never ending uncertainty just makes me depressed or frustrated because of lacking control over it.

Because I myself is unpredictable to myself and could barely had internal order, let alone demand external ones.
So why be scared of the known chaos of anything else?? There are times that I can even rely on it.

MountainGoat,

The time period between 2008-2011 was a terrible time, with numerous deaths of both animals and people in my life. I lost a dog, three cats and my mother in that period of time.

The time period between 2016-2018 was the next worst. I lost my sister and my last two indoor cats.

When I was working at my local newspaper, it could be dead quiet in the room, then, out of the blue, someone would yell the F word or $#I+! It made me jump nearly out of my chair.

Horrible when that happens. I did reply before but it didn't post it.

I worry that the coming years may involve a new string of losses. I hope this isn't the case. I always came back from every cycle of loss to a relatively normal life. I don't know if I have much more "comeback" power left. The improvements seem smaller now than they did when I was beginning my emergence into the world.

I have always worried about natural disasters ever since I was in elementary school. The natural disasters that I particularly worry about are Tornadoes and Hurricanes. When I was in elementary school I read every book in my library about natural disasters, how to somewhat predict them, and how to prepare for them. I had a whole plan mapped out for natural disasters if one were to ever occur. So severe thunderstorms freaked me out and gave me lots of anxiety. Even regular thunderstorms scared the crap out of me. Just the sound of the Emergency Alert System was enough to make my heart start racing. I also worried about things that could end humanity as well and at 20 years old I still worry about these things.

I also worry about the unpredictability of people as well.
