Fear of fear?
Is it just me or does everyone think that right now there are birds all around the world, sitting in trees, planning how to peck your eyes out?
I know.....it’s ridiculous, but phobia’s aren’t supposed to make sense are they?
I think I got that phobia back in grade five when a boy in Perth had his corneas pecked out by a magpie and we all had to start wearing ice cream containers on our heads....Whatever! I’m terrified of birds up close. I love them in trees, great in cages, not bad in my back yard (as long as I’m inside with the door shut)....
And I have good reason to be wary of phobias…
My dad was terrified of cancer. We weren’t allowed to have a microwave oven, he wouldn’t eat peanut paste, he wouldn’t eat margarine, burnt toast, anything he read might be linked to cancer was banned from our house…and what did he die of? That’s right, cancer.
My cousin is six foot four and weighs about 17 stone (I don’t even know what that is in kilos…but it’s a lot) and he’s scared of mice. If he ever catches a mouse in a trap, his five foot two wife has to take it out of the house, it's hilarious.
Oprah Winfrey is scared of chewing gum…
Orlando Bloom is scared of Pigs…
David Beckham has ataxaphobia, fear of disorder. Apparently he needs the house tidy at all times and lines things up on the desk or table in front of him…
I have a phobia of ataxaphobia – that’s a fear of someone who hates disorder EVER EVER setting foot inside my house…
