I have an illogical fear of large empty swimming pools. It's totally irrational but I'd be too frightened to look at one let alone stand in it.

Circles. Eewwwww. There is a proper name for it that I can't remember, begins with T. If circles freak you out NEVER google it. You can't forget it once you do!

Apples. I hate them. Can't touch them. No idea why. Think i might have eaten one with a worm as a kid.

Kidney beans really freak me out. They look hard and shiny but they're not, mushy and weird. Same for chickpeas. Things should taste how they look!

Worms - irrationally terrified of them to the point I break out in cold sweat whenever I see one!

When we moved into this house there was a large mirror hanging over the stairs. I moved it as I had a illogical fear if I looked in it I would see someone behind me.

Slugs and snails. There is a big thing of salt by the back door so I can kill them on sight. And I swear I can hear them moving when they're close (ish). I'm aware I have issuesBlush
