Irrational fears

I can tell people things about my childhood and other such stuff that would seem personal with out reservation. I usually speak freely about the things I have been through or have happened to me. However, I have a LOT of trouble telling people about my irrational fears.

I have been thinking these last few days about said irrational fears. About why I cannot tell people about my irrational fears. I have finally come up with the reason for my reluctance. People don't make fun of other people because of a crappy childhood but fears that are ridiculous...that is another story...lol.

I must first define an irrational fear; when you are afraid of something to the point that you go out of your way to avoid or lessen the effect. So I will share with you some of my many (yes, I have many, MANY) irrational fears:
1. The dark: I am afraid that something is sitting right infront of me, within millimeters of my face when I cannot see.
2. Cockroaches: No real need for an explanation except that they are very nasty.
3. Being stinky: I absolutely hate the thought of someone not liking the way I smell and seeing as how most people I know like pleasant smells I try to keep smelling pleasant (an effort much helped by quitting smoking)
4. Looking stupid: I know that this one is one of those that is near the top of most peoples lists but I want to emphasize that this also (in my book that applies only to me) includes anything that may or may not cause people to think badly of me whether they know me or not, even if it is another driver on the road.
5. Looking frumpy: This is one that kinda lumps together with stinky...e.g. frumpy=stinky some how.
6. Answering a question wrong or slightly wrong: I am always unsure if what I am thinking about actually applies to the question so sometimes even if I know the answer I won't say.

Now that I am writing these out though I see that they may not be all that irrational...just maybe a bit more intense than other peoples.

Oh, miscellaneous thing...I am always afraid that the people who make really bad movies will get their feelings hurt by the reviews.
