Things we fear the most...
I almost have a fascination with the little petty things that some people are so afraid of for whatever reason.

There are just some things people do or don't and mainly because there's this maybe powerful, I guess, feeling inside them that is the cause.

*So the day started a little late...^^

I’ll rephrase that first line there; you see, I’m fascinated with why people would meet fear in everyday things like having to talk to someone they’re about to meet for the first time. Ok, maybe that is a little reasonable, normal even. Then some people don’t like to order food in a restaurant because they have to come face-to-face with a “stranger”. And I won’t leave out how some people really don’t like talking to those they don’t know over the phone. They just won’t do it.

“These are just social phobias” you might say, but what about a person who simply will not hang up first on the phone? It’s not that big a deal, right?

When I was a little kid, I had this thing with public restrooms. I always got this deathly scary feeling whenever I realized I was alone in one and I’d run for dear life to the exit. I used to peek inside a restroom to see if there was someone else there and if I saw that there wasn’t, then I just didn’t go. A little weird, a little sad, but don’t worry, I soon grew out of it.

Isn’t there something that you find yourself not able to do for what seems to be an unexplainable reason? Or perhaps you know of someone who has some strange way about them you’ve noticed? Let’s say, someone who will practically tell you their entire life’s story, but they won’t even give you their first name?

That I find irritating because I find some people rather interesting, you know ^_^ ? And of course, I just have this thing with names.
