what's a weird and random fear or concern you have?

Random and irrational fears that I have is standing in front of a window and getting shot (not sure what caused this) and - ever since I heard about that one mall in South Korea - being inside of a building with terrible infrastructure that collapses on me.


A more rational one I have is the thought of awful people doing awful things and being able to keep walking around afterwards. For example, when I hear that someone was able to escape an abusive or horrible situation, it's good for them, but then I think about how that person is still out there most likely doing it again to someone else. It doesn't sit right with me.

I'm afraid to go to sleep without praying, it may seem very strange because I'm not exactly a religious person, but I was raised in a Catholic family and I intended to be a priest (I didn't follow that path), I feel like I need to keep trying to communicate with God or whatever higher power is out there.

I'm also very afraid of developing diseases like ALS or dementia, Alzheimer's... diseases are very scary.

@bucciest Bullets and windows are not an irrational fear depending on where you're from, sadly. Stray bullets are deadly, I always dock/get on the floor if I hear anything similar to gunshots.

I am concerned over the gradual and unnoticeable disappearance of customs, opinions, styles, and values from the past because they have either been forgotten or evidence of them existing is fading, so, we'll never know a unique thing that has existed despite having had the opportunity to save/preserve/scavenge it. In reality, some of those things probably don't matter much.

@W3TFT I've felt similarly before, too.


Also, there's this general idea that humanity is better than it once was and is making an upward progress over time, but I've always thought there's ebbs and flows, and wonder sometimes what great strides people made in the past that have been lost and forgotten throughout history (usually in terms of culture, but it could apply in other ways).

Succeeding and being disappointed

Entropy

Cosmic strings

Those are just some I am willing to say


They arent really that bad of fire hazards considering LED Christmas lights are a thing.


This is why I carry my wallet in my front pocket not my back pocket because I can feel it better. Had to get a slim wallet so it wouldnt bulge.

I get kind of anxious being farther from home too.

I envy you and your simple plights. As a person who has gone through several traumatic events. I would love to have one of those simple fears, a beeping of a clock or shoes tapping against the floor. Uneasy, and simple.

@Tawaney This is a thread about weird/random fears. The answers would be different and much more serious if the topic of discussion was along the lines of what you're thinking, but it's not.
