Whenever I walk through a parking garage alone, I start to get apprehensive out of fear that a nonexistent enemy, or the hired goons of a nonexistent enemy attacking me. And the attack in my mind always starts with a punch to my stomach that causes a loud groan that resonates throughout the garage. I think that's where the fear originates. So many movies have scenes where someone is attacked in an empty parking lot and I think that's such a reliable trope because parking garages have such good acoustics. So this fear exists solely because of how well sound travels in parking garages.
Anyone else have oddly specific fears?

Whenever I walk on stairs that have open backs, I am afraid someone will grab my foot.

I don't like to walk past rooms with open doors. I always worry I'll see a ghost as I pass by.

Falling off my balcony. I live on the twelfth floor of my apartment and I don't go out on the balcony as a results. But still, I regularly think about falling off of it to my death.

Going by a window at night and seeing someone (or someTHING!) looking back in at me.

I used to have a pretty irrational fear of balloons popping as a kid. I didn't even like holding them, in fear they'd explode and make a loud noise.

As a kid, I was always scared that my reflection would jump out of the mirror and attack me. As an adult, I don't expect it to happen but the thought is still kind of creepy to me.

I hate flying because I am afraid the plane I am on will split in half and people (including myself) will get sucked out of plane and die either from lack of oxygen or simply from falling to their deaths.
I'm also afraid of a hostage type scenario like in The Devil's Rejects where someone is holding a gun to my wife and doing rapey things to her while I am helpless to do anything about it.
There is also the fear of finding my dog dead someday. This one is the worst, because it is inevitable as opposed to a hypothetical situation.

People knocking at the door. I hate when I have the TV on but I'm not paying attention, and someone knocks on the door on the show or movie. For some reason, that sound gives me a Pavlovian reaction of "oh f***", and it always sounds so real. I don't do the same thing for someone talking, or gun shots, or any other TV noise. |

A boiling kettle. I always leave the room while it's doing it. Sooner or later, it's going to explode. I just know it.

During a thunderstorm, I manage to convince myself that a lightning bolt is going to strike me. I don't know where this fear has come from because I used to love them as a kid.

I get this too, I try to stay away from Windows, always have a pair of shoes on, and try to stick to the ground floor of the house. I thought it was just mild but just yesterday just I was leaving the house a large bolt looked like it touched down only a short distance away and followed by a loud bang a second later. When it happened I had a mild panic and went back in the house going "NOPE, NOPE, NOPE, NOPE!" |

I turn into a quivering wreck when the loud thunderclap hits. The thing I always do now when a storm approaches is go around every room in the house switching off every single plug point. |

I can't pee in a stall, because I assume people think I'm in there with a shy bladder.
