Comments on: Irrational Fears, Dating https://alicamckennajohnson.com/2014/10/irrational-fears-dating/ Where Are We Going? And Why Am I in This Hand Basket? Mon, 27 Oct 2014 16:43:50 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Kilian Metcalf https://alicamckennajohnson.com/2014/10/irrational-fears-dating/#comment-9363 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 16:43:50 +0000 https://alicamckennajohnson.com/?p=1874#comment-9363 I thought of another irrational fear as I was driving home the other day. Bicyclists sharing the road terrify me. I have this awful vision that one of them is going to hit a bump or a stone or something and fall over right in front of me. I’m afraid I won’t be able to stop and that I will run over one of them. I try to move over into another lane if possible, or give them maximum room if not. I wish the city would put more room for the bike lane.

Yes, the Teddy bears can stay on the shelf.

Oh, that is sad and I’m afraid of the same thing. I either want to be ground zero and have it over with quickly OR create my own new world where I am queen!!!

I’m not sure it’s irrational, but here it is. When the apocalypse comes (take your pick in what form) I’m afraid I will be too old and feeble to fight.

I’ve been afraid of bears since I was a kid. I had a scary, giant stuffed panda that was bigger than I was. Very scary. My dad used to sing me the song about ‘the bear came over the mountain to see what he could see.’ Innocuous, yes? Not to me. I was sure that bear was going to come over the mountain and get me. I’ve been scared of bears all my life.
