Hubs and I discovered the other day that our little kitty is terrified of bubble wrap. Runs as soon as he hears one tiny bubble pop into any other room but the one where the bubble wrap is! Seems pretty silly to us.
Which has kinda got me thinking. What about other "silly" fears? Fears of mine? What are they exactly and do they really hold as much over me as I think they should?
One of my silly fears is of balloons. I guess Kitty and I have something in common! We don't like hearing things pop! Of course, I don't go tearing out of a room just because somebody brought balloons. However, they do make me nervous and/or anxious. Especially when someone is handling the balloon. Not just holding the string or ribbon it's on, but touching the balloon. *shiver*
But that's a fear which doesn't cripple me or stop me from doing things. What about something I don't label as "silly" right away, because to me it isn't silly? Perhaps all fears are silly to somebody somewhere, but not necessarily to the one with the fear.
I think I'm done trying to be profound for the night.
