What irrational fear did you have as a child?

[Mike Nasty]

There was an episode of the Cosby show where Bill Cosby was talking about losing his brother growing up. I thought that would be the worst thing that could ever happen, and I didn't even like my brother until we got older.

Edit: I guess that's not irrational

As a kid, we had a POS car that kept breaking down randomly. Whenever it did break down, I would be afraid we would get rear-ended. I would always look out the rear window and see the other drivers all "" as my parents would try multiple times to get the car started.

The KKK


My mom gave me this big book of Black American History and they started from Slavery in Africa up to the 90s

I was little child learning about how white people were allowed to do all these evil things to black Americans. I was low key shook to visit my family South of the border because I thought the KKK would get me.

It wasn't until I watched that episode of Jerry Springer, I realized how goofy they were



I love how you're all scared of actually things little kids should be afraid of lol

As a young child, I was scared about death being oblivion. No afterlife, not even a Hell. I was worried death meant I would be in continuous nothingness from then on not understanding that oblivion meant a state of being unaware of anything. So I would not even know I am dead, if oblivion takes me.

All my fears were rational




I thought if water went in my ear i would go deaf or die , I dunno . Imagine my mom trying to wash my hair. My son ended up having the same fear lol

As a kid they use to send home flyers like "There is a man in a van looking to kidnap kids on way home from school". Back in Jersey being kidnap was worst fear as a kid.

We used to watch Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, and they did a KKK episode. They almost lynched Robert E, and cut off his wife’s hair. That scared the hell out of me. I almost didn’t want to go to Disney World on the church trip, because I thought the klan was going to stop the bus full of black people in 1993, and kill us.
