However, for as long as I can remember, I've been afraid that if I look at some person the wrong way and they're in a gang or something they'll shoot me. Isn't that the stupidest thing you've ever heard? I just wish I knew why in the world I have this phobia...it's so stupid. I don't even live in a bad area, either, so it's even dumber.

You wanna hear a weirder phobia? (Or would it be more weird?) I'm afraid of people touching my wrists. But that's not it exactly. I'm afraid of them CARESSING or softyly touching my wrists. And I hate when other people touch their own wrists. And by "caress", I mean, pretending to cut it with a knife....ew...just the thought makes me squeamish. And also, I don't like people touching my throat or collar bone. Is that not weird?
