The Fears

Things I Fear is a community-driven website that discusses everything relative to the word “Fear”. We bring your scariest thoughts to the surface and discuss them in a way that allows you to see them in a completely different perspective: Poorly written satire with just a hint of helpful advice.

Anyone who considers themselves a connoisseur of getting their body rubbed by a stranger needn’t read this. However, those who might think twice before exchanging money for having their muscles poked and prodded may have a Fear of Massages.

Someone really should make a movie about this one. Whether it’s because of the music by A Flock of Seagulls has somehow made its way into your home or because an actual flock of seagulls have made their way into your home, having a Fear of Birds is widely considered to be the most common
