Anyway, what were people's irrational childhood fears? For example, toilet monster, monster under the bed, bogeyman in the closet, etc.

Mine was the darkness , sleeping facing the wall and open doors and sleeping with closet doors open. Can't fully cover my head while sleeping, or sleep on my back...like a corpse lol

I still have all of mine, esp closet doors and other doors open. Sometimes I sleep with night stand lamps on, kitchen lights on, and porch light on...just in case there is a scared person out there.


The worst time of my sleeping life is when I read a book by Dean koontz , I think I temporarily lost my sanity, that man should be arrested !

I don't remember any particular fear that i personally had as a kid but my bro feared pikipiki like i've never seen anyone fear anything. Youngben might remember the Khalasinga guy who used to sell bed sheets kwa pikipiki riding it around the estates...my bro would run mbio into the diggz when he hears it from a distance and lock himself in mpaka the guy aende lol!

He also had this brown sweater as a much younger toi. Brown ka ya uji ya brown, hebu try to valisha him that sweater and see the way he'll cry mpaka uitoe. He feared that sweater and totally refused to wear it...very irrational I would say, at least ile noise ya hondaa is understandable.

Fear of the dark - manze, when I was little I feared whenever my mum sent me upstairs to her room to get sth. I agonised for a few seconds and when I finally got the courage to go - I'd bang on the walls, to scare away 'anyone' or 'anything' hiding in there. Since the light switch was by the door, I'd wakisha it in a hurry and stand to wait and see what left the room - then get whatever I was sent and hurry back downstairs.

New age irrational fears - quite a number some are sensored

I have a fear of failure, and dying bila anything or any one to my name ...
