I’ve got a few strange phobias that I really have no explanation of where they came from. Let me elaborate a little bit more.
1.heights…I don’t like heights. No reason not to. I’ve never fallen from any place high. I can stand on a chair, with no issues. If I get up on a ladder, I break out in a sweat. Strange, huh?
2. horses…I’m scared shitless of them. There again, no reason for it at all. I know that I never grew up around them. That’s still not a reason to be that scared of horses. They’re beautiful animals.
3. something tight around my throat…anything tight or close to it, feels like I’m being choked. Another strange thing. Again, why would something like this bother me? who knows
4. my back to a main door…That’s a big No-No! I never, ever sit with my back to the main door. Don’t ask me to explain that. There’s just no reason as to why.
5. Jack Daniels…I don’t drink much, rarely actually, but I do enjoy the taste of J.D. straight, not mixed. Heavens, don’t mix!!
Now, my husband, has come up with an explanation to this. Bless his heart. Here’s what he thinks:
If you believe in reincarnation, it would make perfect sense.
He says that in a previous life, I was a gunslinger & gambler in the old west. I was hung while on my horse. Being a gambler & gunslinger, you never ever sit with your back to the door. If you did that, you wouldn’t be able to see who would be coming in & the possibilities of being shot in the back are endless. Now, everybody knows that gamblers, gunslingers like their whisky. That explains that.
So, the entire explanation works out like this: being hung on my own horse would explain the fear of horses, heights & something tight around my throat. Liking straight whiskey & not sitting with my back to the door, well everybody knows that a gambler/gunslinger likes & never does that.
So, that’s my little rant about my strange phobias. Please feel free to comment on them.
