Someone I know is literally afraid of bananas. This fear is clearly irrational. What's it going to do to you? Bite you? Make fun of you? Eat you? No. Quite the opposite. You can do all of those things to it, and it remains helpless.
I question how much of this fear my friend has is real and how much of it is an act. It's hard to know.
If something makes your heart rate go up, is it a fear? For my friend, bananas does this. For me, things like public speaking and being home alone at night do that. For me, that is something worth being afraid of.
