Reply #31: Actually a couple of those you listed make sense to me [View All]

Being afraid of spiders to me is an understandable irrational fear to have because some spiders, including ones that are very small and hard to see, can be quite deadly. Being in a crowd is another I can understand. I myself, when younger, was nearly trampled. I just can't see having a fear of rabbits. Unless there has been an up ticking of rabbit attacks in the last couple of years that I am not aware of. :D

Of course in all seriousness I understand many irrational fears can come from traumatic events suffered as a child. So perhaps this woman had a very bad encounter with a rabbit when she was younger and that may have scared her for life. Of course just typing that made me crack up and :rofl: Sorry I can't help it.
