fear of going to banks....
i know it may sound strang but i'm afraid of going to into the bank a little. cause i've seen so many banks being held up on t.v. and it scars the crap out of me sometimes..

here's what happened to me one day, my mom wanted me to get some money out of my acount so i could go shoping. well i get in and there's about four people ahead of me.. i see this guy ahead of me reach into his uper pocket of his jacket and he just kept it there. at this point i'm gettting ready to run if he pulls out a gun.

when he was next to be helped on, he just pulled out his wallet..

so yeah i was scared right then and there

Re: fear of going to banks....
I have to admit that I do have a little bit of a fear of going into the bank and convenience stores for some reason.
I think it may be because I am also afraid that they will be robbed/held up when I'm in there. I just watch everyone while I'm in there and keep my eyes peeled. I know that in a small tonw it's next to never that there's a robbery but in my mind it could happen at any time, especialy while I'm in there.
So, I understand completely where you're coming from!
Beleive me, if I saw that man in the bank with his hand in his jacket I'd probably react similarily to yourself.

Many people suffer from irrational fears. Though, these fears seem completely rational to them.
It is a shame to suffer from these irrational fears, especialy when you and a small group of other people understand how devastating it is.
Beleive me, some fears I've heard of make me laugh, though I know the person who suffers from it is truely in pain.
I guess sometimes we need to relate to them in an irrational state of mind. If that makes any sense. :lol:
