This may sound funny im scared of dead animals ?

Question

when i see one like a bird or something i stand there and hold my breath and look away and i feel so scared like i want to run away but i cant or i yell when someone likes hey there a dead animal why am i like that when i see a dead animal

Answer 1

I have the same problem. It is a phobia that a lot of people don't understand. The best I can explain it is that I see an animal as a being when it is alive. When I see the body, I do not see the same creature that once was alive and that can be scary. I'm not one of those people that wants to hold my cat after it dies because I know the body is not my cat anymore, but rather an empty shell. There may have been something in your childhood that caused you to feel this way, like seeing your dead pet unexpectedly or something, or maybe it's unexplainable. Just ask people to respect how you feel and usually they will.

Answer 2

Why you are I don't know, my wife is the same way.  Maybe you have repressed memories of a dead pet or something like that from childhood.  Anyways it could be worse I seen a lady on some talk show that was total freaked out by balloons.  

Answer 3

everyone's afraid of something.
