This is why I feel a bit of guilt from laughing at Pickle Girl and Cotton Ball Lady from The Maury Show but I still laugh becuase they can never scare me inside a studio like that. Their missing sun and rain. Maury just couldn't cut it.
I have a confession to make. I have Iridophobia (fear of rainbows) I have all my life. Only real rainbows though. Pictures and ones painted on walls only make me cringe and put me in discomfort. I used to be scared of pictures of rainbows when I was younger. I had my share of being made fun of when at school a rainbow showed up and I freaked out and cried. Than kids were drawing rainbows on their hands and flashing them at me. They screamed "Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow girl!"
I had an experience as a child when I saw double rainbows on the front lawn. They seemed very close (around 20 feet) so it frightened me but I was still scared of them but seeing them that close a curious fear turned into a phobia.
Now-a-days I keep it under control. It's not so bad but if that close double rainbow thing happens again I would probably go into shock.
I can look at them from inside. They don't scare me when I'm inside but they do if I'm outside especially if I'm by myself I will panic and look for shelter like a bomb is gonna fall.
I'm scared of them becuase there mysterious and weird. The way they re-appear and evaporate. When I little their was the same rainbow in the same spot in our back yard that would keep re-spawning in the same area every time the weather would go into sun and rain. I remember getting an adrenalin rush from spraying rainbows with a spray bottle. Another weird thing was I would quickly touch them while the spray lasted. Than I'd cry and rub my hands on the deck railing...but...later on when I sprayed near the railing I saw rainbow hand prints! I'm not fucking kidding. I remember this shit when it happened. I knew the difference between reality and imagination.
Their HUGE. They look like their watching you. The way their a big massive arc stretching over entire cities.
It's not just rainbows. Things in the sky make me become submissive. I can't sleep under the stars knowing that their giant balls of fire bigger than our sun and more powerful than any nuclear weapon on earth. I also fear Jupiter and Saturn.
This video freaks me out but truly amazes me. It blows my mind.
