Hey, I'm a few years late on this, but I also have the fear of large inflatable objects. More specifically, the ones you put out in your lawn during holidays. I hate those giant snowmen, santas, reindeer, etc. I have no idea why, though. The thought of me standing next to one makes my hands sweaty and it just freaks me out. Every time I go to Wal-mart or Lowe's during the Christmas season I'm always anxious because those inflatables are EVERYWHERE! I've screamed out loud a couple times because the inflatables are sometimes put up on the top of the shelves and I don't expect them to be there. I hate it. I totally understand, I feel light-headed too if I have to walk past one. I'm also afraid of the really large ones falling over on top of me, ugh. Every Christmas my family always tests our inflatables inside the house to see if they work, and I always hide in my room because I just can't stand the sight of them. The sound of the air compressor freaks me out as well. I guess they just fall into the uncanny valley, but if so, then why aren't more people scared of them? All these years I thought I was the only one who had this fear, I'm glad to hear that someone else has the same problem as I do.
Is it normal that I have a fear of large inflatable objects?
