(Ir)rational Fear # 2

I have a fear of burning myself. Like I don't like to use the oven cause I'm afraid I'll hurt myself. Even getting stuff out of the toaster oven, I do it super carefully.  There is a reason though. See when I was little, when I was 3, years old we went down to camp at Doheny beach with some friends. Of course we had fires at night. The next morning, I was playing near it and fell in. Like literally into the coals and the metal firepit. Miraculously, I survived with only I few scars on my arms. today you can hardly see them. It could have been so much worse. But to this day I have an innate fear of buning myself...
