Is it normal to be afraid of squirrels?

Absolutely terrified of squirrels. Their tails make me disgusted for the most part. I feel like they are going to attack me. Whenever I am walking by myself, they always seem to be there and I have to take a different route to get to the place I need to be because I do not want to encounter the squirrel. Is this normal and does anyone else share the same fear?

    One of my nicknames that stuck from childhood, is squirrel boy. My girlfriend has called me that for years, because i 'eat like a squirrel' apparently. Haha no biggy.
    I like cute little squirrels from a distance.

  • Get an air rifle, shoot squirrel. Clean and slow cook with cream of mushroom soup. Tan hide and make soft, furry underwear...fear gone. Next question...
    God..I should be a shrink.

    ...Squirrels are cute, but I don't think they'll attack you unless your wearing like, Nut scented cologne/perfume. Then I'm pretty sure you're SoL. Though did you have some horrific accident with squirrels? Why can;t I stop laughing as I type this. But No I'm dead serious, could be some trauma there.

    I suppose any fear that a person has in normal and a big deal to them. Personally though I think sqirrels are gorgeous. I love feeding nuts. We once say a squirrel carrying her baby in her mouth, awww so cute xx

    I use to like them but now I try to avoid them. One of my neighbors fed a squirrel and it would defend it's territory whenever someone walked close by so I don't trust them. I think they're going to attack me or my dog.

    Watch the movie "Ice Age." If you are still afraid of squirrels after that, then there might be something wrong with you...

    I am deathly afraid of racoons. They scare the crap out of me. They are evil. I had one hiss at me and block the doorway to the public bathroom in florida once. Damn..
