Don't ask why: Some people develop curious fears that they themselves recognize as senseless. It's a mistake left over from the psychoanalysis-dominated era in psychotherapy to try to understand. Instead, practice overcoming the fear, usually with a guide. In this video a man works to overcome fear of baked beans http://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=3y8vks3__ca.

Socrates: It's true that, as woody allen said, "the unlived life isn't worth examining". But socrates remains correct: "the unexamined life isn't worth living". Do both. As you overcome your fear with technique, understanding how it arose will lead to deeper introspection--a value in its own right.
