Irrational Fear

「Irrational fear」という表現、知っていますか？何かに根拠のない不安を感じるという意味の表現です。意味は「迷信」に近いですね。日本語でどう訳せばいいかな。

私の「Irrational fear」は、長い間に良いことだけが起こることです。人生には幸運と不運のバランスがあると信じていますので、長い間にずっと幸運だったら、不運がたまってる気がしてしまいます。その不運はどんな形で参るのかなと不安になります。だから日常に小さな不運に遭うと、実は少しホッとします。鍵を置き忘れるとか、口に口内炎が出るとか、それで運のバランスが守られている気がします。

Do you know the phrase "irrational fear"? It means when you feel anxious about something even though there's no basis for you to feel that way about it. It has a similar meaning to "superstition". I wonder how to say it in Japanese.

My "irrational fear" is when only good things happen for a long period of time. I believe that in life, there's a balance (that should be maintained) between good luck and bad luck, so if I'm always experiencing good fortune, it makes me feel like I'm accumulating bad fortune. It makes me anxious of how that bad fortune might manifest in my life. That's why, when I experience small misfortunes in daily life, I actually feel a little relieved. Like when I forget my keys, or when a canker sore appears in my mouth, I feel like the balance of my luck is maintained that way.
