Hello everyone
So I have a rather unusual fear of butterflies and a fear of darkness. The first one is definitely the fear that has confused lots of people in my life. I can’t explain it, for some reason I am just afraid of them. If one even comes near me, I completely freak out. The latter is a rather childish fear of mine. I don’t know why I’m afraid of the darkness specifically, but I know that I can’t stand it.
So what are your fears?
Death, and tight spaces.
Just dying in general.
But hopefully before then I’ll have lived a long and fulfilling life.
Aliens. Ever since I was a child and watched an alien documentary with my parents on yhe history channel, and my dad kept saying that they were going to abduct me. I’ve sat in my room motionless before, watching an unexpected alien movie or show on TV, because I was afraid they would teleport into my room and abduct me. I sometimes still fear the dark because I feel as if aliens might sneak up on me. Im in me 20s now and still feel that tingle when I hear alien music or watch something about aliens alone.
Bears, even though I think they’re really cool. It’s gotten worse over time. I’ve seen a lot of videos of idiots interacting with them, getting too close, leaving food out at campsites, etc.
Plus my ever-declining faith in humanity, it means the likelihood of a bear I would encounter being made more dangerous because of other people is high.
I used to want to go to the Adirondack mountains, but after reading reviews about one of the main camp areas being overrun with black bears (due to eating human food) that’s no longer on my bucket list.
Even on a fairly recent camping trip with a friend with equal knowledge about bear safety, they left a plate out with some meat grease overnight. We heard all sorts of sounds and the plate was far from the eating area in the morning. Like can you not leave a welcome present out for the apex predator, please?
Knowing I’m dying as I actively die is probably my greatest fear. -Not everyone gets to be as lucky as those people on the OceanGate sub. -They really had to shove their privilege in our faces. -I say good riddance to bad rubbish!
