#weird fears

Jason: wtf I just wanted to know if you wanted to get chili dogs together

songs that glitch and repeat over and over again, like a stuck record, or similar. this was once so bad that i used to be scared of the beginning of the minecraft "blocks" disc because it has that part where it repeats for a few seconds, and i was terrified it'd just keep going.

really large objects, buildings, statues, etc. search up megalophobia for some examples of this. it just disturbs me that some things are so large.

never-ending things, the infinity, things you cant see the end of; such as neverending staircases, minecraft fog, hallways of indefinite length. i've had at least one nightmare i can recall about this.

floating humanoids. perhaps less unsettling to me than others on this list, but i just find pictures of floating/hovering humanoid/human-like figures in the sky so oddly disturbing.

insides of buildings at night. both with or without the lights on are both unsettling in their own ways. similarly; spending long enough in a building that by the time you've exited, it's dark outside.

being in a car at night. i find this one quite paradoxical, because i can find it both extremely peaceful and relaxing, or unsettling and anxiety-inducing depending on what the road is like or the location we're going to. for example; city streets on the way to a fireworks display would be soothing, whereas country roads home from a long trip somewhere we're not familiar would be worrying.

objects on the foggy horizon. this also ties into the fear of large objects. large objects just on the edge of being able to be seen, or people just on the border of the fog. objects you can't quite make out what they are, lights from unknown sources on the other side of the ocean.

lucid dreams. another paradoxical one. these can be super fun and awesome, but it also fills me with a sense of dread; being painfully aware that at any moment, this could turn into a nightmare, some creepy thing could pop out, and i'd be hyper aware of all the things i'm scared of.

hallways with blind corners, especially in the dark. you never know what could pop out, it's so eerie.

empty train station platforms. i suppose this also applies to basically any empty place, as with liminal space, but something about those multiple train platforms, all of them empty, especially in the dark, is so unnerving.

doors without windows you've never been through before. somehow, i feel worried on occasion, when entering through, what if something not what i expected is on the other side?

carpets of snow, when nobody is outside. when it's recently snowed, and nobody has come outside yet, it feels so disturbing. the wind is quiet, things are falling from the sky but making no noise. it as if everyone has disappeared.

music in reverse, or with reversed sections. i'm not sure i need to explain much about this one. the distorted, twisted feeling of reversed music makes me feel so off and disgusted.

caves, mineshafts, enclosed spaces in rock, openings in mountains, etc. no, not the minecraft ones...though i admit they can be scary too.

train tunnels, especially on the underground. the weird sounds of the train, the complete darkness inside, the anticipation of waiting to return to light again; very creepy.

as an extension on 'fear of infinity'; eternal life, never dying. a very tough combination of fears to have is apeirophobia (fear of infinity and by extension, eternal life) and thanatophobia (fear of death and dying); thankfully these fears, whilst still prominent, are nowhere near as bad as they were in my childhood/early teens, where i would have anxiety attacks and lay awake at night crying over such things.

floors with gaps in. stairs with gaps, or wooden planks with holes in the middle where you can see underneath. i'm not sure if it's the fear of falling, or just the unsettling sight of darkness underneath my feet that scares me.

Instinctively I flicked it out towards BF who is allergic so he was freaking out and then some of the body was left in my arm. We had to go to a pharmacy for them to take it out and clean the wound. But the country we were in didn't have pharmacies like we do in Europe so in reality it was just a woman with some tweezers, water and antihistamines.

My arm was purple for about a week. Its the only time I've been stung. Do not recommend.

Ohhh my godddd ANON!!!!! 😩😩😩

This is LITERALLY my nightmare scenario / what I’m the most afraid of. I can see this causing significant long term bee-related trauma for you and you have a much more valid reason to fear them than I do lolol. I’m so sorry this happened to you 😭 Thanks for sharing your (traumatizing lol) experience. ❤️

For anyone confused, anon is responding to a post where you put your weirdest fear in the tags and this is what I put:
