Irrational /out/ fears

>>423345
I wouldn't mind being abducted by aliens.
More scared of other humans.

>>423349

Yeah I used to think it would be kinda fun until I went deeper into AA phenomenon. Real or not, it appears to seriously fuck people up.

Also, The Forth Kind.

So yeah, fuck aliens. People I can deal with.

I once camped on a small flat section of a pretty steep hill. On the way up there I encountered two big red deer, and because the trail was pretty much the only place to walk on because of the steepness, both me and the deer became somewhat stressed. On of them turned around and walked back the way it came, the other ran past me.

That night I feared being trampled by them, seeing as there was not much place for them to move, and I was pretty hidden (not in a tent), so they could step on me by mistake.


Other than that I don't think I have ever feared getting lost while /out/. I guess that may be because I have never been in a situation that turned dangerous because of getting lost, always kinda knew what direction to go in order to find something eventually, so I have only been lost for 3-4 hours at a time.
Other times I should have been afraid was once I camped one degree above freezing. There was wet snow everywhere, all my clothes were wet, I did not have a fire, no skis, and one heavy backpack. I used 5 or 6 hours walking back to civilization on a track that usually takes me 2 hours at most, the whole way there it rained. The only two things my mind was on was getting from the cover of one tree to the next, where I would rest (because walking with no skis in 1+ meter of wet snow is exhausting), and also thinking about the hot food I would eat at home.
Thinking back at it, it probably was a very dangerous situation, but being afraid didn't cross my mind at the time.

Skinwalkers are way too spooky. I'm surprised there hasn't been a serious horror movie about the subject yet. I watched the trailer for the Skinwalker Ranch movie, but I heard it was terrible so I never bothered watching it.

>>423388

Op here. I recommend the book "Hunt for the skinwalker". Don't ever watch the movie.

Mine is deep sinking feeling I'm not going to have any kind of adventure while I'm out camping and shit. Everything is so fucking mundane. All predatory animals stay the fuck away from people 99% of the time. There's nothing really to do since everyone owns every square inch of land. You can't build a cabin unless you own the land. Even then it is just a cabin. Can't eat any of the fish anymore due to pollution. Game is fairly scarce most of the time because everything has a specific season to hunt in and when that comes millions of hunters on four wheelers and ATVs tear up everything and the place sounds like a war zone with firearm going off everywhere and no animals to be seen because they are scared shitless. Can't simply hike out in the middle of nowhere since people will shoot you if you cross onto their property. The government managed parks and public lands are chop full of every other tourist, pseudo-adventurer, and faux survivalist. Every fucking sky you see is littered with criss-crosses of jetliner trails. There's nearly always some man made thing making noises somewhere in the distance.

At least when I was a kid out camping and stuff more than half that shit didn't exist. No pollution warnings on streams, no jetliner trials, no subdivisions where there was once endless fields, no 500 "no trespassing" signs on every property line. Actual mountains instead of leveled mountain tops. No frack drilling rig making noise 3 miles away. You could really be /out/ and enjoy nature for what it was.

Well, I guess that isn't all that irrational now that I typed it out and read it, since it really is happening. I guess all that's left is to go to some pagan festival, get drunk, and fuck bitches.

>>423367

made me chuckle.

>>423415
Where do you live? I'm in America and I've never seen any of the pollution signs.

When I was younger, the sight of a Grey would make me freeze up and feel deathly cold. I'd feel most horrifying sense of dread I can ever imagine.

I used to sleep with my back against the wall, staring out the big window in my bedroom, praying not to see them appear.

The fear slowly went away, and now I only feel a small amount of fear, but it makes me wonder why I used to have that condition.

The first time I went camping alone, it came back somewhat. I slept under a tarp, and could see outside through either end of my triangular "tent". Kept picturing one of their faces appearing. I kept myself comfortable by doing what I used to do to overcome the fear: I pictured attacking them, killing them, turning my flight into fight.

I keep a shotgun or a revolver on me when I camp. Shotgun for car camping, handgun for backpacking. And when I tell people "it's just in case of muggers or wild animals," I'm not telling the whole truth.

>>423380
im going to second this.

and just now it made me remember something from my childhood

my grandpa showed me this weird foot? print on a large ant hill out back in the woods behind his house. it kinda looked like a bear track but it's pad was more round and no claw barks at all. where it's tows should have been there were 3 1.5" wide perfectly round evenly spaced 2" deep indention's.

Never seen anything like it before or since.

he could have been just fucking with me but he never really was that kind of guy.

> not welcoming loli vampires
i bet it feels like an orgasm when they bit you

>creepin outside my tent

I camped at birth manitou island earlier this year and in the dead of night, roughly 3am let's say I woke up to shuffling outside my tent and breathing.

Naturally I freaked out, grabbed my flashlight and yelled at whoever it was out there. As I turned in the light there was a deer standing face to face with me almost pressed up against my tent.

Learned on the boat ride home from another camper that the deer there are starving and so they go to places where you take a piss and eat the dirt for the nutrients from said piss. Really freaked me out, feel kinda bad though for the deer.

Fuckin a. When I was camping as a 6 year old I had a nightmare that alaliens abducted me from my tent. For years after that I was fucking terrified by the thought of them. They still unsettle me to a degree bit shit gets weird staring up at the night ssky while camping.

That's my only fear is waking up to something being at my tent, and I'm pretty much a fish in a barrel (even though I have a gun) I'm in a finite space that they can fuck up. The bad part is I've been hiking before in total darkness and when I came to my campsite I saw what looked like a dwarf just standing there and I literally felt an impending sense of doom and I froze up hard.

Turned out to be a bush

Whenever I go to take a piss/shit at night with my head lamp I'm always afraid I'll turn my head and illuminate something fucked up leering at me from behind a bush or something and won't be able to do anything because I'm pissing/shitting.

>>424481
This fucking this. While pissing I'm constantly scanning the woods. While zipping up I always fear looking back up and seeing a BEK standing in front of me.

I usually hammock camp and the last time I went tent camping I found a black widow that had been hiding in there while it was packed up in my garage. Now I'm fucking terrified of lethal spiders hiding in my gear.

of course, totally irrational. I know I wouldn't worry about it.

Aliums for me too. Surprised so many people share that fear. There's gotta be some psychology behind what people are afraid of, anyone know some non-bullshit reasons why we're afraid of greys?

>>423345
Skinwalkers
They also make the best copypastas, but generally the idea of powerful-capable creatures that live /out/, (and worse, can follow us /in/) is too spooky for me.

>>424913
there is a theory that greys and abductions are just your memories from when you were an infant. you had imperfect senses and no context yet to properly process the data. later in your life something triggers the long dormant parts of your brain containing those memories. your adult brain is full of information and uses it to give context to the sensory data. so your memories of being born, doctor's visits, being picked up, etc are now Alien abduction.

next time you think you see aliens. just Ayy LMAO and ignore.

That's just sleep paralysis m8. I get that shit all the time. I once woke up to this creepy bald chick kneeling next to my bed and staring at my face only inches away. If it ever happens again, the best way to come out of paralysis is to close your eyes and focus on moving a single finger or toe.

>>424944
The time loss in the first one is what creeped me out. And the second one the reaction of the animals is what creeped me out then. So I dunno.

>>424947

EVERY time I wake up or even move my dog gets so excited because it thinks we're gonna get up and play, and the fact that I woke up so frantically and it didn't even phase the dog and it just looked at me and went back to sleep blew my fucking mind

I have no further comments.

>>424947
The next time it happens just lay there and watch them for a while. Sleep paralysis hallucinations are usually static. I saw a "grey" once who was tall and skinny and just stood in the corner of my room staring at the wall. I laid there looking at it to see if it would ever turn around but it never did. I probably would have shit the bed if it did.

>>424944

Well
>inb4 it happens again
but if it does I'll see what happens. It didn't linger like yours did though, it just wasn't there the second I oriented my head towards it

>>424952
The classic hallucination is a witch or demon sitting on your chest and choking you or standing at the foot of your bed and holding your legs down. In rare cases people see things walk through walls or crawl out from under their bed. The recurring theme is an invasion of space and oppression.

well you just spooked me for the night, but I'm glad there is a explanation for me seeing shit. I was freaked out

>>424953
It usually only happens for me when I'm extremely tired or take naps in awkward positions like on a couch with my feet higher than my head. If you have the balls, you can take some melatonin before bed and try to induce more vivid hallucinations. Once you understand they're just dreams and can't hurt you it's pretty exhilarating. No horror movie can compare to the fucked up shit your own subconscious mind can come up with.

i've seen those before

nature's ultimate trolls

i get sleep paralysis a lot if i have a nightmare, never any spooky shit in the room. waking up already scared as fuck only to find out you can't move is some scary shit

apparently during REM your body puts out a chemical to limit muscle movement so if you wake during REM it can take a bit for your body to wake up

Wow i sure as fuck am glad i do not have these fears.

I did fear aliens, Never feared bigfoot figure he would just run the fuck away or get shot at.

This fear of pissing in the dark and all. Can easily be avoided, Dont take a flashlight. That sounds crazy i know but think about it without the flashlight you feel a lot less visible and your eyes and ears are wide open to everything.

What i do fear is ill hear a noise shoot and accidentally kill someone i would be very sad.

Suddenly grandmothers old acoustic guitar fall back with quite some force making the strings cling/ring (tried to recreate the fall but wasn't the same force). Have been standing on the floor resting against a guitar amp for months without being touched. Grandmother had passed away a few days or so before that.

After the funeral, riding in car with mom and grandfathers brother (I very rarely meet him). He say he was sitting alone on the top floor in his house when suddenly hearing 3 knocks on window. He thought it was spoopy and that it might have been grandma saying good bye... Mom turns to me "haven't you experienced anything, Anon?

me and a friend had a weird experience with a light that looked like it was at the top out a mountain one night. I started flashing it and it at that point lifted off the mountain into the air. At that point my friend made sure I stopped flashing it.

my fear is pissing at night. Just not very alert, it's cold as hell, and I always feel like some animal is going to ambush me. I usually piss all over my self flailing the flashlight around me looking around

Sleep paralysis is one of the most horrifying things I've ever experienced, and I lived in a haunted house once.

One night I was in my bedroom, and out of nowhere I just got this really bad feeling, like I'm not sure how to explain it, but there was a strangeness emanating from the corner of the room. It bugged me all night, and at the time I was typically going to bed around 10PM, but I felt nervous so I stayed up late and played video games, I guess hoping it would go away. Eventually I gave up and went to sleep, but I couldn't shake the feeling of these bad vibes coming from that corner of the room. I woke up later that night facing the wall my bed is next to, lying with my back to the corner, and I was absolutely terrified, like I was a Jew hiding in the attic in WW2, seriously scared man. I just lay still for a really long time, trying not to breathe too loudly or deeply, like I'm a little kid hiding from the boogeyman. I guess I fell asleep eventually, but the next thing I know I feel like I'm being lifted out of my bed, to the point where I can't feel any contact with my mattress, blanket or pillows or anything. I feel like I'm just floating above the bed, but I can't feel my body at all, it's more like my consciousness or soul is being pulled out, while my body is still below me. Not long after I'm back in my body, in bed, but I'm not sure if I can move or not, and I didn't want to try, because all I can feel is something staring at my back as I lay in bed facing the wall, and I'm overcome by the most intense fear I've ever felt in my entire life, like a bear is at my back, ready to rip me apart in the middle of the night. It took me a really long time, but I eventually rolled over and flicked on my lamp, fully expecting some a samsquanch or something ready to eat me, but of course there was nothing.

Honestly, I'm still not sure if it was sleep paralysis or something worse, but to me it felt evil, so I'm not convinced.

>>425775
I lived in Port Gamble Washington when I first found /x/ and got into astral projection and lucid dreaming. That didn't end well...

>>425775
just sleep paralysis, happens to me when i stay up to late
happened to me twice in a night once when i was younger, thought i was being abducted by aliens lol

after it happens a few times you get used to it and the fear goes away
have found it can lead to lucid dreaming, hypnagogic hallucinations which are a lot of fun

>>425775
Any interesting stories from the haunted house?

>>425775
Though I've never had any sleep paralysis hallucinations (fingers crossed), probably because I always sleep on my side facing the wall, but I recognise that sense of fear. It feels like when you know you got someone behind you, except more intense by orders of magnitude.

I've only had it happen when I've been exceptionally tired at the time of going to bed

OP here. Thanks for sharing. Thats some weird shit right there.

I've never had an abduction experience that I know of but i've seen ufos several times. Not saying they were aliems, just weird lights in the sky that I couldn't identify.

I used to have dreams that I was being "taken" by a tall thin man and a short fat man though. Used to wake up with blood pouring out of my nose and bloody handprints all over the walls from where i'd been thrashing about in my sleep. I also developed an odd birthmark on my side when I was about 13.

Weird.

>>426013
>>426013

Me again I had a weird experience about 6 months ago which I had forgotten about until I started thinking about my previous post.

>be asleep
>wake up slowly
>something feels very wrong
>choking
>cant breathe
>wake up fully, gasping for air
>look across room and see "grey" alien fade out and vanish
>breath returns to normal and I start gulping air

Now THAT was fucking scary. I cant believe I forgot about it.

Also, sleep paralysis is no big deal. It serves a purpose in that it stops you from physically acting out your dreams while you are asleep. Sometimes however you wake up and the mechanism is still activated so you instantly go into freak-out mode. Often times the dream function will still be active too so hallucinations often go hand in hand with sleep paralysis. Next time it happens to anyone, stay calm, breathe and it will be gone in seconds.

Not a lot scares me when /out/ especially at altitude but one time I was solo hiking in the sierras laying in my tent changing into warmer layers when I heard heavy footsteps come right up to the tent. I had the rain fly on and couldnt see wtf it was so I zipped up the tent door and laid on my stomach peeking out the vestibule hole.. some close footsteps then something big flat and heavy steps right on my foot through the tent. I jerk my foot and yelled startling it and I heard it run off. I told myself it was a bear for a while but when I jerked my foot I swear I heard a persons startled noise and not an animals which is usually just a fast breath out, and the cadence of the running sounded more human like .....anyways I made a spear that night with a walking stick, knife and para cord. Blew up my fishing tube halfway to sleep under and strung monofilament booby traps all around my camp. Slept half awake thinking some crazy person was loose in the hills.....

freaked me out to say the least.

I'm 19 and still sleep back to the wall with a gun within reach. I remember everything, but in a weird way, so where you remember that awesome horror movie, I remember some maniac trying to kill me. to make that worse, my right eye is super fucked and causes me to see breif forms and movements that are not really there. and just for the icing on the cake, for the last 6 years, I have had super realistic (like just normal life, but in a different universe) dreams that completely fuck up my sleeping pattern because I no longer know for certain if I am awake or not anymore.

These types of threads rattle me to my core, but they also release this primitive emotion that I can't describe.

Gun owner anon here, I gotta agree. Anon, if you know you have trouble telling reality from fantasy, you should NOT own a gun. Please be a responsible adult.

Please consider.

>>426362
>>426387

I live alone (for obvious reasons), whenever I have company over I make sure to lock my gun away and warn them about waking me up should they spend the night. I might be a nut case, but I do try to be a responsible one.

Yeah sorta. I was living in this place off campus my last semester of college, nice house about 5 miles from the school up on the side of a mountain, it was a 2 story house, but it was built on the side of a hill, so the top floor was at ground level next to the garage while the bottom floor at the base of the hill, it was actually really nice, plus it had a long-ass driveway, maybe almost a 1/4 of a mile. I was living there with 5 other people, 3 of us upstairs, 3 of us downstairs, with my bedroom on the main floor. And for a little more background, a year prior to moving in a kid OD on heroin or something crazy in one of the upstairs rooms, not that it really bothered me.

So, one night I'm driving home in the middle of winter, maybe 4-5 inches of snow on the ground, with the girl I was seeing at the time, who was still at least a little drunk/high from our earlier shenanigans, and as I'm rolling up my long spook-city driveway, she FREAKS THE FUCK OUT, yelling that something big was up in a tree staring right at her, or something like that, which I just assumed was an owl or some big bird and kind of disregarded her. I pull up to the house and the driveway is empty, which isn't too odd since everyone else sometimes sleeps over with whoever, but tonight it looked like I was the only one home. We get in the house and she's calmed down a lot, probably since I didn't really care in the first place, and we eventually get to bangin'. I pull out and blow a load on her stomach, and the instant I finish what sounds like a little girl with a man chasing her runs down the hall from the other bedrooms all the while banging on the wall of my room as they run through the livingroom into the kitchen and I assume out the door, since the outside light flicks on, which is not an automatic. As soon as the noise dies down, the latch to my door pops and opens just a crack, pausing for a moment as it slowly swung open into my room.

>>426461
So I'm kneeling on my bed, dick in hand, cum all over this girl, totally frozen as all this goes down. After a minute or so of staring at the door, I get up to look around, scared as shit, but there's nobody there, and no cars in the driveway.

I lived on the side of a mountain with a huge driveway and 0 neighbors with a steep hill heading toward the road covered in thorn bushes, and this all happened with a few inches of snow on the ground in the dead of winter, so it wasn't any meddling kids or anything, I don't think. This wasn't the last thing that happened either, but it was the biggest. I'm pretty sure the girl I was seeing at the time was the trigger for a lot of the stuff that happened, since it started around the same time I began bringing her over, and she would complain about feeling creeped out when getting up to go to the bathroom at night, which coincidentally is located across from the dead kid's old room.

Few other times I'd wake up late at night and hear what sounded like knocking in the hall headed to my room, progressively getting closer until it was outside my door. I'd wake up in the morning and the door leading to the bottom floor, which was in my room, would be wide open and my bedroom door would be closed, which is the opposite of how I leave it at night. My roommates would complain about lights flickering and cabinets opening and stuff too, nothing bad though, at least nothing malicious. Last thing that happened was when I was packing my things to head home, and I've got Dexter playing on my PC as I pack. So I'm stuffing things into boxes and whatnot and a man's voice says "Good Bye", very softly, almost like it's in my head, which I don't think much of at first, but it felt kind of strange, and I've seen this show plenty of times and I didn't recognize the voice, so I look up just to see a blank screen, since the episode I was watching had ended at some point earlier.

>>not average spooky shit but just sounds and shapes getting louder and expanding

I used to have weird, abstract dreams like that. They fortunately stopped years ago (no idea how old I was) but they were some of the most terrifying dreams I experienced despite sounding silly.

There were just things like large spheres which were simultaneously big and small, like viewing something incredibly large from afar. They were also both loud and quiet at the same time and there would be voices which would shout my name, but they would seem far away. Like my dad would just shout, as if up the stairs, angrily my name as if to call me down. Except I was asleep and there were no stairs.

Dreams are weird and there's stuff which makes absolutely no sense which terrifies me. I don't think it's anything paranormal though like a lot of stuff in this thread, it's just fucked up stuff in the brain.

>>426469
I hope you thanked him for his hospitality. My house had a shitty asshole who liked to leave things open to get stolen, bang around the attic, scare the piss out our dog, smoke in-doors and scared the crap out of me at night for the hell of it from time to time.

The picture is all green because I have a green back on my iphone4 which causes terrible green glare when I use the flash

I have standard paranoias like: bears, people who are up to no good, etc. But a newly discovered one is the mysterious /x/ shit that might be going on innawoods. I read one of those Missing 411 books and even though nothing like that has ever come close to happening to me, and I won't stop camping/hiking, it makes me a tiny bit nervous.

For anyone who hasn't heard of the books, some retired cop has done a shitload of research into the innawoods missing persons cases that defy conventional explanations. Creepy.

I had the same dream as a kid, Two sphere like rocks, one was infinitely big and the other infinitely small but somehow existing in the same view. My eyes would be wide open and i would be screaming but asleep at the same time. weird

>>426208

THE ONLY time I ever thought I saw a real unidentifiable flying object(s) it was just like this, white dots flying randomly, almost as if they were dogfighting but then flying away in formation, no appearance of blinking or flashing as you would expect from birds. They gave me the impression they were quite small, even from the distance, like washing machine size max.

Weirdest thing it wasn't even innawoods, it was above a suburban are in England called Crayford.

Also, I remember what direction the flew off in formation, exactly South. My dad also remembers seeing something extremely similar nearby, in danson park, many years ago.

I used to have a recurring dream about being shown things that were huge and tiny simultaneously. In the dream the beings that were showing me these objects seemed to delight in my discomfort of not being able to understand how such objects could even exist. I have a friend who used to get night terrors and he experiences the same object size distortions. I can still see those things in my head, both huge and small at the same time...how the fuck does that even work? I havent had those dreams since I was about 3 years old though. It seems to happen to people when they are young so that makes me wonder if its something to do with brain development?

I still see lines on occasion too, all over my room if I wake suddenly. It must be a common hypnogogic phenomenon, something to do with how our brains are wired.

Well dude, I'm sure there's a gorillion explanations for what it all was, but that stuff did really happen.

I do think it was a SPOOK though, since the following year I went up to school to visit, and some guys I knew that moved into the house were throwing a party, so I went to hang out. I'd never told very many people about what happened, but I asked one of them if anything weird had happened to them in the house, and he got this sudden serious look on his face as he told me about this little girl they would hear sometimes, so something definitely wasn't kosher there. The only strange thing about the whole situation is that the person who'd OD'd the year before I moved in was a 20 something year old guy, so I don't know where a little girl fits into the history of the house.

>In the dream the beings that were showing me these objects seemed to delight in my discomfort of not being able to understand how such objects could even exist.
Sounds like some ayyys were tormenting you for the lulz

Skinwalkers/wendigos
Mountain lions
Bears
Crazy meth-heads
Actual satanists or crazies that are going to keep me captive and torture me or some shit

But mainly things that are going to eat me and wear my skin, and use it to eat the rest of my friends/family

Dreams like that are the worst. It reminds me of when I was 12 and I had this weird dream that's difficult to describe. It was basically like little dots slowly moving over a black background and more of them kept popping up and eventually they just formed this messy pattern and I felt intense fear out of nowhere and started screaming so loud my mum was trying to wake me up for 10 minutes. I could hear her but didn't understand and still felt petrified.

Sounds more like he's been reading some HP Lovecraft than anything else.

Also, what a hack this Missing 411 David Paulides go. What a joke.

>>423345
Dont even joke about saucers.. me and my friend saw one one late night while outside a cabin.. still cant comprehend that it was real. that fucked me up good for a while..
Cant even understand ppl being afraid of animals or people.. i would not mind getting stabbed by a crazy person while /out/ as long as the aliens dont abduct me

>>426018
Pretty much impossible to stay calm. We're most vulnerable while sleeping and we know it so when you wake up unable the move and possibly hallucinating your instincts take over and activate panic mode

Hey Sprinks we're goin camping this weekend, wanna come?

>>424950
>we tried to contact anon, but there were no further comments at the present time

Well, in most reported cases it seems the aliens bring the people back. There haven't been any human mutilation cases right?

This incident is similar to OPs nightmare

I do not speak for everyone but IMHO irrational fears are a factor of two. Your brain and your T.V.

We have all seen movies, series or any kind of T.V. show for that matter. Which ALL use audio cues to trigger a reaction in the viewers brain to prepare them for either the current scene or the following scene. This is a good portion of what makes watching those T.V. shows fun when done properly.

Now imagine yourself /out and about, alone at night in your tent. And you hear that rustling sound we all fear. Normally when we hear things like this it is immediately followed by a series of images. But now that we are alone in our tent /out there with no help at hand we start filling in those images our self. Can you guess where I'm going with this? I'm sure you do.

I'm not here to make fun of you but i do have some advice to help anyone to over come this fear.

Do not do the following if you are not able to find your way in the dark. If you get lost in the dark you really have something to fear.

Also i never encountered any people at night when I'm /out. But tbh I am not rally scared of that.

1: Identify what you are hearing.
2: Find the courage to leave your tent. (if that means arm yourself to the teeth, do it.)
3: Find the source of the sound you are afraid of. And be convinced it was just a simple noise in the woods that you are going to check out. 8/10 you wont find shit. Because you have already convinced yourself that you heard something while there was no strange sound to begin with. 1/10 it is just an animal minding his own business. 1/10 it is branches falling down trough the trees which can sound pretty scary.
4: go back to tent laugh yourself to sleep.

This is how i dealt with my being /out and about fears. The first time i did this was scary as fuck but it also gave me the feeling of inner strength and the knowledge that i could overcome my fears by facing them.

is the movie just "bad" or creepier than the book?

I was 3 years old so definitely not reading lovecraft at that point in my life haha

The movie is terrible and loosely based around the book which is an account of a real investigation into the weird goings-on at the skinwalker ranch.

Inability to compare two unfamiliar object's size is a symptom of dissociative use. Party hard 3 year old?

When I was once doing a fairly isolated hike, I came across a corpse of another hiker, stripped and as it seemed violated. There was no way to contact the police, so I went back. When the night fell I "slept" in the tree, actually rested for 6 hours. Coming back I reported it to the police. That was a fucking stressful hike.

This right here.

Plus,I find it helps if I try to understand WHAT scares me and WHY. We have an instinctual, likely genetically programmed, fear of certain things, because avoidance of those things was necessary for our species survival. We still have those fears today, and project them onto bullshit we make up. examples:

- Werebeasts, monsters, etc. We're afraid of big hairy beasty things, because things like that used to eat us.

-Pale, skinny things with dark eyes: Why is it scary? It's a pretty good indicator of disease, and for thousands of years our only defense against disease was to gtfo.

-Creepy strangers: Contact with strange people in prehistory often meant you got murdered, and your wife and kiddies got stole. (this one is still pretty relevant, actually)

- the darkness, the deep sea, hostile terrain: these are environments where we don't belong.

Also, I always mention this in NOPE threads in /x/... but most fearful situations can be remedied by a liberal dose of pic related.
