Hi, /x/!
Tell me your fears. What are you afraid of?

It can be simple, complex, irrational, anything!

I'm working on a horror/comedy cartoon pitch and figured it would be interesting to look at some people's weird fears for research.

It'll really help me out, thanks!

So /x/, what are you afraid of?

Forgot to mention:

I'll start with one of my weird fears: being boiled alive in a bathtub. Something about feeling and watching your skin bubble off, revealing all your gross bits underneath is just the worst. And I hate the heat, too. Just a bad time overall 0/10.

not homework, just figured polling real people out there, specifically in a place like /x/, would be more of use than google telling me "idk, spiders, lol".

my greatest fear is becoming depressed again. It terrifies me thinking that I could relapse so easily and fall back into that awful pit of despair and anxiety. my sister and I always joke that we never relax or lay around on the couch because we're always outrunning the bad thoughts and stopping means they catch up. It's funny tho cause deep down we aren't joking
>>
>>19195035
Hey i'm a fellow lover of production and i'd love to hear more about this project in the timeline. Please post updates or something
(I also did some really small time voice work in the past if you need it)
But plug aside, I'd say skin disease and the open ocean. The thought of germs or fungi or anything like that on my bare skin is enough to make my skin crawl. Just being around known places that house germs can put me on edge. I've even been freaked out enough to wash my hands for over 15 minutes with water at an almost unbearable temperature. Another one is the open ocean but that's a little more cliche. Good luck!

>>19195047
You mean kinda like that movie effect in some older films where they melt wax off a fake limb or face to show it getting vaporized?

You are very vulnerable when you can protect yourself, when you sleep at night in the darkness.

Been hearing knocks and whispers.
>>
>>19195146
This reminds me, i've always had this weird thing with vision, my eyes, and my teeth. I dream a lot that i'll lose an eyeball or my teeth will fall out. I think it's just a fear of irreparable bodily damage.
>>
>>19195179
teeth falling out is very common dream, google for meaning

>>19195113
Hey man thanks for the interest, and thank you for sharing some of your fears. At the point in the process we're at with our pitch, it feels a little inappropriate for me to share too much about the actual process, especially at a place like 4chan, haha. I'm sure my team members would find it a little funny.

But for now all i'll tell you that it's a horror/comedy set in 60's arizona!

As a super-long time /x/-phile, if things DO go well like they have been, I'll be back to talk about it.

>>19195120
Yeah. Also inspired by police reports of finding people dead in the bathtub with all their skin floated off. Nasty stuff!
>>
OP those are some cool pics, source?
>>
Failure. Burning alive. Heroin and alcohol (in recovery). Forgetting to take my meds and psychotic episodes (schizoaffective).

Despite all of that I'm pretty well adjusted. As far as the paranormal goes, aliens truly freak me the fuck out.
>>
>>19195215
Read my name, I know it is. I used to spend a bunch of time in dream threads here and reading articles on dreaming. I just feel like mine is stemmed from a real fear.
>>19195251
Right-on right-on, I've got aspirations to go into that field so it'd be super interesting to hear about. Deserts can be pretty spooky surreal places so I dig the locale, I know a friend who grew up in a miliitary family with tons of spoops to speak of from when hed live in deserts, nevada in specific but whatever.

Dannnng that is gross where do you even see something like that? Besides on this website and many others on the internet.

The first GIF is from Wexler Films's "Science of Light", an educational animation/video from the 1960s.

I'm scared of people looking at me. It terrifies me when I can feel another person, or even animal, looking at me.
>>
I'm afraid of space.

Not only the thought of being trapped in it, but even the planets and celestial bodies themselves.

I cannot look at a picture of the Earth, moon, sun, any other planet, nebulae, etc. without feeling uneasy and creeped out.

Saturn, with it's rings, is easily the creepiest
>>
>>19195035
on a more grounded level, im a claustrophobe who gets freaked out by little.. wriggly things.. like tendrils of a similar size and shape to, say, weed whacker string

on an existential level, im terrified by the thought of nothingness and unfeeling. limbo scares the shit out of me, id take unending pain over nothingness
>>
Windows, heights, and most of all ghosts
Never seen one in real life other than what I think are called "shadow people" and still there's one that is recurring in my dreams
>>
>>19195334
Jupiter scares me. I saw this SCP youtube video about some machine heading for earth accidently collides with jupiter and gets stuck in the eye in jupiter. But it keeps getting bashed about and is repairing itself faster than its taking damage, evolving. The thought of the video really creeped me out and now everytime I think of jupiter I get scared.
>>
Am I the only one who finds it really satisfying when someone just gives you fucking sources straight up? All the information! I mean thats why I like collecting files so much: information. Thanks OP!
>>
>>19195308
If this thread is up long enough I'll be able to say a thing or two, we've got an important meeting regarding this pitch later this week.
I spent a week in Arizona every year until i was about 16, and without a doubt, I can say that it is the weirdest state in America. So many legends brewing, weird spots, wild locales, and just weird people in general.

As for the bathtub stuff, I originally found that type of situation under a "top 20 most horrifying 911 calls" article or something. And LOTS of old people die in bathtubs, for some reason. Police reports tend to be slightly too descriptive, creating some gross imagery.
>>
Really pointy teeth. Unholy needle like tooth.
>>
>>19195344
Jupiter is pretty fucking scary as well.

I don't even know what it is that creeps me out but it's pretty intense.

I fear flat earth threads will take over /x/ and old /x/ will be exiled.

I'll share another fear.
Hiking or walking in the woods at night is fantastic until you shine your light into the darkness and something absolutely awful looks back at you.

>>19195035
desu, im afraid of going to jail, and losing my parents.
>>
>>19195353
probs cus of how big it is and active the storm is. I'm sure there's something inherently unsettling about it in general, probs why Kubrick choce it in 2001 A Space Odyssey
>>19195351
Right on man can't wait to hear more. And ooh yeah they do, that's pretty cool though. I think it's really interesting when a fear has a real finite instance you can take from. My deep see fear stemmed from this cheesey show in Animal Planet called Lost Tapes which i'd watch as a preteen. I was fine with open water until I saw "real" clips of the oklahoma octopus and other lake and ocean monsters.

Anotherthing thats not really a fear of mine as a skeptic but was always a creepy thought was like. Being blindsided by whatever supernatural phenomena happens. Like in movies in books theres foreshadowing, signs, maybe smaller instances before the main event. Even in some of Lovecrafts tamer stories thered be a sketch factor before the spook factor. But like, what if you're just lounging around snd outta nowhere some being comes out of some random room and bam now you're being attacked and bang, you're dead before you can even comprehend what's going on. Like a snake striking a mouse.
>>
I'm afraid of:
1. Horses eating me
2. People breathing on me
3. Being burned alive
>>
>>19195035
Another anon mentioned it, but the ocean. Water in general, actually, even a pool or bathtub. I don't have a problem showering (I'm also a bit of a germ-a-phobe), but like, sitting? water, or pools of water? Light, running water is fine, just not when it's a large amount in an enclosed space, not going anywhere.

On that topic, open spaces in general, with no foreseeable landmarks of any kind, or hills, or any sort of distinct flora.
I also hate bridges with a passion, they make me extremely uncomfortable, and I'm always terrified it's going to fall out from under me or fall on top of me.

When I was little, I had a fear of porta potties, not really sure why, they just creeped me out. Maybe how dirty they always are, and spiders, and the smell.

Mild fear of saliva, but less of a fear and more of something that disgusts me. My own, my partner's, anybody's. One time, in high school, a friend of mine saved saliva in his mouth for ~5 minutes before giving me a huge lick up my forearm, and I started puking and almost fainted. Blood, or other bodily fluids, don't phase me, however. No sloppy kisses for me lol
>>
>>19195437
dude, FUCK horses. I hate horses. They're the absolute worst.
>>
I'm scared of men.

Yes, you heard me right, and I'll admit to being female on 4chan just this once to explain it.

Men are strong. Even the weakest among you are stronger than women who work out and weightlift. I'm terrified of angry men because you could hurt me so badly and because I've been physically picked up and thrown around by guys before. My brother was 11 the first time he beat me in a play fight, and it was terrifying.

What's more, compared to women guys are absolutely not in control of their emotions. Sure you say you are, and act all stoic, but here's the truth, guys: You, all of you, are capable of killing me with your bare hands if I piss you off.

Don't worry about it, that's extremely understandable and valid. Carry pepper spray with you at all times. It's a great backup to 911.

>The weakest among you are stronger than women who workout and weightlift
noooooo lol, I've seen some male twigs trust me. I was one before I got /fit/ and I met some girls at the gym when i'd go who definite;y went harder than me when I was starting out. You can't just count your gender out like that, cmon now. Also there are so many cases of women going psychobitch and killing too. It's a human quality to lose control. I'm not being sexist, I love women, I'm a nurturing dude. But your statements are kinda ignant. That being said, yummy b8
>>
>>19195474
Can't concealed carry around these parts, but I do carry pepper spray. Furthermore, pepper spray is for strangers who attack you in alleyways. It won't do jack shit if someone I know or who has power over me wants something. That's why girls are so good at "tending and befriending".

When I was in school it wasn't strangers I feared, it was people like the director of my program (who, I found out after graduation, threatened one of my classmates because she turned down his sexual advances.)
>>
>>19195488
I don't know if you're serious on not. There are a shit ton of strong women out there, and even I've taken self defense classes, but I KNOW my limitations. I'm small, and no amount of working out will get me strong enough to fight off the average dude.

It's just biology. Look up the differences between male and female twitch fibers, for example. Or take a self defense class where you have to "fight" women and you'll see what I mean.
>>
>>19195498
I'm not denying that we're naturally stronger on average. I'm saying that there is a lot someone can do with themselves to give a natural advantage towards any aggressor. Plus self defense isn't BS a lot of it is designed with having someone stronger and more willing to to harm as the danger in mind. Plus adrenaline can waaayyyyy amp someone in danger. I don't think it's fair to just be skeptical and distrusting of half the population. Especially when a lot of men I know, are not only incappable of doing any real harm to anyone, much less a woman. But are disgusted by anyone who would. So yeah. Whatever though i got baited again and this is pretty off topic for the thread. Men isn't a fear that can be turned into funny, and isn't spooky enough to be turned into horror.

Inescapable bad smells.

>>
My biggest fear is the dark.
Being in the dark is honestly 100% terrifying to me and I cannot sleep in it or be in it at any time and sometimes I'm so irrational I cannot have my eyes closed for long periods of time
Another big fear of mine is the ocean. If I can't touch or can't see I don't want anything to do with it.

when i'm at my work we have this rack of candy that we're supposed to keep filled to the brim. every time i go to fill it up w candy i get this horrible fear that i'm going to fall onto these black kinda prongs that poke out from the shelf and it's going to go right through my eye. happens every time i go to stock the damn thing and freaks me out
>>
>>19195700
Open water too. I had multiple nightmares as a kid about being stuck at sea/on secluded islands and drowning. Sharks are simultaneously terrifying and beautiful creatures.

I also fear the judg4ment of others. I expect people to expect the worst of me. I project onto other people my own fears of failure ad take that mirror image as their actual feelings before getting to know their feelings. Making a conscious effort to get over this, but I don't know. I fear it's not something I can handle on my own.

I also fear my kittens growing up and running away or being kit-napped by somebody. I lost my parents when I was young and have feared being deserted ever since.

That's not scary. I often stare at such windows just to imagine the lurker freaking out that I can see him, although I don't and there's probably no one.

Just have the attitude of wanting to confront such people, I guarantee he'd be a lot more scared if you rang his door and called him out on it, or just dared him to come fight outside.

>>19199491
Nope. I guess I started thinking about it when I was young, how a skinny person being pregnant looks so different than a skinny person getting fat. It's something about how the skin gets so shiny and more translucent when it's so stretched out, and you can see the burst veins underneath. It looks like a balloon in a slow-motion video right before it's about to split. I dunno. Maybe on some level it just reminds me of the malnutrition babies in Africa.

our orbit around the sun makes us travel roughly 3.5 million miles closer/farther depending on the time of year.

if you're going by that shitty facebook post that goes around occasionally about how if we were one inch closer or further away, life couldn't be possible and it's all thanks to god, do a little bit of research and don't listen to bible thumpers.

It's true I'm not that informed about the topic, still, it's mostly my imagination going trough all the what if's. For example, long ago I had the recurring nightmare of the moon crushing the earth, or the moon not being there at all. I'm aware that it wont happen, but I still was afraid of it for a long time.
It's some of those unjustified fears, nothing else.

I'm actually afraid of very little. Paranormal stuff intrigues me, most things like spiders and the dark don't scare me. Dangerous stuff doesn't scare me either I'll do anything if it seems fun.

What does scare me is the dentist. It's a fairly common fear and I don't really understand it. I really want to get over me so I can become fearless but it's very difficult for me.

I have a friend who is scared of weird looking houses. She read house of leaves when she was little and I guess that's why.

Ever since I've seen this thread I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with some fear that isn't rooted in psychology. Example: I'm scared of dying. But that's just basic instinct. A fear of dying is vital to survival. And if every other potential fear of mine (such as drowning because I don't know how to swim lmao) lead to death, I pass it off as a fear not even worth mentioning here.

It's kind of a bummer that I don't have any interesting fears worth mentioning.
>>
A lot of things creep me out, like:
>large imposing architecture
>gore
>screamer videos
>conspiracy theories
>the deep dark ocean
>the silent uncaring empty darkness of space
>sociopathy

But I think the main thing which actually frightens me is the idea of no longer being able to take care of myself. I can deal with the idea of dying or disease, but if I get to a point where I am unable to fend for myself, I would much rather commit suicide than lose my self-sufficiency.

The things that scare me the most include things that are significantly larger than the norm, deep waters, huge storms like tornadoes, apocalyptic, giant events (Melancholia fucked me up), extremely huge creatures (think Shin Godzilla), demons and their doings, and I get a sense of awe and wonder but latent terror from Biblical, Revelation type stuff and ancient Hebrew names for things.

1984 reality and victim mentality.

1984 reality - the book basically

Victim Mentality - basically basing advantage on being a victim and purposefully putting yourself on that state. I really dislike people who hate child molesters and criminals because most of the time it couldve been prevented. Its pretty entertaining they claim truth but dont know criminal mentality.
>>
I'm afraid of spiders and big insects in general, to the point I wouldn't be able to sleep in my bedroom if I know a big spiderbro is somewhere.

I also think that I'm afraid of war too. I live in Europe (Belgium) and we have terrorist attack every now and then. Our airport got an attack last year, I don't travel a lot (almost never), that year I had a trip planned like 2 or 3 weeks prior to the attack. I could have been one of the victims because I was unemployed at the time so it was possible that I booked my trip during that day.. Last week someone blew up a small package in one of our main train station. I go there on a regular basis. Since there is a rise in terrorism in our countries (I mean even kids are targeted during a fucking Arianna Grande concert), I think it has an effect on me. I know that everybody say that we should be strong and not be afraid of that but since we aren't doing anything to fight this... I'm afraid that someday I'll be at the wrong place at the wrong time, or worse... someone I love.

I have regular nightmares involving fanatics killing people I like. Not too long ago I dreamed of a fanatic guy shooting my crush in the face.

I think my worst fear is waking up one day and being completely alone. Like there is no other human or animal on this planet, everyone just disappear. Without any explaination. And you would have to live the rest of your life without seeing or talking to another human again. And after maybe 60 years you would die being completly alone. Man that fucks me up

I have a bad case of pectus excavatum and arrhythmia, I also used to be a heavy smoker and abused drugs for many years.

There are times when I wake up without being able to breathe and my heart seems to have stopped for a few moments and then starts to beat again but very slowly, painfully and loudly.
The first time it happened I was about sure my heart was giving up on me.

It was there and then that I realized how easily you can be on this earth and then simply vanish. How much of a fucking idiot I was for everything I've done in the past.

Jesus Christ, in a moment you're alive then you're gone just like that. The feeling of helplessness scared me too fucking much. I can't deal with it and have felt paranoid ever since.

The endless expanse of empty ocean. Just imagine for a second. You're swimming in the water, when you look below yourself to find that there is nothing below you. Fucking NOTHING. In any direction is just miles and mikes of water. You can't swim fast, and it's only a matter of time until you can't keeep yourself afloat. Then you look below yourself again only to see something enormous pass beneath you. You try to swim away but you know there's no possible escape. You check for the creature and you catch its face. A huge shark, rows of deadly teeth, that cruel and unforgiving silhouette, and those black soulless eyes. You fail about, screaming for help- but you're completely isolated. Then the shark disappears further below. You feel a sense of relief, but then the shark comes rocketing at you from below, the same way they kill and eat seals. Your last image before you're ripped in half and sink to the bottom will be the jaws of the shark approaching you with blinding speed. Later, the scraps of your body will sink down into the dark abyss to be food for the disgusting, bottom dwelling, unsightly bottom-feeders. No one will know what happened to you. It will be as though you simply failed to exist one day.

Deep water. I'm talking anything deeper than what I can reach with my toes except for olympic swimming pools. If it's a lake, a sea or an ocean I will not feel very comfortable near it. In it? I basically go into survival mode the very moment.
I'm also afraid of heights but not to the same extent. I do get chills anywhere higher than a few metres (and don't get me started on the time I was on the Eiffel tower or on a guided tour in this very deep cave) but it's not as bad.
There was a time when these two fears were combined for me. We were on a tour in a cave in high school (and don't get me wrong, I like all the times we went into caves or mines) and it was a pretty deep one. At the end of it, we arrived at a lake and there were two boats there. I held on to my dear life, my heart beating harder than ever before. And then the tour guide thought it would be fun if he turned off his light so we'd be in total darkness for a minute... Needless to say, that's the part of the tour that I will never forget but also the part I never want to repeat.

Nothing conventionally scary really scares me. Even some of the more reasonable ones like heights and deep open water don't really do anything to me. But the one thing that does freak me out is reality warping. Things just not doing what every law of our universe says they are supposed to do, but all at once. Being in a setting of complete nonsense and mind breaking twists. I've only ever experienced it in nightmares, but being that those times are the only times I'm truly fearful, they really fuck me up. It's even worse when I get the feeling I'm not going to wake up and the dream is bleeding with reality
>>
I have a pretty bad fear of seeing something that is actually otherworldly.

It's kind of strange because my poor eyesight and anxieties make me 'see' unreal things often. But these I know not to be real, and my brain dismisses them as soon as they come into view.

The idea of seeing something strange and have it be real though is terrifying to think about.

Same. We even have nightlights in this house, but the darkness still feels like it's creeping in on me.

I can't stand open doors or doorways into the darkness either. I think it goes back to a nightmare about a monster lurking in my dark bedroom as a child. Or another (possible memory?) about a dark stairwell. Nothing actually in that memory, just a spooky stairway to a darkened hallway.

I tried to face my fears once, challenging the think in the darkness. Something fell over in the corner of my room and I bolted for the switch.

Fuck everything. I'm surprised I can even sleep at night without the bedside lamp on anymore.

I thought it was submechanophobia.

I wouldn't really call this much of a fear per say, but I do get a feeling of anxiety whenever there are either loud crowded voices or things like a blender or a baby crying. A mixture of all of them really messes me up for some reason.

I remember when I was really young, I was in a situation where I was in a car where the radio was really loud and staticy while a baby was crying and it made me so anxious I began screaming to get out of the car.

Having a truck fall on me while it's passing through. There are a lot of things in the day to day that could go badly but for some reason I'm particularly scared of this. I always try to keep my distance.

Accidentally hitting the top and bottom rows of my teeth, causing some of them to get badly damaged or fall off. This one bothers me the most because it seems to me both more unreasonable and more likely to happen at the same time. I blame my dreams for this, I've had this happen in them a few times, rather vividly.

Another one of mine, perhaps a more universal fear, despite being something you don't hear often, is to lose my drive to live, in the sense that there are things I like to do and I also have goals for the future, but if I suddenly didn't enjoy these things or I stopped caring about what I want to achieve I wouldn't have any reason to be here anymore. I guess it's what they call depression. I have mild anxiety and I tend to think it's a slippery slope down there.

I like spiders, they eat the nasty insects of the house. Jumping spiders in particular are very cute.

Being stalked/watched, I get the irrational fear something is watching me after every creepypasta I read and I know nothings there but my mind still sends me into to near panic attacks. I have no fear in death, just fear in being watched, weird right?

I had one of those door springs on a wire-frame door get stuck in my eyelid once when I was a child. A half an inch to the side and I would have been blind in my right eye, shit was hella rusty too

Nothing really
If something comes up and spoops me I will improve so I don't get spooped again :)

Ocean here as well
A really sobering example was when I was playing WoW and felt like exploring Vash'jir and I was practically panicking when I tried to go outside the area itself into the deeps around it. Similarly I felt physically awful when I went above the surface and just saw the Whale shark swimming and being all terrifying like

Shadow figures that whisper in your ear

The depth and undiscovered nature of the oceans

Glimpsing some immense, unimaginably gigantic cosmic being

The pupils of eyes

Black dog with red eyes that just stares at you

Laying on your back, looking up at the night sky and recognizing the vast emptiness that is facing you; the relatively thin atmosphere between you and unending oblivion

Dying, being completely erased from existence, never knowing what will go on without you, how your lineage will survive.

I feel you.

When I was young I was playing some GameCube platforming game, it was an animal with a boomerang forgot the name. There was a level that you had to swim underwater through these huge great white sharks and it scared the shit out of me. Underwater levels still spook me, like soma

I have a fear of drowning. It just terrifies me.

When I was younger I gave birth to a full term, stillborn little girl. I have always felt responsible and have always blamed myself. I didn't do anything wild like taking drugs or anything but I still feel like there was something I could have done, or didn't do, that would have saved her life.

This experience pretty much destroyed me as a person. I became suicidal and badly agoraphobic. After a few years I was diagnosed with PTSD and started taking 5 different psych meds a day. At my worst, I didn't leave my apartment for 3 solid years. I had groceries delivered to me and was supported by my parents. I leave my apartment now but only for doctors appointments and therapy.

I told you this story so you could understand my deepest fear. My deepest fear is having to be responsible for anything. Any aspect of my life, no matter how minor. I am pathologically convinced that any decision I make will be the worst decision ever and will destroy not just my life but the lives of those around me. I have a case worker now and she does everything for me, she schedules my appointments and fills out all the forms I need to fill out for various disability programs. I am afraid to even live because I might hurt someone inadvertently. It has been 20 years since I had my little girl and I have tortured myself every single day since then.

I'm going to assume you aren't making this up.
I'm so sorry about your awful experience. I totally understand your fear.

I don't think literally anything about what happened is your fault. Like I said, sometimes bad stuff just...happens and isn't really preventable. And yeah, it really sucks. But those "bad things that happen" are very far apart. They are rare.

I'm a little blown away so all I can really say is, moving forward, know that life is *all* about taking risks, for everyone. It's just how things go. Sometimes the risks aren't even directly made by a person, the results just sort of happen. And I guess sometimes people just have a stroke of bad luck...ah...well I guess I'm not the best at being verbose, but I really hope things get better for you.

Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it. I have looked for a way out and have failed to find one thus far. I just can't forgive myself. It feels like if I forgive myself that I'm somehow condoning what happened, or saying that it doesn't matter. I also feel like if I suffer for the rest of my life it might make up for her dying somehow. I know its not logical. I don't know what to do.

That one day I will wake up an NO ONE will be there, waking up at home and finding that my family from last night is just gone and then calling people but only getting voicemail and finally going to the neighbors to find that they are gone as well, and then realizing that everyone has just simply vanished.

Seconded. Every single time I take the bus, I think someones looking at me. Always out of the corner of my eye. I know it's prolly just my imagination, but they could always just have good reflexes, or its us glancing back and forth. Pisses me off to no end either way.

Other than that, moths. When I see a spider, or when I'm on top of a tall structure, I feel scared but still rational enough to stay calm. When a fair sized moth is flapping around my room, trying to escape, pure dread. It feels like some primal fear that's screaming at me to get away as fast as humanly possible.

Having to live til a ripe old age. I've had mini panic attacks when I think about how I'll most likely have to be alive for another 40 odd years. Just the infinitesimal amount of things that can happen makes me terror ridden. Kinda how when you think of space and how endless it seems? I'm shit at explaining it. I guess its unexplainably large things, really. Things that are known to be real, and have a name, but noone actually knows the full scope of it.

Open spaces are just unexplainably spooky. Like soccer fields at night. Or long ass hallways. Fucking kills me with suspense.

Being in the forest at night it especially frightening. No matter what I always have a sense of imminent danger.

You know when you hear about a friend's mom or dad passing, or read on the news that a natural disaster wiped out millions of people? On another note, have you ever heard of suffering that seems impossible to endure, like extended torture, dismemberment, and dehumanization?
I fear it happening to me or my loved ones.

I dont fear death, I fear everything just before it. The panic of realization that I will be forgotten after a few days, maybe ill be brought up in conversation once and a while but sooner or later my name will be spoken for the last time on earth and I will have done very VERY little to contribute to all of you and your future children and for that I am so sincerely sorry.....that....and roaches.....disgusting little creatures *shudders*

i have a fear that one day when im walking along the sidewalk, a car or an object that fell off of/got hit by a car will collide with me, maiming me in a way that will be very painful for the rest of my life.

At any given moment this situation is pretty unlikely, but over the total amount of time im walking on sidewalks near objects with high momentum, the probability becomes much more realistic.

OP here- thank you for sharing your fears, guys!
Silly or serious, I appreciate all of 'em.

They will definitely help me out when deciding what to write in for certain episodes. My goal is to incorporate them in a way that will help kids deal with their fears, or some that might just freak them out in general. Horror/comedy is the perfect genre to do this kind of thing in, and allows a lot of artistic freedom, too.

So, thank you guys!
