i love how they phrased it as "mayo approaches her" as if it has a personal vendetta against her and tries to seek her out and attack her every second you aren't running, the mayonnaise approaches
Speaking of always approaching, I used to have a reoccurring nightmare of constantly being chased by spiders and if I didn't keep moving they would catch up. No matter where I was or what I did they would come find me. The funny thing is that I like spiders, my fear is just something chasing me forever.
not so much a phobia, but i have a big irrational fear of showing up to something after it’s been cancelled. i am CONSTANTLY checking for updates on appointments, hangouts, extra-curricular activities, because the thought of showing up when no one else is there terrifies me
I think the mayo think might be kind of common. I've known three women who were afraid of mayo. Two of them also were physically repulsed by the word "moist," which I believe is also kind of common.
The duck one is actually understandable because it’s the fear of loss of sense of self, basically identity death. Much scarier when you put it this way.
Used to have an irrational fear of finding a skinned and flayed corpse staring at me when I entered my shower. I was seven. I didn't even know what skinning or flaying was.
Oh my god when I was younger I was also terrified of finding a skinned corpse in my shower?? Like pulling back the curtain and there would be a skinned body. I was a bit older, old enough to know what flaying ment and that this was a completely irrational fear, but I couldn't get it out of my head for years.
@@preacherofmusicit's probably a branch of fear of the unknown. You don't know what's behind the curtain, so our survival-focused brains assume the worst.
@@preacherofmusic a lot of weird things can have a solution if you remember the fact were still animals at the end of the day. I can't guarantee that the explanation is 100% right though.
I’m sometimes scared that my parents can read my thoughts, but then I’m like “No, if they could read my thoughts, we would have had some serious discussions a long time ago…”
That isn’t one of my fears, but I’ve thought about this before and it’s why I don’t like the concept of mind reading. Edit: I actually had a dream where that happened lol. Just like I expected, my intrusive thoughts starting coming in a bunch at the worst possible time. Yay…
I've always had a thought that if I make any sort of physical contact with someone, then they would be able to read my mind. So whenever I'm giving a family member a hug or something I always just switch my thoughts to kittens or other cute things.
I had a science teacher in high school who had a phobia of cotton balls. At first I thought it was stupid, but then he explained why it freaked him out. When he was a kid a large part of his finger/thumb was cut off in an accident. (they were able to sew it back on and it looked fine now) But what they used to stop bleeding at first was cotton balls. So now when he sees people playing with or picking apart the cotton he associates it with the memory as well as raw flesh being picked apart.
@@blesskurunai9213 yea If blood is animated, then that would become my favourite thing, however, If it’s not, I would literally start to cry. I think it’s because when I was 3 years old my toenail came off, and now I’m scared of blood I’m also scared of pain or when people crack their knuckles or stuff like that
@@cocoan-s-e-a it’s only when I see it happening but sometimes when people talk about it and I’m feeling stressed or anxious already it’s the same thing as it actually happening
When I was 6, I spontaneously got afraid there was an alligator under my bed. Not a monster, an alligator. I ended up writing a letter to the alligator and putting it under my bed. This made the fear go away
@@memyself5866 ok I can barely remember but it was something like “dear mr alligator, please don’t eat me. I can feed you snacks and we can become friends”
I have casadastraphobia. It's the fear of falling into the sky. Completely irrational and it started when i hung by my knees from the monkey bars in elementary school, looking down into the sky. Instant fear that gravity was going to switch and i was going to fall into an endless blue nothingness (I had no concept of outer space at this point) I've been stuck with it since
I have a similar fear, just instead of falling into the sky it's floating up into the sky like a helium balloon, no-one being able to catch me, and just slowly drifting higher and higher contemplating my inevitable death in the earth's upper atmosphere. Yeah, don't ask. It came about after repeat episodes of night terrors I had when I was five-ish where I felt like I was floating up and up, and had to hold onto my bedposts for dear life.
I've started to develop a fear where if I'm taking a bath I'll be teleported into the deep ocean just floating on the top with the endless gaping darkness that is the oceans abyss right under where I'm sitting/floating on top.
I had a “scary” dream that only scared me once I woke up. It consisted of a pile of meat and a pond being in my house, as well as a really weird-looking kangaroo
@@genericname2747 I'm scared of my relatives getting dementia too. Could be so sad 😕. My grandma had it at his last years of living and she was only able to recognize my voice and my mom's voice cos they are very similar. She asked for people we didn't know. Probably from her younger days.
@@RaenidaezCreationsi have the same phobia, i cant stand even the sight of them!! i wish them well i just dont want to live in the same universe as frogs 🫣🤢🤮
When I was 8 years old I was terrified of the little apostrophe above the Kirkland logo because I thought it was gonna crawl off the package and attack me
I'm scared of the idea that someone near me is secretly a mind reader and that they will see the weird things I randomly think about and think I'm weird.
Fun fact! Bathmophobia is the word for the fear of stairs! I don't have bathmophobia, but I used to be really scared of spiders. I've gotten better at dealing with it, but it still really creeps me out when they do the thing where they dangle from the ceiling.
It's especially scary knowing that there is a long history of dementia on both sides of your family. Not only will I almost certainly have to watch my parents go through that, I will almost certainly have to through it myself.
When i was little i always thought about growing up, i thought if i grew up then i could do whatever i wanted! Well....i was so wrong..now I'm 14 and living in a tiny apartment with abusive parents, and i barely ever get to go outside
I had a friend who was afraid of people listening to her pee in a public bathroom. At the height of her phobia she would quite literally scream while peeing to cover up the sound. It was terrifying for me because I may or may not have a fear of bringing attention to myself and she would do this in public bathrooms. It always brought attention to us and eventually I realized that she was kinda insane
I can kind of relate to that in a way. I avoided going into public bathrooms for multiple years because I was anxious about people hearing me pee, or when I was in the stall I'd wait for everyone else to leave for me to do my business. I never screamed about it though... Nowadays it doesn't bother me
I'm always scared that someone will stick their head over or under the stall to spy on my in public bathrooms. It has happened a couple of times. I'll never understand why anyone would want to watch someone peeing.
as a child i was always terrified that i would get into the car with one of my parents after leaving school and we would just pull up to a different house and i would have to live my life out as a different person cause me and this adult had mistaken each other for our parent/child and neither of us would acknowledge it out of embarrassment
the last one is so real though. I used to get this irrational feeling that being naked in the presence of pictures or even just NAMES of certain people would allow those people to see me. whenever a books author had the same name as one of those people I would hide it in my closet or cover it with something while I got dressed. this continued until I was like 16 and even now I get uneasy about scrolling through instagram or tiktok on the toilet
I have a honestly haunting fear of saying something really stupid or childish in front of people randomly. Like stuff a 2 year old would do. Really odd. Like social anxiety but even weirder.
No bc actually. Sometimes I'll just be thinking and I'll be like "what if tomorrow spontaneously slapped someone" and then for the rest of the day I'll be thinking about it and I'll have to like actually consciously stop myself from doing it. I think there might be something wrong 😭😭💀
Oh boy you would be so screwed if you had tourettes. Nothing says I'm an adult like just randomly saying "That's my favourite kind of polymer" out of nowhere
It is pretty normal to have childish thoughts and play around with silly ideas, the thing is how do you react to them. Anxiety is a real problem and with the right help it can be controlled. these thoughts can feel weird and unreasonable but they most likely have their bases on our childhood experiences and stuff, and can become a real struggle if left unattended. You are not alone, reach out about things like these. sorry 4 possible bad english.
@@Autumnnn_017 I have the exact same kinds of thoughts!!! I'll be minding my own business when, all of a sudden, I'll be stricken with a thought of "what if I just lost it and started beating someone up?" I've never had an actual urge to do anything violent or actually been violent, but now that the thought is in my head, it won't go away. Fun times!
Throughout my life I’ve had the most gut-wrenching fear that I’m “hearing wrong” or “seeing wrong”; a.k.a, everything/everyone I see isn’t actually what they say, and everything I hear isn’t actually what I think
Whenever we have to sing at school I think I'm the only one singing and it's just a massive test, and whenever I stop talking at school in general, it goes silent.
Sounds like real-event or need-to-know subtype of OCD - try researching psychologists who can really help through using ERP therapy! (I work in the ocd field)
I was terrified of Michael Jackson as kid. When he died the fear increased and I was always scared at night when I went to the toilet and passed under the hatch to our attic (which at the time had no door) that I’d see him looking down at me This fear crippled me so much that I wouldn’t go to the loo at night - Problem was, I was 13 at the time. It never fully went away. I remember being SEVENTEEN and if my parents were going out at night, my mum had to lock all doors and windows and close all the curtains so that I wouldn’t look out the window and see him out there. I’m 26 now and live in my own house with my fiancé but if I get it into my head that he’s out there - I’m staying hidden in bed.
idk why but I get deja vu CONSTANTLY, like multiple times a day, and it's so vivid that I have to guess whether the thing I'm remembering is deja vu or not (most of the time it is)
Okay David Hasselhoff phobia is so valid. I used to be so weirded out and freaked out by him mainly because of the SpongeBob movie scene of him being so human next to animated SpongeBob, while transforming into some human torpedo boat thing. The closeups of his hairy chest inflating really did a number on me😭
As a theater kid, the only thing that scares me of David Hasselhoff is his starring role as Jekyll and Hyde in. Well. Jekyll and Hyde. And no, not because it's actually terrifying and a well played role.
I used to be terrified of the prospect of dropping my phone off the side of a cruise ship. Specifically a phone, specifically off a cruise ship. That intrusive thought lasted for months after I got off the boat.
I have this but out of any vehicle, I can't stand having my phone in my hand even if the window is just cracked open. I can't trust myself not to try it at least once and then I get worried
I fully understand the wooden spoons one. I'm not afraid of them but they cause me a lot of mental pain thinking of trying to eat with one, let alone actually doing it. I went to an ice cream shop with my mom some time ago, and they've started giving customers wooden spoons as a better alternative to plastic. It was such a horrible sensory experience I thought I was going to explode. Thankfully, I had a spare plastic spoon in my pocket, but I felt kinda bad about it.
I'm with you there. The feeling of using a wooden fork and scraping your mouth along it gives me the same horrible chills as chalk on a blackboard. If I have to use one, I just bite the food off and don't touch the fork with my mouth 🤣
Thank you! I’ve been feeling this sensory madness since the thumbnail but it’s a Matt rose vid so just had to click in it. Now and again when I see a wooden spoon or something it makes my mouth feel ✨weird✨. The dryness, let alone the texture is just… aaaah. Even thinking about it I’m just….
As I kid, I used to be terrified of Dr. Seuss. Well not exactly Dr. Seuss himself, but the books he wrote. The artstyle, the rhymes, and the themes shown in the story made me have nightmares, and when my parents bought a set of 42 books by Dr Seuss to encourage reading, not knowing I was afraid of those books, I demanded it be placed under my table so I wouldn't have to see it. Even then I'd still get scared thinking about the books under my table.
I actually had a similar thing with some books. Forgot what they were but the covers were weird so you aren't alone,I don't particularly like the Dr Seuss books anyway
ME TOO! I had to double check that I wasn't the one who wrote this comment haha! I still get heebee geebees every time I see his art. I can't watch The Grinch or the original Lorax movie (the newer one I'm fine with, tho). I think it all started with that one book about "If I ran the Circus." There was a monster who ate sidewalks, trees, and children. I was probably 3 when I read that... It haunts me to this day.
Back when I was pretty young, I was terrified of smoke detectors. It didn't really help that my avid imagination depicted our smoke detectors as faces. I had one right above my bedroom door, so every time I wanted to go in I would pause to brace myself and then make a run for it, terrified that the smoke detector would fall on my head and attack me...
Same here. In my childhood home, they’d blink red, and I was really scared of that for some reason. A few days ago, mine began beeping at six in the morning and woke me up.
I have my own slew of excessively specific intrusive thought 'what if' fears, but my most prominent and personal scariest is 'what if i put this needle in my mouth, suck it in, and it stabs me in the throat?'
One of my weirdest fears is the character “Toodles” from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. If you play an audio from the show where the characters say “Oh Toodles!” In a dark or light room, and if I’m alone, I will lower the Volume of the audio or Scream so that Toodles won’t come and scare me. I’m also scared if you say it to me because I don’t want toodles to hear me.
I have submechophobia, which is the irrational fear of man-made objects underwater. Most people with this phobia get freaked out by shipwrecks, underwater plane crash sites, the underwater parts of oil rigs/ boats, which are all freaky to me, but my phobia is mainly fixated on pool drains and pool lights. My parents used to bribe me to go touch a drain or pool jet, but I would always be too afraid to try. I’m always kinda tense if I try to take a bath because tub drain always freaks me out, but it’s more manageable
I used to be scared of bugs, especially ants and spiders, but my fear turned into my proudest achievements, knowing an unhealthy amount of facts about ants and having the ability to set free any bug.
Right? Over the span of some sleepless nights researching about them, my arachnophobia somehow turned into some sort of arachnomania. I can now identify most spiders by the disposition of their eyes, and it is no longer with fear but out of fascination that I spend hours staring at the corners of the ceiling and examinating every tree branch after them. I actively seek that adrenaline rush from finding brown recluses in the house. Sometimes I wonder if I haven't simply lost the last hold on my flimsy mind
@@spacenaves Whoa, I had no idea it went like that for other people :O I only fear the bathroom ones now (the jittery spiders and the other ones that get confused with them, usually).
I did this with bees. I used to run away shrieking and flailing my arms. One day I sat down and watched bee documentaries for 10 hours. Now I love them.
I’ve always had this weird irrational fear that someone else is watching my entire life through my eyes and judging everything I do. I have no idea why I have this but it continuously effects me to this day
I always have in my mind that someone could be spying on me via the computer cam whenever Im on the computer, as well as monitoring everything I write and know way too much about me. But know it most likely doesn't happen. But I wouldn't get change clothes/naked in front of the computer for that reason
i feel like that too, but its less fear and more shame. ill be in the shower and be hit with a sudden wave of shame and thoughts like, "im disgusting, im cleaning the dirt off myself and now they (no clue who they is supposed to be) know im dirty." i dont even know when it started😭
sameee but it started because when i was younger i used to do like weird things and think it’s funny and pretend like i was on call with my classmates and they saw what i was doing and thought it was funny but now i continuously have a feeling people are watching me and judging me like how you are and it’s still here to this day
I have a very weird fear of taking a shit (especially if I’m naked) because if I am on the toilet for too long, my brain tries to convince me a character from last anime I watched or game I played is watching me.
i have quite a few phobias and fears, but my weirdest one is having sharks fall on top of me. i believe it was sparked by a nightmare i had as a child after visiting an aquarium with a shark tunnel. in my dream, the tunnel shattered and all the sharks in the tank fell on top of me. this combined my fear of sharks, the ocean, being crushed and drowning, as i am now being crushed to death by sharks while drowning. its something i still fear, not just in shark tunnels but sometimes i get this overwhelming fear that sharks are above me right now and if i make a single mistake they are falling on top of me.
I had a nightmare of being flushed down a toilet not as scary now but still the thought of that is kinda terrifying even tho it physically can’t happen
My sister says she has an irrational fear of her animals suddenly starting to talk while she's feeding them, so much so that while she's taking care of them she makes sure to always talk to herself constantly so as not to give them "a gap in the conversation"
I was terrified of National Geographic's age restriction/viewer discretion warning screen, because one time I woke up in the dead of the night and that shit was silently staring me down in the fucking dark. I was scared of it for years.
The idea of waking up in the middle of the night, and a TV being on that wasn’t when I went to sleep, is terrifying to me now tbh. I feel like I have a very specific fear related to them, but only when they’re turned off
Similar to the one at 7:50, i'm scared of sudden silence. There's a tv show in germany called Bernd Das Brot, and the channel that aired it would only air like three different episodes a year, and it would only play them shortly before 8pm, and it would only loop them, which already freaked me out. By that I mean it played *the same* episode back to back over and over again, until 8pm, where it would just switch to a screen saying "We'll be back at 6am!" And that's it. It just went from a piece of bread and a robot doing funny things to entertain children to just silence. Also i'm probably traumatized by that to the point that i'm now also afraid of loops like that
Idk if it's still like that but I'm pretty sure that the 'we'll be back' screen used to switch back to looping the episode after a while. Source: i once watched an Episode at like 1am
@@HeyItsCaz me too! Let's do it together. Matt will freak out when he sees a person in a gas mask and fireproof suit holding an axe in one hand and a frog in the other, approaching him with the frog. Do you agree?
At 2:46 as Matt read... "I had recurring nightmares about the yodeling"... I automatically said out loud, without thinking about it, "the yodeling mountain climber from the Price is Right coming to get me" Exactly word for word what the guy on Reddit posted. I was listening to this in the background and wasnt even reading it on the screen. My best theory is me and this 'BRB_Heartattack' Redittor person must have been reincarnated from people who died in an alternate timeline where Yodeling Mountain Climber (YMC for short) gained too much power too quickly and couldnt be stopped. RIP that timeline. Slightly unrelated to this, but in that timeline Bob Barker lost his testicals in a horrific dog mauling incident when he was 14, and then again when he was 25, and it's widely believed that's why our timelines Bob Barker always wanted people to neuter their pets. It was Bob's way to get his revenge and regain some control in his life. While this is not necessary information, I hope it gives some people, and animals, closure.
My big phobia (still after 4 years) is emergency alerts. It doesn't matter if its a tornado warning, amber alert, even just a "dont drink the water its contaminated" warning I still freak out the same way. I've had legitimate nightmares where I've been trapped in a room watching a never-ending emergency alert
That reminds me of a lucid dream I had I was playing a game in vr in the dream and it turned into a real room and every time I would take the headset off it would jump scare me in real life and I was forced to restart AND I WAS CONSCIOUS WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING it felt like it was never gonna end Until I woke up
Lmfao yeaaah. I’m more afraid of the alerts than the actual warning. At 5am, one went off. As an adult man, I almost cried. Than I read it and it said “local power plant has started showing signs of a meltdown (something like that). Seek shelter. This is not a drill.” My fear didn’t increase. And I felt relieved when the alarm stopped making sounds and went back to bed……it was an error at the plant. So, confirmed: I’m more afraid of an alarm sound than dying in a nuclear explosion. People were late for work that day. Some could not come in. My one coworker was already in a different continent. She was like “oh. It was a fluke? I’m like 5 hours away….can’t make it.” Understandable. Actually, a completely rational response to the situation, given the information provided. Even more rational given, the town I was in at the time was like 10 kilometres away from said power plant. But, yeah. Also, in elementary school, my mark would drop by like 30% in classes with a fire alarm in them, because I would spend most of the class with my ears covered. So yeah…..I get this. Funnily enough, I’m a musician/ producer now, and I really fuck with sound design, so it’s got me wondering if their is some correlation between general emotional ties to noise, and musical comprehension as a whole. Cuz it makes some sense. If you feel fear greater around sounds, you may feel other things more as well. So like, anybody who relates to alarm fear, do ya play an instrument or something?
I know I shouldn’t be laughing but god damn 😂 why would you only fear that you’d be trapped in a room with blazing sounds, I’d worry more about something coming in the room on top of the sounds
I actually genuinely have that last phobia and I am even more genuinely surprised that another individual shares such a weirdly specific yet disgusting fear. Irrational but it still regularly affects me 😂
Fun fact: I once convinced someone that my name was Elizabeth for a whole day somehow. I just wanted to see what life is like with a normal name. (My name is Pyro btw)
I’m terrified of waking up one morning to find myself terrified of all the things I enjoy- like bugs, snakes, lizards and such. I adore them. I fear the thought of becoming fearful.
That is a _really_ sad thought... A while back, I was concerned that I would develop a fear of bats (I love bats). I told my therapist that it was really important to me that I didn't develop such a phobia, and she suggested doing a bunch of research on them. Humans naturally fear the unknown, after all, so the more you know about something, the less scary it will be. I don't know if that helps at all, but this made me so sad that I really wanted to do whatever I can to try and help.
I always liked clowns. Any clowns, even those, who are deliberately scary. And I fear that someday it will change. But it still makes me really sad that a lot of people are afraid of them or hate them. Even my good friend was once so scared by a guy in a creepy clown costume (he was advertising a scary attraction in the middle of a well lit busy street) that she wanted to beat him up. In my country you can't just become a clown. You have to graduate from a circus college first. And it's really hard to get accepted to. So all the clowns here are just people who devoted their lives to making people a bit happier, to make them laugh, to teach them how to overcome every hardship with humor and a smile on their faces. And all they get for that is minimum wage and hatred. All because of the media and pranksters who taught people to be afraid of them or hate them. They so don't deserve it... I don't even know any other person who feels that way about clowns. Everyone I know hate them or scared of them. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry.
I can kind of relate to that. I get intrusive thoughts making me wonder if I actually hate the things that I like, and what my life would be like if I suddenly had no interest in any of my life goals. It's definitely crisis-inducing
As a child, my brother had a nightmare about being chased around the house by a giant Energizer Bunny. You know, the battery company mascot. To this day seeing it still makes him visibly uncomfortable. He is 41.
This is how phobia related humor should work instead of the mean spirited stuff you see all too often. I love this self aware “man our brains can be so weird” approach. It can be quite cathartic. My mom once knew someone terrified of large leaves to the point he’d break out in cold sweats. Someone also mentioned fear of pregnant women. I know someone who is very whigged out by the idea of pregnancy so was quite happy to learn she’s very unlikely to ever get pregnant due to a physical thing. Not quite a phobia, but I have anxiety and for so long used to get very antsy whenever Nightwing would show up in a comic I was reading, especially unexpectedly. I think it’s largely because I heavily associate him with my brother who I even affectionately call my Nightwing and have saved as Nightwing in my phone and the image I have of the character is just generally really particular and really important to me so I would get quite anxious worrying something might ruin him. I’d legit feel all tingly from sheer nerves. What makes it really weird is that I’d only get like that if he was Nightwing. If he showed up as Robin or Grayson Batman or something else I was fine. But if he was Nightwing I’d be anxious. It also only happened with main universe comics. Nothing happened if I saw him in an elseworld comic or in a show or video game. It was by far the most oddly insanely specific part of my anxiety disorder for years. Eventually it just kinda…. stopped. Still not sure why it suddenly stopped but I’m not exactly complaining. My anxiety is usually pretty vague and just “what if SOMETHING goes wrong” but this one bit of it was abnormally specific and direct.
I'm also irked by pregnancy, and that's why I was so happy to find out I have polycystic ovaries. That decreases the chance of being able to successfully carry a child by a fair bit. Also decreases the chances of actually conceiving as well.
3:42 made me literally nearly choke on my drink cuz i was laughing so much. just the sudden "i have very saggy balls." in the way matt talks just made me laugh
I really hate emergency alerts or alarms. They sound really creepy and ominous, and thinking about what they’re warning you about is even scarier. There have been countless times where I’ll wake up in the middle of the night hearing an alarm going off while my furby just stares at me from up on my shelf.
Not so much those but it’s fire alarms for me. I get very nervous when I hear an alarm even if I know it’s a test and almost go into a panic attack. Never been involved in a fire, so idk where this fear came from, maybe from school when we had fire drills.
I have a fear of mushrooms, mainly because of if they grow in a patch, I see it like an infection, and my mind effectively goes: "Wait, this isn't right. Why is it growing? Why is it spreading? Stop spreading! Stop!" I think it might be a form of trypophobia.
made me think of the "decay exists as an extand form of life" post: "me, Holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters. Me, cocking my gun, tears streaming down my face: I'M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU"
this but mold. mold disgusts me to a degree that I can barely carry trash bags containing it outside, and usually have to get someone else to actually throw away moldy bread/fruit.
I used to be really scared of doppelgangers, like I would look up and see someone I thought was my mom and I'd follow them to a place I didn't know and get lost and die.
Once my boyfriend had a sleep deprived hallucination while looking in the mirror, where a humanoid figure that looked exactly like me was behind him and moved 10 steps closer every time the lights flickered. He was terrified. I am surprised he hasn't dumped me yet despite all the strange phenomena.
I use to get lost allot at Disneyland as a kid and I would freak out and go crying to anyone I thought looked like my parents… Most people would say things like, “I’M SORRY I’M NOT YOUR MOM!”…Then just walk away! 😕… One time a lady actually took me to the Lost and Found office and that was nice! ☺️
I have a weird irrational fear of accidentally saying something that I’m thinking about out loud and everyone around judging me for it. I don’t know why. Edit: dang, I'm really glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Oh my gosh same! I worry about this every single day and it sucks. Sometimes I wonder if this is something I should see a therapist about. One of my sisters has anxiety. Maybe I need medicine or something, IDK.
The fear of getting their nipples ripped off reminded me of this story. My dad got into a fight with some kid, and when they were fighting, the kid latched onto my dads chest and halfway ripped off his nipple. I can understand why they have that fear.
I find watching this oddly therapeutic to watch. It makes me feel like everyone has some weird thoughts or fears like that and we just never say them out loud to people because a) they're weird and you don't want to be judged and b) sometimes you forget about them or they're just really subconscious and you forget they are weird. But deep down we're all just fighting against ourselves and the weird and unhelpful connections our brains make.
This video is making me feel much better about my fear of driving down hill, the steering wheel and brakes simultaneously breaking and the car crashing and killing me
the steering broke in my mom's car once while her and i were driving (luckily not very fast, we were relatively safe, but still). now whenever we get on highways i'm always afraid it's gonna happen again D: so i feel you on this one.
I experienced a similar situation when the brakes on my bicycle snapped as I was starting a downward descent from a steep hill. I didn't really feel time slow down as I've heard other people describe it. I just remember having a considerable amount of time to weigh the pros and cons of jumping off my bike. The hill merged with a round about and I managed to merge flawlessly into moving traffic. I didn't end up jumping off as I was frozen stiff in fear. I don't know how I'm still alive.
So i have no idea how to explain this in english but ima try. My mum once drove up a 40° ish upward facing ramp into some mall parking lot with like 4 floors. These ramps were maybe 10m long before turning around a corner to the next part of the parking lot, but one time, when we were basically almost at the top, my mums car went off on its own. So, while we felt the car go down and gain momentum, paired with that tickling in your stomach that you know from elevators, I watched my mum try to turn on the car in panic while almost dropping the car key. Needless to say, if she wouldn't have made it in time, the car would have hit the wall and broke or even gone through the wall due to the speed (on the 4th floor). She cried afterwards from the stress.
In primary school, I wrote a story about an alien getting bullied by other aliens for being afraid of soup. As I got older, I always thought it was a very random and silly thing to come up with, but there actually is a person with a fear of soup out there! I can't believe this!
When I was in the 3rd grade I was very terrified of the sun. Particularly of the sun exploding while I slept and me never getting to tell my loved ones goodbye. In the 6th grade we had a lesson about the sun in science and I could not hold back my tears. Thanks science channel, thanks mom for leaving a sick 8 year old in front of the tv without the remote
To this day I have an intense fear of the sun exploding. It’s so oddly specific that I didn’t think I’d ever see anyone share this fear. Have been woken by nightmares about holding my loved ones while watching the sun explode. Then my best friend recommended I play the game Outer Wilds. She’s evil for that 😭
@@mae.glitter sometimes we have to face our fears to overcome them. For me it was having a silent panic attack in the back of my sixth grade science lesson that very suddenly flipped a switch, for you it might be playing Outer Wilds. Im afraid I cant say much more than that because I don’t know what its about and I’m going to be wayy to busy today to search it up
For the wooden spoons one, my dad tells me stories that he used to get beaten by his grandmother (who lived with him) with wooden spoons and he'd run for his life when she'd pull it out. One time, I was at the house he lived in (my grandmother and great grandmother live there) and me and my cousins went upstairs to feed her, and on the wall there was a 3ft king wooden spoon and it terrified us
Yep, when my mum got the wooden spoon out I ran. Now that i am an adult I realise its fucking wild that you're just allowed to wallop children, with DESIGNATED TOOLS, for minor disobedience.
@@schoo9256 wild indeed. Children arent animals. Even then, its inhumane to physically harm animals. So why do it to your children? There’s better ways to correct bad behavior.
my question is why would anyone need a 3ft wooden spoon? It is a comically large size for a spoon...Does it have a more...Um, conventional and ethical purpose?
Sometimes when I’m getting a haircut I have an irrational fear that they’re reading my mind with the devices they’re using to cut my hair. Like some sort of secret government agency exists specifically using haircutters or some shit.
As a child, i was incredibly scared to the point i would need my parents to sit in my room all night about a shark flying through the chimney and killing me. I didn't have a chimney.
@@mwhad9991I was thinking more of the scary flying shark(when i was like 4 i watched a music video where the song was just "scary flying shark, scary flying shark" and it was a shark covered in blood)
One of my fears is that whenever I go to the toilet, I panic if I’m hallucinating nobody there, when in “reality” my mum or someone is there and I’m just shitting on them.
I wouldnt say it's a fear of mine, but it's a concern of mine that I'm not awake. And I'm just gonna wake up wetting the bed like a child. I cope with this by counting tiles. Because in dreams the tiles wiggle but in real life they don't move. I hope this helps you 💪
I’m terrified of a very specific phenomenon: Biting my nails and then my nails get all jagged, meaning they catch on fabric. Then, running my nails DOWN some fabric.
As a little kid I would always cry during the credits of a film, not because I didn't want the movie to end, just because the credits gave me huge anxiety, they still do.
@@upsetti.spaghetti6000 its highly likely that death is just like sleep but without dreams. Any other interpretation, as far as I know, has no scientific backing, and, if you are willing to consider them, you would be forced to give equal value to the idea that anything is possible, and therefore you don't know anything at all about anything and all knowledge could in theory be incorrect. And for obvious reason, we don't consider that. And science does the most consistent job explaining things in consensus reality, which is why that is the base assumption. Tl;dr, you just stop existing, like being asleep without dreams, or what it was like before you were born. Unless you decide to not use logic and science to determine the probable answer, but in that case, you have cast aside the assumption of consensus reality, and have much more pressing concerns when it comes to uncertainty.
My dad actually had the vomit-red-soda/gatorade thing happen to him. He was at our local water park, had some red soda (Or something, he hasn't told the story in a while) went down a slide, then threw up on a walkway just in front of the slide. The lifeguards all thought he had internal bleeding or something, but he was fine. Also when i was like 4, i dreamt a duck appeared in our bathroom. For like a month I couldnt enter the bathroom without my dad being there.
One time I walked into the bathroom in elementary school, there where three kids holding up sticks on the shape of the cross and (I think) trying to exercise the llorona from the mirrors 😅 I could still use the bathroom but I just didn’t look in the mirrors. 😂
For some reason, I was terrified of anyone in any sort of costume. Makeup, wigs, anything that covered the person underneath’s identity scared me the hell out. And no, this had nothing to do with Halloween I remember one day in, like, 2nd grade when everyone was dressing up for whatever reason, and it took who knows how long to get me in the class where I could barely recognise anyone. This also included mascots. Put a popular character on a puffy full body suit, with no voice and no facial movement, and I was running for the hills. Luckily, I’ve since grown out of this. Except the mascot thing. Those still freak me out for some reason. EDIT: to all the people saying to stay away from furries… jokes on you, my whole friend group is made up of em.
People in rabbit suits. At Easter. The ones that kids sometimes get photos with, the big white ones with cartoon-y faces. I see one in a shopping centre at Eastertime and I WILL be heading in the opposite direction. I am 48.
Yea when i was a small child i would get super uncomfortable by mascot suits. They still kinda creep me out but it depends on how they look. Suprisingly i don't mind most fursuits.
This actually made me feel a lot better about my own. IDK if this counts since it's part of my mental illness, but i have OCD. And one of my compulsive behaviors is that i need to walk through doors in the same spot on my way both in and out (e.g. if i'm leaning slightly to the left on the way in, i need to lean slightly to the right on the way out). If i don't do this, i fear i'll slip through a wormhole into another dimension that's almost exactly like my own. This isn't scary in and of itself, but because i'm scared my friends and my cat would miss me and be upset that i've gone away. The severity of this fear fluctuates, but gets worse when i'm stressed. I'm still deeply ashamed of admitting this, but i'm trying to talk about it more. And this thread kinda helped. So-- thank you. P.S. If you ever do a part two, yeah, i'm totally cool with this being read. Maybe hearing it in the voice of "the British guy who reads" will help make it less scary XD . EDIT: Thank you so much to everyone who's replying with their own OCD induced fears. It means so much to hear i'm not alone. I'm sorry if i don't respond to everyone, but please don't stop replying if you want to keep sharing. It means so much to me and i'm sure others who read this, as well.
I also have OCD and have fears like this. OCD is so isolating, so thanks for having the courage to share this and help other people like us to identify with our fellow humans. It's so helpful. Maybe someday I'll have that strength too.
I used to have OCD myself. Can confirm, was the worst 3 1/2 years of my life. But know this: it got better for me, and it can get better for you. Stay strong!
1.)Turning 24 this month, and that 18 year old who is terrified of growing older embodied my own feelings 2.) The 6'11 guy scared of ants may just be a small elephant
- Dam drain holes. They are too large, too round, and too deep. - The elevator cable ripping just as my body is halfway through the doorway. Too many Final Destination films I think. - Large spiders, with large meaning anything bigger than a bottlecap. Uagh.
I have a similar fear because I’ll ask my friends something or say something and they all just go silent or offline at the Same Time. I panic because I fear I’ve said something wrong and that they’ll leave me for it.
Yeah. Especially when it feels like it’s your fault, like you killed the conversation and that they don’t like you anymore and that they will remember that moment for the rest of their life and they’re gonna talk about it to their other friends and one of those friends is gonna wanna hunt you down and beat you up and-
that last one is relatable for me, i have a few posters in my bedroom of this band i really like, and after i put them up, i realized i couldn’t comfortably change in there anymore because i felt like they were watching me. though when i take them down, i feel that something is missing and end up putting them back in their proper place. it’s a never-ending cycle. i am doomed.
I have a bad fear of things like emergency broadcasts, but I find them so intriguing! The word “Emergency broadcast” or “Weather alert” give me bad anxiety
To be fair though, they are designed to instill fear and action as a response to them. The attention tone in emergency alerts was specifically chosen because it is very grading and noticeable on the human ear.
me too so much i used to have a fancy phone that tells you if moisture is detected in the charging port when you try to charge i have an actually waterproof phone now but every time i plug in my phone after going anywhere near water i hesitate in fear
I’m terrified of large enclosed spaces - similar to claustrophobia except the bigger the worse the fear, can’t enter any closed gardens and bungalows also terrify me for this reason as their roof is uncomfortably low
Fears i suffered from throughout various stages of my life: -fear of the dark (this one has not been resolved and i still cannot sleep comfortably in a dark room at nearly 20 years old.) -mold (ive gotten better about this but I'm still very thorough about checking certain foods for any signs of mold before i eat them) -surgery (and i need to get all four wisdom teeth out within a year so thats gonna be fun to speedrun getting over) -carpet beetles slightly more absurd ones: -being afraid that Rasputin's stretchy arm from the movie Anastasia would come out of my toilet's drain while i was sitting on the toilet and grab my ass -that slenderman would be inside any dark room i walked by, so i always averted my eyes -the fear that if i posted my art online, someone would impersonate me, claim to be me, do a good enough job that everyone would believe them over me, and then get constantly accused of stealing the art i made -fear that my deceased relatives are watching over me, even in the shower and other private situations -fear that random deceased people are watching me, despite the fact that they would have no reason to -fear of Cholla (jumping cactus) because my uncle told me they jumped out at people and i interpreted this as meaning they would shoot barrages of cactus at me if i walked within a five-foot radius of them -probably other stuff but i cant remember lol Update on the wisdom tooth thing: I didn't need my wisdom teeth removed, I needed a night guard.
You’re scared of your wisdom teeth? Don’t worry, the dentist will give you anesthesia, you’ll fall asleep, they’ll fix your teeth, and you’ll be all good
When I was in elementary I had this fear that everybody could somehow see what I was thinking as if it was projected onto my head, I tried to think about the color black but realized that they could see that my head was a literal void so I switched to tan, this lasted for 3 years
I used to kinda think this way and looked at someone and thought nice things about them. Then I told them to get out of my head and a few months later this weird feeling stopped
I had something similar when I was paranoid (for real) in my late teens. But I used the void as something to scare people off from reading my thoughts. God damn it sounded mental..
when i was a child (maybe 3 or 4) i was terrified of skeletons, so halloween was my nightmare. but i had this weird name for them, i called them CHILDS. so at my local Kiehls, they always had a skeleton, and imagine what the whole shop thought when a three year old girl miserably shrieked … “MUMMY ITS A CHILD!!!”
My irrational ‘phobia’ is getting rabies. It’s essentially eradicated in my country, as well as most of the world, but it terrifies me because as soon as you start experiencing symptoms it’s too late to cure it.
I have a few reasonable phobias, things like a fear of heights, but my strangest phobia is…ice. Specifically, slipping on ice, along with otherwise walking on any other particularly slippery surfaces. I’m not exactly fragile, I will not keel over or break a hip. I’m a young adult with no need to be as petrified as I am about falling down. But somehow, ice and snow just wreck me emotionally and mentally. It’s specifically the sensation of falling that makes me so damn terrified. Not the pain of hitting the ground or anything, apparently I can take that, but the falling part? That makes me a despondent wreck. I was out with my friends once and they got to see my reaction first-hand. I didn’t even need to step on anything, just *seeing* the snow made me stop at the edge like there was a forcefield stopping me. It took a lot of coaxing and support from my awesome friends just to get me past the thin layer of snow on the path, and even after sitting down to a meal in a restaurant, I was visibly shaken for hours after. I even cried into one friend’s shoulder because I just couldn’t get a hold of myself. You’d think I’d been traumatized. And all of this happened because there was a path with a thin, easy-to-pass layer of snow over it, that I did not slip on, and the whole time I was wearing the perfect boots that had tons of traction. The mere idea of slipping messed me up that much.
No but like that makes a lot of sense though? I love ice skating but I've fallen multiple times, and ur right about the pain not being the worst, it's just the falling part that's scary. One minute you're going along and the next minute WHAM you're on your butt. Its just so sudden lolll 😭
I have a fear of ice/snow after I fell over when skiing and split my lip(and chipped a tooth)..it wasn’t too bad but there was so much blood (which I’m also scared of) and I had to get stitches and get the chipped tooth fixed (I’m also scared of dentists). Still got the scar.
during the ages of 3-8 years old i was terrified of mannequins, to the point where whenever i had to go past one in a store i had to look away and move past as fast as i could. i was scared of them coming to life or something and coming after me to kill me. this only got worse after i started getting reoccurring nightmares about them chasing me around various places like malls, the street, grass fields, even my own house. i still vividly remember some of these dreams they were absolutely terrifying, the way they waddled around at 10 mph as i had to run from my life. i'm over that fear by now but there are still some moments where i see a weird looking mannequin and i get really freaked out, not to the extent that i did when i was little though lol
If you ever decide to watch Doctor Who, it would be in your best interest to skip the first episode of the rebooted series. Very unfriendly mannequins.
!! Same! Mine stemmed a bit from watching doctor who as a kid. I had vivid memories of em chasing me around part of my home town as a kid so I got really freaked out walking home at night from our local youth club because of the nightmares. Thankfully I've grown out of the fear but not the "what if" mindset when near em
My weirdest phobia is animal corpses. I’m genuinely terrified of seeing a dead fly on my window sill, or the COMPLETELY FLATTENED AND SHREDDED remains of a bunny on the road. Yet I still aspire to collect bones. I like the bones. Edit: 6:43 THAT SOUND TERRIFIES ME TOO.
Something that always freaks me out is a thing that keeps happening in my dreams. It's like this abstract combination of a smooth, flat line like on an EKG display with the flatline tone mixed with white noise. Every time it happens I get the feeling something is terribly wrong, like I'm in a coma and keep almost dying and as I do, I dream that flatlining sound as my senses come out, but then I fall back into the coma.
I also have a recurring dream that really bothers me. I found out that crested geckos can technically reproduce asexually, though it's very rare and the eggs, if they hatch in the first place, usually don't survive. Ever since I found out about that, I've been having dreams where my crested gecko would suddenly start reproducing like a freaking rabbit, and I would lose track of which one was her (since animals of the same species tend to look a lot alike) and/or have to find homes for all of them pronto, only for her to make more before I even can.

every second you aren't running, the mayonnaise approaches
*the mayo is c o m i n g*

Tie a string to mayo tie the string to her and watch the choas
Speaking of always approaching, I used to have a reoccurring nightmare of constantly being chased by spiders and if I didn't keep moving they would catch up. No matter where I was or what I did they would come find me.
The funny thing is that I like spiders, my fear is just something chasing me forever.
@@cynister7384 you just probably fear being chased
As someone with a fear of mayo, this is accurate
not so much a phobia, but i have a big irrational fear of showing up to something after it’s been cancelled. i am CONSTANTLY checking for updates on appointments, hangouts, extra-curricular activities, because the thought of showing up when no one else is there terrifies me

“irrational fear” is literally the definition of phobia.
It actually makes sense to be afraid if a jar of mayo starts approaching you
I think the mayo think might be kind of common. I've known three women who were afraid of mayo. Two of them also were physically repulsed by the word "moist," which I believe is also kind of common.
Absolutely. Being afraid of an ominous jar of mayonnaise approaching is not irrational.
Yee
AFRAID?!
I feel offended, he just walks up ands asks me if I want ketchup
But jars of mayo don't usually sprout legs and start approaching you. I'd be pretty scared if one did
The duck one is actually understandable because it’s the fear of loss of sense of self, basically identity death. Much scarier when you put it this way.

for at least 5 years now, i've had a fear that people could read my mind and think my intrusive thoughts are my actual thoughts
same!! it’s awful
I’m sometimes scared that my parents can read my thoughts, but then I’m like “No, if they could read my thoughts, we would have had some serious discussions a long time ago…”
That isn’t one of my fears, but I’ve thought about this before and it’s why I don’t like the concept of mind reading.
Edit: I actually had a dream where that happened lol. Just like I expected, my intrusive thoughts starting coming in a bunch at the worst possible time. Yay…
I've always had a thought that if I make any sort of physical contact with someone, then they would be able to read my mind. So whenever I'm giving a family member a hug or something I always just switch my thoughts to kittens or other cute things.
That's... relatable. I actually really liked seeing that comment
I had a science teacher in high school who had a phobia of cotton balls. At first I thought it was stupid, but then he explained why it freaked him out. When he was a kid a large part of his finger/thumb was cut off in an accident. (they were able to sew it back on and it looked fine now) But what they used to stop bleeding at first was cotton balls. So now when he sees people playing with or picking apart the cotton he associates it with the memory as well as raw flesh being picked apart.
Ohh that sounds terrible. All of the stupid and hilarious phobias are somehow linked with something painful.

I have casadastraphobia. It's the fear of falling into the sky. Completely irrational and it started when i hung by my knees from the monkey bars in elementary school, looking down into the sky. Instant fear that gravity was going to switch and i was going to fall into an endless blue nothingness (I had no concept of outer space at this point) I've been stuck with it since
I have a similar fear, just instead of falling into the sky it's floating up into the sky like a helium balloon, no-one being able to catch me, and just slowly drifting higher and higher contemplating my inevitable death in the earth's upper atmosphere. Yeah, don't ask.
It came about after repeat episodes of night terrors I had when I was five-ish where I felt like I was floating up and up, and had to hold onto my bedposts for dear life.

When i was little i always thought about growing up, i thought if i grew up then i could do whatever i wanted! Well....i was so wrong..now I'm 14 and living in a tiny apartment with abusive parents, and i barely ever get to go outside
I had a friend who was afraid of people listening to her pee in a public bathroom. At the height of her phobia she would quite literally scream while peeing to cover up the sound. It was terrifying for me because I may or may not have a fear of bringing attention to myself and she would do this in public bathrooms. It always brought attention to us and eventually I realized that she was kinda insane
I can kind of relate to that in a way. I avoided going into public bathrooms for multiple years because I was anxious about people hearing me pee, or when I was in the stall I'd wait for everyone else to leave for me to do my business. I never screamed about it though... Nowadays it doesn't bother me
I'm always scared that someone will stick their head over or under the stall to spy on my in public bathrooms. It has happened a couple of times. I'll never understand why anyone would want to watch someone peeing.
I’ve been in women’s public toilets in Japan where the sound of running water constantly played to hide it LMFAO

as a child i was always terrified that i would get into the car with one of my parents after leaving school and we would just pull up to a different house and i would have to live my life out as a different person cause me and this adult had mistaken each other for our parent/child and neither of us would acknowledge it out of embarrassment

This would make a wonderful sitcom.
Are you by any chance British because that sounds like an INCREDIBLY British fear 😂

I used to get this irrational feeling that being naked in the presence of pictures or even just NAMES of certain people would allow those people to see me. whenever a books author had the same name as one of those people I would hide it in my closet or cover it with something while I got dressed. this continued until I was like 16 and even now I get uneasy about scrolling through instagram or tiktok on the toilet

I have weird urges to blurt out random things sometimes, so I get thay fear.
No bc actually. Sometimes I'll just be thinking and I'll be like "what if tomorrow spontaneously slapped someone" and then for the rest of the day I'll be thinking about it and I'll have to like actually consciously stop myself from doing it. I think there might be something wrong 😭😭💀
Oh boy you would be so screwed if you had tourettes. Nothing says I'm an adult like just randomly saying "That's my favourite kind of polymer" out of nowhere
It is pretty normal to have childish thoughts and play around with silly ideas, the thing is how do you react to them.
Anxiety is a real problem and with the right help it can be controlled. these thoughts can feel weird and unreasonable but they most likely have their bases on our childhood experiences and stuff, and can become a real struggle if left unattended. You are not alone, reach out about things like these.
sorry 4 possible bad english.
@@Autumnnn_017 I have the exact same kinds of thoughts!!! I'll be minding my own business when, all of a sudden, I'll be stricken with a thought of "what if I just lost it and started beating someone up?" I've never had an actual urge to do anything violent or actually been violent, but now that the thought is in my head, it won't go away. Fun times!
Throughout my life I’ve had the most gut-wrenching fear that I’m “hearing wrong” or “seeing wrong”; a.k.a, everything/everyone I see isn’t actually what they say, and everything I hear isn’t actually what I think
Oh my god, i have that!

It’s terrible to have to question your own perception…. Definitely one of the worst fears
I was terrified of Michael Jackson as kid. When he died the fear increased and I was always scared at night when I went to the toilet and passed under the hatch to our attic (which at the time had no door) that I’d see him looking down at me
This fear crippled me so much that I wouldn’t go to the loo at night - Problem was, I was 13 at the time. It never fully went away. I remember being SEVENTEEN and if my parents were going out at night, my mum had to lock all doors and windows and close all the curtains so that I wouldn’t look out the window and see him out there.
I’m 26 now and live in my own house with my fiancé but if I get it into my head that he’s out there - I’m staying hidden in bed.
Imagine slipping into your bed and hearing a muffled "HEE HEE" outside your window
@@snowyvul ok this was supposed to be scary but lmfaooo

Okay David Hasselhoff phobia is so valid. I used to be so weirded out and freaked out by him mainly because of the SpongeBob movie scene of him being so human next to animated SpongeBob, while transforming into some human torpedo boat thing. The closeups of his hairy chest inflating really did a number on me😭
That's exactly what I thought of when I tried to put myself in the shoes of someone who was freaked out by David Hasselhoff.
I sent the dude a pic of the Hoff with a text saying; "you can't escape the hoff"

As a theater kid, the only thing that scares me of David Hasselhoff is his starring role as Jekyll and Hyde in. Well. Jekyll and Hyde.
And no, not because it's actually terrifying and a well played role.
I don’t even remember that scene but when I saw that phobia I was like “hmm it’s probably something to do with the spongebob movie so I understand”

I used to be terrified of the prospect of dropping my phone off the side of a cruise ship.
Specifically a phone, specifically off a cruise ship.
That intrusive thought lasted for months after I got off the boat.
Edit: Nope totally forgot about my fear of doing anything to accidentally pull a fire alarm.
I have this but out of any vehicle, I can't stand having my phone in my hand even if the window is just cracked open. I can't trust myself not to try it at least once and then I get worried

I fully understand the wooden spoons one. I'm not afraid of them but they cause me a lot of mental pain thinking of trying to eat with one, let alone actually doing it. I went to an ice cream shop with my mom some time ago, and they've started giving customers wooden spoons as a better alternative to plastic. It was such a horrible sensory experience I thought I was going to explode. Thankfully, I had a spare plastic spoon in my pocket, but I felt kinda bad about it.
I'm with you there. The feeling of using a wooden fork and scraping your mouth along it gives me the same horrible chills as chalk on a blackboard. If I have to use one, I just bite the food off and don't touch the fork with my mouth 🤣
the very thought of wooden utensils and especially popsicle sticks gives me chills
Do lolly sticks count as wooden cutlery?
@@hps362 No, but those also feel disgusting
Thank you! I’ve been feeling this sensory madness since the thumbnail but it’s a Matt rose vid so just had to click in it.

As I kid, I used to be terrified of Dr. Seuss. Well not exactly Dr. Seuss himself, but the books he wrote. The artstyle, the rhymes, and the themes shown in the story made me have nightmares, and when my parents bought a set of 42 books by Dr Seuss to encourage reading, not knowing I was afraid of those books, I demanded it be placed under my table so I wouldn't have to see it. Even then I'd still get scared thinking about the books under my table.
I actually had a similar thing with some books. Forgot what they were but the covers were weird so you aren't alone,I don't particularly like the Dr Seuss books anyway
Well, it is a very surreal art style. I can't say I blame you, it'd be confusing to anyone who is't familiar with it.

The calm people being pissed is just scary and is probably universal.
I've only ever seen my Nana pissed off once and I was TERRIFIED.
Back when I was pretty young, I was terrified of smoke detectors. It didn't really help that my avid imagination depicted our smoke detectors as faces. I had one right above my bedroom door, so every time I wanted to go in I would pause to brace myself and then make a run for it, terrified that the smoke detector would fall on my head and attack me...
I had the fear of the noise smoke detectors make
I was afraid the batteries would die and then I would die in a fire

I have submechophobia, which is the irrational fear of man-made objects underwater. Most people with this phobia get freaked out by shipwrecks, underwater plane crash sites, the underwater parts of oil rigs/ boats, which are all freaky to me, but my phobia is mainly fixated on pool drains and pool lights. My parents used to bribe me to go touch a drain or pool jet, but I would always be too afraid to try. I’m always kinda tense if I try to take a bath because tub drain always freaks me out, but it’s more manageable
Good lord. I'm afraid of drains and can barely take a shower, let alone a bath. I can totally relate.
I actually Can relate, man made objects under that water freaks me out, Pool Jets don’t but totally pool drains
It's Submechanophobia you Tinky-Winky lookin ass
I am repulsed by negative numbers
I have this same fear :(
I used to be scared of bugs, especially ants and spiders, but my fear turned into my proudest achievements, knowing an unhealthy amount of facts about ants and having the ability to set free any bug.
Right? Over the span of some sleepless nights researching about them, my arachnophobia somehow turned into some sort of arachnomania. I can now identify most spiders by the disposition of their eyes, and it is no longer with fear but out of fascination that I spend hours staring at the corners of the ceiling and examinating every tree branch after them. I actively seek that adrenaline rush from finding brown recluses in the house. Sometimes I wonder if I haven't simply lost the last hold on my flimsy mind
@@spacenaves Whoa, I had no idea it went like that for other people :O I only fear the bathroom ones now (the jittery spiders and the other ones that get confused with them, usually).

I’ve always had this weird irrational fear that someone else is watching my entire life through my eyes and judging everything I do. I have no idea why I have this but it continuously effects me to this day
I always have in my mind that someone could be spying on me via the computer cam whenever Im on the computer, as well as monitoring everything I write and know way too much about me. But know it most likely doesn't happen. But I wouldn't get change clothes/naked in front of the computer for that reason
That is derealisation, you are actually fearing a mental illness.
i feel like that too, but its less fear and more shame. ill be in the shower and be hit with a sudden wave of shame and thoughts like, "im disgusting, im cleaning the dirt off myself and now they (no clue who they is supposed to be) know im dirty."
i dont even know when it started😭
sameee but it started because when i was younger i used to do like weird things and think it’s funny and pretend like i was on call with my classmates and they saw what i was doing and thought it was funny but now i continuously have a feeling people are watching me and judging me like how you are and it’s still here to this day
Same here!
I have a very weird fear of taking a shit (especially if I’m naked) because if I am on the toilet for too long, my brain tries to convince me a character from last anime I watched or game I played is watching me.
i have quite a few phobias and fears, but my weirdest one is having sharks fall on top of me. i believe it was sparked by a nightmare i had as a child after visiting an aquarium with a shark tunnel. in my dream, the tunnel shattered and all the sharks in the tank fell on top of me. this combined my fear of sharks, the ocean, being crushed and drowning, as i am now being crushed to death by sharks while drowning. its something i still fear, not just in shark tunnels but sometimes i get this overwhelming fear that sharks are above me right now and if i make a single mistake they are falling on top of me.
That is terrifying
Must've hated the sharknado movie
I had a nightmare of being flushed down a toilet not as scary now but still the thought of that is kinda terrifying even tho it physically can’t happen
I was originally afraid of that kind of thing but im over it. I didnt have any dreams like that though
One of my biggest fears was having giant sharks (we are talking millions of kms) fall from the clouds. I still have it.
My sister says she has an irrational fear of her animals suddenly starting to talk while she's feeding them, so much so that while she's taking care of them she makes sure to always talk to herself constantly so as not to give them "a gap in the conversation"

I was terrified of National Geographic's age restriction/viewer discretion warning screen, because one time I woke up in the dead of the night and that shit was silently staring me down in the fucking dark. I was scared of it for years.
The idea of waking up in the middle of the night, and a TV being on that wasn’t when I went to sleep, is terrifying to me now tbh. I feel like I have a very specific fear related to them, but only when they’re turned off
I’m absolutely mortified at the thought of bugs or other small things being inside of my ears or other body holes

Similar to the one at 7:50, i'm scared of sudden silence. There's a tv show in germany called Bernd Das Brot, and the channel that aired it would only air like three different episodes a year, and it would only play them shortly before 8pm, and it would only loop them, which already freaked me out. By that I mean it played *the same* episode back to back over and over again, until 8pm, where it would just switch to a screen saying "We'll be back at 6am!" And that's it. It just went from a piece of bread and a robot doing funny things to entertain children to just silence.
Also i'm probably traumatized by that to the point that i'm now also afraid of loops like that

At 2:46 as Matt read... "I had recurring nightmares about the yodeling"... I automatically said out loud, without thinking about it, "the yodeling mountain climber from the Price is Right coming to get me"
Exactly word for word what the guy on Reddit posted. I was listening to this in the background and wasnt even reading it on the screen.
My best theory is me and this 'BRB_Heartattack' Redittor person must have been reincarnated from people who died in an alternate timeline where Yodeling Mountain Climber (YMC for short) gained too much power too quickly and couldnt be stopped.
RIP that timeline.
Slightly unrelated to this, but in that timeline Bob Barker lost his testicals in a horrific dog mauling incident when he was 14, and then again when he was 25, and it's widely believed that's why our timelines Bob Barker always wanted people to neuter their pets. It was Bob's way to get his revenge and regain some control in his life. While this is not necessary information, I hope it gives some people, and animals, closure.
My big phobia (still after 4 years) is emergency alerts. It doesn't matter if its a tornado warning, amber alert, even just a "dont drink the water its contaminated" warning I still freak out the same way. I've had legitimate nightmares where I've been trapped in a room watching a never-ending emergency alert
That reminds me of a lucid dream I had
I was playing a game in vr in the dream and it turned into a real room and every time I would take the headset off it would jump scare me in real life and I was forced to restart AND I WAS CONSCIOUS WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING it felt like it was never gonna end
Until I woke up
Lmfao yeaaah. I’m more afraid of the alerts than the actual warning. At 5am, one went off. As an adult man, I almost cried. Than I read it and it said “local power plant has started showing signs of a meltdown (something like that). Seek shelter. This is not a drill.” My fear didn’t increase. And I felt relieved when the alarm stopped making sounds and went back to bed……it was an error at the plant. So, confirmed: I’m more afraid of an alarm sound than dying in a nuclear explosion. People were late for work that day. Some could not come in. My one coworker was already in a different continent. She was like “oh. It was a fluke? I’m like 5 hours away….can’t make it.” Understandable. Actually, a completely rational response to the situation, given the information provided. Even more rational given, the town I was in at the time was like 10 kilometres away from said power plant. But, yeah. Also, in elementary school, my mark would drop by like 30% in classes with a fire alarm in them, because I would spend most of the class with my ears covered. So yeah…..I get this. Funnily enough, I’m a musician/ producer now, and I really fuck with sound design, so it’s got me wondering if their is some correlation between general emotional ties to noise, and musical comprehension as a whole. Cuz it makes some sense. If you feel fear greater around sounds, you may feel other things more as well. So like, anybody who relates to alarm fear, do ya play an instrument or something?
SAME GHFUOGUOSDHUO

I actually genuinely have that last phobia and I am even more genuinely surprised that another individual shares such a weirdly specific yet disgusting fear. Irrational but it still regularly affects me 😂
I don't like shampoo covers with faces on them because I feel like they're watching me showering

I also have the same phobia. If I’m watching RUclips with someone’s face while pooping I just turn my phone off because it makes me feel uncomfortable

I’m terrified of waking up one morning to find myself terrified of all the things I enjoy- like bugs, snakes, lizards and such. I adore them. I fear the thought of becoming fearful.
That is a _really_ sad thought...
A while back, I was concerned that I would develop a fear of bats (I love bats). I told my therapist that it was really important to me that I didn't develop such a phobia, and she suggested doing a bunch of research on them. Humans naturally fear the unknown, after all, so the more you know about something, the less scary it will be.
I don't know if that helps at all, but this made me so sad that I really wanted to do whatever I can to try and help.
I always liked clowns. Any clowns, even those, who are deliberately scary. And I fear that someday it will change.
But it still makes me really sad that a lot of people are afraid of them or hate them. Even my good friend was once so scared by a guy in a creepy clown costume (he was advertising a scary attraction in the middle of a well lit busy street) that she wanted to beat him up. In my country you can't just become a clown. You have to graduate from a circus college first. And it's really hard to get accepted to. So all the clowns here are just people who devoted their lives to making people a bit happier, to make them laugh, to teach them how to overcome every hardship with humor and a smile on their faces. And all they get for that is minimum wage and hatred. All because of the media and pranksters who taught people to be afraid of them or hate them. They so don't deserve it... I don't even know any other person who feels that way about clowns. Everyone I know hate them or scared of them. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry.

This is how phobia related humor should work instead of the mean spirited stuff you see all too often. I love this self aware “man our brains can be so weird” approach. It can be quite cathartic. My mom once knew someone terrified of large leaves to the point he’d break out in cold sweats. Someone also mentioned fear of pregnant women. I know someone who is very whigged out by the idea of pregnancy so was quite happy to learn she’s very unlikely to ever get pregnant due to a physical thing.
Not quite a phobia, but I have anxiety and for so long used to get very antsy whenever Nightwing would show up in a comic I was reading, especially unexpectedly. I think it’s largely because I heavily associate him with my brother who I even affectionately call my Nightwing and have saved as Nightwing in my phone and the image I have of the character is just generally really particular and really important to me so I would get quite anxious worrying something might ruin him. I’d legit feel all tingly from sheer nerves. What makes it really weird is that I’d only get like that if he was Nightwing. If he showed up as Robin or Grayson Batman or something else I was fine. But if he was Nightwing I’d be anxious. It also only happened with main universe comics. Nothing happened if I saw him in an elseworld comic or in a show or video game. It was by far the most oddly insanely specific part of my anxiety disorder for years. Eventually it just kinda…. stopped. Still not sure why it suddenly stopped but I’m not exactly complaining. My anxiety is usually pretty vague and just “what if SOMETHING goes wrong” but this one bit of it was abnormally specific and direct.
i'm gonna be honest, i thought you were talking about the dragon tribe from Wings of Fire until i saw the other names

I really hate emergency alerts or alarms. They sound really creepy and ominous, and thinking about what they’re warning you about is even scarier.

Not so much those but it’s fire alarms for me. I get very nervous when I hear an alarm even if I know it’s a test and almost go into a panic attack. Never been involved in a fire, so idk where this fear came from, maybe from school when we had fire drills.

" halfway ripped off his nipple " I could imagine a gristle and it gave me the chills.

I find watching this oddly therapeutic to watch.
It makes me feel like everyone has some weird thoughts or fears like that and we just never say them out loud to people because a) they're weird and you don't want to be judged and b) sometimes you forget about them or they're just really subconscious and you forget they are weird. But deep down we're all just fighting against ourselves and the weird and unhelpful connections our brains make.
This video is making me feel much better about my fear of driving down hill, the steering wheel and brakes simultaneously breaking and the car crashing and killing me

I experienced a similar situation when the brakes on my bicycle snapped as I was starting a downward descent from a steep hill.
I didn't really feel time slow down as I've heard other people describe it. I just remember having a considerable amount of time to weigh the pros and cons of jumping off my bike.
The hill merged with a round about and I managed to merge flawlessly into moving traffic.
I didn't end up jumping off as I was frozen stiff in fear.
I don't know how I'm still alive.
So i have no idea how to explain this in english but ima try.
My mum once drove up a 40° ish upward facing ramp into some mall parking lot with like 4 floors. These ramps were maybe 10m long before turning around a corner to the next part of the parking lot, but one time, when we were basically almost at the top, my mums car went off on its own. So, while we felt the car go down and gain momentum, paired with that tickling in your stomach that you know from elevators, I watched my mum try to turn on the car in panic while almost dropping the car key. Needless to say, if she wouldn't have made it in time, the car would have hit the wall and broke or even gone through the wall due to the speed (on the 4th floor).
She cried afterwards from the stress.
I feel you...... not too irrational
@@Buhbayou that is so horrifying... glad you guys made it ok
Irrational fear of Croc’s sandals
The lumpy texture inside of them makes me want to throw up 💀
I broke my foot wearing them when I was 14 so I now want to burn Crocs whenever I see someone wearing them because I associate it with that experience
In primary school, I wrote a story about an alien getting bullied by other aliens for being afraid of soup. As I got older, I always thought it was a very random and silly thing to come up with, but there actually is a person with a fear of soup out there! I can't believe this!
The difference between fiction and real life, is that fiction has to follow the rules
When I was in the 3rd grade I was very terrified of the sun. Particularly of the sun exploding while I slept and me never getting to tell my loved ones goodbye. In the 6th grade we had a lesson about the sun in science and I could not hold back my tears. Thanks science channel, thanks mom for leaving a sick 8 year old in front of the tv without the remote
To this day I have an intense fear of the sun exploding. It’s so oddly specific that I didn’t think I’d ever see anyone share this fear. Have been woken by nightmares about holding my loved ones while watching the sun explode. Then my best friend recommended I play the game Outer Wilds. She’s evil for that 😭
@@mae.glitter sometimes we have to face our fears to overcome them. For me it was having a silent panic attack in the back of my sixth grade science lesson that very suddenly flipped a switch, for you it might be playing Outer Wilds.
Im afraid I cant say much more than that because I don’t know what its about and I’m going to be wayy to busy today to search it up

For the wooden spoons one, my dad tells me stories that he used to get beaten by his grandmother (who lived with him) with wooden spoons and he'd run for his life when she'd pull it out. One time, I was at the house he lived in (my grandmother and great grandmother live there) and me and my cousins went upstairs to feed her, and on the wall there was a 3ft king wooden spoon and it terrified us
Yep, when my mum got the wooden spoon out I ran. Now that i am an adult I realise its fucking wild that you're just allowed to wallop children, with DESIGNATED TOOLS, for minor disobedience.
@@schoo9256 it's illegal where I live 👀
Still happens way too often tho
@@schoo9256 wild indeed. Children arent animals. Even then, its inhumane to physically harm animals. So why do it to your children? There’s better ways to correct bad behavior.
i have misophonia and tthe sound of it makes me scream 🙃
my question is why would anyone need a 3ft wooden spoon? It is a comically large size for a spoon...Does it have a more...Um, conventional and ethical purpose?
Sometimes when I’m getting a haircut I have an irrational fear that they’re reading my mind with the devices they’re using to cut my hair.

One of my fears is that whenever I go to the toilet, I panic if I’m hallucinating nobody there, when in “reality” my mum or someone is there and I’m just shitting on them.
I wouldnt say it's a fear of mine, but it's a concern of mine that I'm not awake. And I'm just gonna wake up wetting the bed like a child. I cope with this by counting tiles. Because in dreams the tiles wiggle but in real life they don't move. I hope this helps you 💪

As a little kid I would always cry during the credits of a film, not because I didn't want the movie to end, just because the credits gave me huge anxiety, they still do.
Is it because of all of the words on screen?
It's probably because I didn't know what happends after the credits, same thing with death, not knowing what's going to happend scares me.
@@upsetti.spaghetti6000 its highly likely that death is just like sleep but without dreams. Any other interpretation, as far as I know, has no scientific backing, and, if you are willing to consider them, you would be forced to give equal value to the idea that anything is possible, and therefore you don't know anything at all about anything and all knowledge could in theory be incorrect. And for obvious reason, we don't consider that. And science does the most consistent job explaining things in consensus reality, which is why that is the base assumption.
Tl;dr, you just stop existing, like being asleep without dreams, or what it was like before you were born. Unless you decide to not use logic and science to determine the probable answer, but in that case, you have cast aside the assumption of consensus reality, and have much more pressing concerns when it comes to uncertainty.
Can't wait for the reply above me to start an argument
@@connmanw7953 it's true though, no need to argue over indisputable fact.
My dad actually had the vomit-red-soda/gatorade thing happen to him. He was at our local water park, had some red soda (Or something, he hasn't told the story in a while) went down a slide, then threw up on a walkway just in front of the slide. The lifeguards all thought he had internal bleeding or something, but he was fine.
Also when i was like 4, i dreamt a duck appeared in our bathroom. For like a month I couldnt enter the bathroom without my dad being there.

One time I walked into the bathroom in elementary school, there where three kids holding up sticks on the shape of the cross and (I think) trying to exercise the llorona from the mirrors 😅 I could still use the bathroom but I just didn’t look in the mirrors. 😂
I'm terrified of loudly flushing toilets

Are you autistic? A lot of autistic people have this fear, especially as children. (Me being one of them.)
For some reason, I was terrified of anyone in any sort of costume. Makeup, wigs, anything that covered the person underneath’s identity scared me the hell out.
And no, this had nothing to do with Halloween
I remember one day in, like, 2nd grade when everyone was dressing up for whatever reason, and it took who knows how long to get me in the class where I could barely recognise anyone.
This also included mascots. Put a popular character on a puffy full body suit, with no voice and no facial movement, and I was running for the hills.
Luckily, I’ve since grown out of this. Except the mascot thing. Those still freak me out for some reason.
EDIT: to all the people saying to stay away from furries… jokes on you, my whole friend group is made up of em.
People in rabbit suits. At Easter. The ones that kids sometimes get photos with, the big white ones with cartoon-y faces.
I see one in a shopping centre at Eastertime and I WILL be heading in the opposite direction.
I am 48.
I recommend you two stay away from us furries and any/all areas that hold Furcons. Specifically Pittsburgh.
Same. Except that I haven't grown out of it. I'm 35
Yea when i was a small child i would get super uncomfortable by mascot suits. They still kinda creep me out but it depends on how they look. Suprisingly i don't mind most fursuits.
@@leasagna2202 SAME! but like those disney mickey and stuff, man....... i get the spooks
This actually made me feel a lot better about my own.
IDK if this counts since it's part of my mental illness, but i have OCD. And one of my compulsive behaviors is that i need to walk through doors in the same spot on my way both in and out (e.g. if i'm leaning slightly to the left on the way in, i need to lean slightly to the right on the way out). If i don't do this, i fear i'll slip through a wormhole into another dimension that's almost exactly like my own. This isn't scary in and of itself, but because i'm scared my friends and my cat would miss me and be upset that i've gone away. The severity of this fear fluctuates, but gets worse when i'm stressed. I'm still deeply ashamed of admitting this, but i'm trying to talk about it more. And this thread kinda helped. So-- thank you.
P.S. If you ever do a part two, yeah, i'm totally cool with this being read. Maybe hearing it in the voice of "the British guy who reads" will help make it less scary XD .
EDIT: Thank you so much to everyone who's replying with their own OCD induced fears. It means so much to hear i'm not alone. I'm sorry if i don't respond to everyone, but please don't stop replying if you want to keep sharing. It means so much to me and i'm sure others who read this, as well.
I also have OCD and have fears like this. OCD is so isolating, so thanks for having the courage to share this and help other people like us to identify with our fellow humans. It's so helpful. Maybe someday I'll have that strength too.
@@audreydimmel6674 Thank you ;; sometimes i fear people will think i'm just crazy. It's nice to hear i'm not alone.
I used to have OCD myself. Can confirm, was the worst 3 1/2 years of my life.
But know this: it got better for me, and it can get better for you. Stay strong!

I’m scared of a few things, but the weirdest one is sudden silences, like people talking and then it all going quiet at once. It makes my skin crawl
I have a similar fear because I’ll ask my friends something or say something and they all just go silent or offline at the Same Time. I panic because I fear I’ve said something wrong and that they’ll leave me for it.
Yeah I get that, especially if everyone but you goes silent.
On the contrary, I am deathly scared of sudden loud noises
Yeah. Especially when it feels like it’s your fault, like you killed the conversation and that they don’t like you anymore and that they will remember that moment for the rest of their life and they’re gonna talk about it to their other friends and one of those friends is gonna wanna hunt you down and beat you up and-
I’m the opposite, lol. I’m scared of sudden loud noises.
that last one is relatable for me, i have a few posters in my bedroom of this band i really like, and after i put them up, i realized i couldn’t comfortably change in there anymore because i felt like they were watching me. though when i take them down, i feel that something is missing and end up putting them back in their proper place.
it’s a never-ending cycle. i am doomed.

Maybe you could get posters with cool prints on them? That way you could have something to occupy the empty space without triggering your anxiety
@@xenapryor8480 that’s a good idea actually
Or maybe cover their eyes with sticky notes or something

I have a bad fear of things like emergency broadcasts, but I find them so intriguing! The word “Emergency broadcast” or “Weather alert” give me bad anxiety
To be fair though, they are designed to instill fear and action as a response to them. The attention tone in emergency alerts was specifically chosen because it is very grading and noticeable on the human ear.
i thought i was the only one! alert/warning screens especially with uppercase letters like WARNING make my heart sink into my stomach

AJERSJHET THE . THE FUCKING 6:37 PLAYED MOMENTS AFTYER WRITING MY REPLY. fucking dying over here
I’m terrified of large enclosed spaces - similar to claustrophobia except the bigger the worse the fear, can’t enter any closed gardens and bungalows also terrify me for this reason as their roof is uncomfortably low
Fears i suffered from throughout various stages of my life:
-fear of the dark (this one has not been resolved and i still cannot sleep comfortably in a dark room at nearly 20 years old.)
-mold (ive gotten better about this but I'm still very thorough about checking certain foods for any signs of mold before i eat them)
-surgery (and i need to get all four wisdom teeth out within a year so thats gonna be fun to speedrun getting over)
-carpet beetles
slightly more absurd ones:
-being afraid that Rasputin's stretchy arm from the movie Anastasia would come out of my toilet's drain while i was sitting on the toilet and grab my ass
-that slenderman would be inside any dark room i walked by, so i always averted my eyes
-the fear that if i posted my art online, someone would impersonate me, claim to be me, do a good enough job that everyone would believe them over me, and then get constantly accused of stealing the art i made
-fear that my deceased relatives are watching over me, even in the shower and other private situations
-fear that random deceased people are watching me, despite the fact that they would have no reason to
-fear of Cholla (jumping cactus) because my uncle told me they jumped out at people and i interpreted this as meaning they would shoot barrages of cactus at me if i walked within a five-foot radius of them
-probably other stuff but i cant remember lol
Update on the wisdom tooth thing: I didn't need my wisdom teeth removed, I needed a night guard.
You’re scared of your wisdom teeth? Don’t worry, the dentist will give you anesthesia, you’ll fall asleep, they’ll fix your teeth, and you’ll be all good

@@GeoJoe_13 honestly understandable, it's an objectively ridiculous fear
Okay, but the art one has actually happened to me
When I was in elementary I had this fear that everybody could somehow see what I was thinking as if it was projected onto my head, I tried to think about the color black but realized that they could see that my head was a literal void so I switched to tan, this lasted for 3 years
I used to kinda think this way and looked at someone and thought nice things about them. Then I told them to get out of my head and a few months later this weird feeling stopped
That's called magical thinking and it is a possible symptom of psychosis lol
I had something similar when I was paranoid (for real) in my late teens. But I used the void as something to scare people off from reading my thoughts. God damn it sounded mental..

My irrational ‘phobia’ is getting rabies. It’s essentially eradicated in my country, as well as most of the world, but it terrifies me because as soon as you start experiencing symptoms it’s too late to cure it.
Its completely rational, if you're not afraid of rabies chances are you've already got rabies

I have a few reasonable phobias, things like a fear of heights, but my strangest phobia is…ice. Specifically, slipping on ice, along with otherwise walking on any other particularly slippery surfaces.
I’m not exactly fragile, I will not keel over or break a hip. I’m a young adult with no need to be as petrified as I am about falling down. But somehow, ice and snow just wreck me emotionally and mentally. It’s specifically the sensation of falling that makes me so damn terrified. Not the pain of hitting the ground or anything, apparently I can take that, but the falling part? That makes me a despondent wreck.
I was out with my friends once and they got to see my reaction first-hand. I didn’t even need to step on anything, just *seeing* the snow made me stop at the edge like there was a forcefield stopping me. It took a lot of coaxing and support from my awesome friends just to get me past the thin layer of snow on the path, and even after sitting down to a meal in a restaurant, I was visibly shaken for hours after. I even cried into one friend’s shoulder because I just couldn’t get a hold of myself. You’d think I’d been traumatized. And all of this happened because there was a path with a thin, easy-to-pass layer of snow over it, that I did not slip on, and the whole time I was wearing the perfect boots that had tons of traction. The mere idea of slipping messed me up that much.
No but like that makes a lot of sense though? I love ice skating but I've fallen multiple times, and ur right about the pain not being the worst, it's just the falling part that's scary. One minute you're going along and the next minute WHAM you're on your butt. Its just so sudden lolll 😭
I think falling is fun
@@DarkWinterAMV Same lol, I've slipped on water multiple times and its actually kinda fun, but the pain though- THE SOAKED SOCKS-
I have a fear of ice/snow after I fell over when skiing and split my lip(and chipped a tooth)..it wasn’t too bad but there was so much blood (which I’m also scared of) and I had to get stitches and get the chipped tooth fixed (I’m also scared of dentists). Still got the scar.
@@bookandquilldoodles yikes that sounds so scary 😭
during the ages of 3-8 years old i was terrified of mannequins, to the point where whenever i had to go past one in a store i had to look away and move past as fast as i could. i was scared of them coming to life or something and coming after me to kill me. this only got worse after i started getting reoccurring nightmares about them chasing me around various places like malls, the street, grass fields, even my own house. i still vividly remember some of these dreams they were absolutely terrifying, the way they waddled around at 10 mph as i had to run from my life. i'm over that fear by now but there are still some moments where i see a weird looking mannequin and i get really freaked out, not to the extent that i did when i was little though lol
If you ever decide to watch Doctor Who, it would be in your best interest to skip the first episode of the rebooted series. Very unfriendly mannequins.
!! Same! Mine stemmed a bit from watching doctor who as a kid. I had vivid memories of em chasing me around part of my home town as a kid so I got really freaked out walking home at night from our local youth club because of the nightmares. Thankfully I've grown out of the fear but not the "what if" mindset when near em

My weirdest phobia is animal corpses. I’m genuinely terrified of seeing a dead fly on my window sill, or the COMPLETELY FLATTENED AND SHREDDED remains of a bunny on the road. Yet I still aspire to collect bones. I like the bones.
Edit: 6:43 THAT SOUND TERRIFIES ME TOO.
wait what do you like about the bones
Something that always freaks me out is a thing that keeps happening in my dreams. It's like this abstract combination of a smooth, flat line like on an EKG display with the flatline tone mixed with white noise. Every time it happens I get the feeling something is terribly wrong, like I'm in a coma and keep almost dying and as I do, I dream that flatlining sound as my senses come out, but then I fall back into the coma.
Well that's freaky I'm sorry you're experiencing that. It sounds scary as fuck
I also have a recurring dream that really bothers me. I found out that crested geckos can technically reproduce asexually, though it's very rare and the eggs, if they hatch in the first place, usually don't survive. Ever since I found out about that, I've been having dreams where my crested gecko would suddenly start reproducing like a freaking rabbit, and I would lose track of which one was her (since animals of the same species tend to look a lot alike) and/or have to find homes for all of them pronto, only for her to make more before I even can.
