For me, it’s disappearing. That someday something will happen to me and no one will ever know what it was and where I am. That I will become one of those mysteries you see online and on TV shows. Whenever I think about it I feel nothing but dread.
Dementia.
My mother has dementia.
Every time I forget something I know I should know it terrifies me.
Get tested early. Your mother’s dementia may not have been found till late stage. We have treatments for the earlier stages
Thank you for that.
That’s a fear I have as well. I heard walnuts are good for brain health, but they taste like dry paste. I still eat them with some fermented foods and it helps. I also heard pizzle games are supposed to help keep your brain engaged.
Letting down people I love somehow
Ask to be their pallbearer.
Fortunately I don’t know any scrum masters personally so they would not even get the experience of being let down last time by a dev. Exceot in a purely metaphorical sense I guess.
I have a phobia with butterfly spawn, the wiggly kind.
Can’t look at it, don’t wanna talk about it either cuz then the image pop up in my mind.
Don’t mind the adult form or the pupa. Also fine with other larvae since they all mostly look the same.
Heights, s.n.a.k.e.s, clowns, and being kidnapped and getting sick or not having feminine products while I’m locked in a place without adequate facilities. Also, the vastness of things like the ocean or the grand canyon. And that I’ll wake up from the dream, be 12, have to relive my life, and wont know how to get back to this exact spot.
What is so bad about snakes?
No feet
That’s not true. Many snakes are over twelve inches long! Hope this helps.
Does not make me feel better. 😱😳 The way they move makes me nauseous. If i see them in the street i feel like i have to pick my feet up off the floor if my car.
Hopefully you encounter as few as possible in the future.
The idea of living as if my life hadn’t really started yet and then one day realizing I’m old and I wasted my life.
There is no changing the future or past actions. The only time you can change anything is this very moment. If you focus on what you may or may not have tomorrow, you aren’t living today.
I don’t really know how to describe it, but it’s like I go through life just waiting for the other shoe to drop. When something shocking or remotely dangerous happens, my brain automatically assumes the worst is going to happen and I like go into survival mode. I get filled with such dread.
Having to work for another 20 years.
ooh. don’t make me think about that. If its even only 20.
I have another 40 :(
Checks calendar, “oh shit.”
Haha only 20?
Look at the millionaire that only has to work 20 more years
Change. Particularly the kind I can’t deal with.
The past year or two in the online landscape has been turbulent and has shown me that I fall back to the familiar as a coping mechanism. And if that familiar should be unavailable… Ouch. ;_;
If you can’t control the change, why would you treat yourself as if it’s your fault? Change is inevitable. Learn to be at peace with yourself and exterior changes won’t affect how you feel.
I would suggest a few books for you if you’re interested.
My biggest fear is something happening to my kids. If something happened to them my hair would turn white, I would curl up in a ball and die.
Or something happening to my wife (who I’ve been in a relationship with more than half my life now). This is about the only thing for me. I’ve come to gripes with my own mortality but even I’ll admit it would be hard to move on from the loss of a close loved one. Grief is just difficult.
Willful Ignorance
nearly everything unfortunately. my therapist tells me my amygdala is over active
Are you afraid of mustard?
not unless I’m wearing something that I care about getting stains on
lol, that gave me a chuckle.
Seeing how rapidly and how fervently the public, one’s own family even, can be turned into puppets of powerful interests. All it takes is the right messaging. The right conditioning. Television was just child’s play. Today we’ve got “smart” phones, baby!
Hey I’ve seen this one! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyce_Vincent
My biggest fear is that my office chair might break in such a way that the hydraulic piston breaks through the seat and punctures my colon.
Well thanks a lot, that’s now my fear too.
You are welcome!
Gotta get an ass guard, like Thor has
Oh… oh no… Damn it, I will never sit in an office chair the same ever again without thinking about this.
That’s niche.
Have you seen the Mythbusters episode?
I want to both upvote and downvote this comment… I chose upvote.
And I thank you.
