Being a mother. Nothing freaks me out more than that.
It's ok to be scared. Being a mother can be tough. Now this is coming from a pre-teen so this is a little scrappy. You should be scared because if you don't, you'd rush and be unprepared. Being scared is what gets you to learn better things. But don't get your hopes up if you do get pregnant. You'd miss out on work, not be able to do somethings, and you're always on the move. Kids mess with outlets, jump on beds, fight with each other. But that's where you come and be a loving mother. Mothers are the courses of life and they help us grow up to be good people. Be a mother. And yes, be scared as all get out or you will fail. I hope this helps you.
Being alone and forgotten, or being watched and murdered in the night
(ಥ﹏ಥ)
Mass conflict, economical recession.
Losing everyone I love and care about....
Parents coming into my room. I always get a
heart attack when that happens
my parents said they would take my door if i didn't stop locking it
Being kidnapped, and then sent back but only to realize my family forgot about me and moved on without me. :(
Showing up on a Bored Panda list as a "how not to be" example.
my family
The only thing to fear is fear itself...and also clowns.
Biden ruining our planet, getting bombed, getting murdered, dolls, and clowns. I am horrified of everything.
That I won't ever be good enough.
You are already, and you always will be. Everyone's greatest fear is of being "exposed" as a fraud. It's called imposter syndrome, and practically everyone has it to one degree or another.
Im afraid of being left alone with just my thoughts. Like, I get lost in a mall or something and my family forgets about me. i am also kinda afraid of being mocked for my sexuality. But not on BP, everybody is so supporting here!
Cardboard
Spiders. Like, everything about them, i just hate them. Ugh
My thoughts are pretty f****d up at the moment..
the dark, snakes, my school acceptance letter not coming, and
rodents.
Coming out to my parents because they will kick me out. I'm also scared of blood, the ocean, and my parents finding out all of my secrets.
“We need to have a talk” it doesn’t even matter who is saying it, it always freaks me out. Or even when my parents just walk in my room without knocking. Most of the time, I have nothing to hide, but it just gives me anxiety.
"we need to talk." god those words are terrifying
the last time my mom said that to me, she was asking me what i wanted from the pizza place. the first time she said it, she was telling me the worst news of my life. it's so f*****g scary to hear it
Agreed. ‘We need to talk’ is always bad news in my experiance.
Injury. :)
NEEDLES. That's the only reason why I'm scared of the COVID vaccine. It's actually terrible to be scared of needles.
I used to be afraid of needles, but once my thyroid went bad and I needed lots of blood tests until my endocrinologist I eventually just got over it. Also, when I set out on a trip tp Africa (from California), I had to get eight shots and the nurse who gave them to me was so fast and so good, I barely felt anything.
People. Just, people. I'm quite the introvert.
I'd like to rephrase this one. I'm more scared of having to interact and hold a conversation, rather than people themselves.
Uh this is WAY weird but going to the bathroom and finding a snake in the toilet.
That Turkey and Azerbaijan will attack my country again.
I cannot deal with heights. One time my family went to a rock climbing building in tulsa and was made to climb halfway up the tallest one which I think was 60 feet tall and I was stuck there for what seemed to be half an hour but apparently it was more like 12 minutes.
My Dad made me cliff-dive into the ocean. I cannot. CANNOT. Tell you how scary it was because I thought I was going to die and seriously almost drowned because I was frozen in terror when I hit the water ;-;
Being out in the dark, clowns running towards me, MY SLEEP PARALYSIS DEMON, my dad. Dad freaks me out when he yells at me. Being upstairs alone, being DOWNSTAIRS alone, being alone all together! Pennywise mostly scares me
I hate being alone, mostly because I think something is in the room with me. My mom scares me when she yells at me, though I try not to show it. The dark (especially outside) is super creepy and I'd rather die than stay outside in the dark for any period of time. You're not alone
Okay, so, I think it'd be myself, or like, my thoughts.
I scare and disgust everyone around me, including myself with real-life things and monsters.
I love monsters and stuff, but I scare myself with how my head twists stuff up.
And I'm also afraid of not being good enough.
Just be the best "you" that you can be. You'll be more than good enough.
That my husband will be mad at me because I took him to the hospital just before he died when he meets me on the other.
RIP Baby, I'm sorry.
Now...... Lemme say this (and not trying to be rude to your hubby or whateva) but he should be happy that you tried to save his life before it was too late. If I died and my boyfriend took me to the hospital just before my passing, I would be grateful that he tried to stop what he knew was inevitably coming :(
Hands down, being kidnapped. *Shudder*
Gain a lot of weight and become obese. You'll be harder to kidnap and they'll leave you alone.
literally when my twin brother is in danger or something. like he means the whole universe to me. literally
I want a twin. Bad. Especially in COVID... nobody to talk to that gets me
So I have a few things atm. When I take a shower, I always leave the closet door open and the shower curtain as well just so that I can see if there is an ax murderer in there. And also, yeah, family problems. Like the fact that my Mom's house is horrible and my Dad's is better, but my Mom won't hand over custody because she's super stuck-up in her own business to acknowledge what is best for me. So, yeah. *Also I've always slept with a blanket over my head, and I don't know why. Blankets make me feel safe*
Blankets are the best. I'm waaaaaaaaaaay older than you (maybe even older than your parents) and I love my blanket and my teddy. Having something cuddled close is great for stress relief.
Money. My local authority is putting the council tax up by 5%, the police portion of this horrible tax is going to increase yet my pension .... well, I don’t yet know what the percentage will be. Needless to say it won’t be anywhere near as 5%.
Pet food price increases too.
Failing to be a decent human being
The fact you're concerned about it tells me you have nothing to be concerned about.
Drowning :(
Does anyone ever just sit there and wonder all the ways you can die? Or is that just me..
My parents hating me for being bi, being forgotten, or everyone treating me like I don’t matter or exist
If people have a problem with you, by definition it is THEIR problem, not yours. You just be the amazing you that you can be.
What will happen to my children when I'm no longer here.
If they’re adults when that happens, they’ll have enough experience in life to cope with the immense pain it brings them.
At this moment, probably coming out as bi. I know my parents will most likely support me ( They support gay rights like marriage, adoption, etc. ) but the thought of coming out still freaks me out. But I keep almost accidentally outing myself to people with jokes and stuff.
The fear is often worse than the experience, but we're rooting for you either way
A mutation of Covid-19 that could resist a current vaccine because we don't care to vaccinate poor countries simultaniously to the richer.
Crashing or being crashed into while hauling my horse.
I’m afraid of going off the rails and losing total control over my life. Like I just spiral out of control. It’s a crazy fear, but, one I have. I overthink things wayyyyyyy too much. Like, if I go to the grocery store with my mom will I get shot or kidnapped? If I go outside will I get hit by a car? Hard to explain. I have crazy thoughts bombarding me 24/7. It’s like, there’s a bad person in your ear telling you to do very bad things.
May sound crazy... but: YOUR THOUGHTS are NOT YOURSELF! Who is "having" them? THAT'S YOU! And THIS doesn't have thoughts or feelings. Moreover, tell people about your situation! About 90% of humans have fears/thoughts like yours.
The little shadow that moves whenever I look out of the corner of my eye.
Donald Trump becoming president again....
1- Death. Duh
2- Being forgotten
3- Being humiliated
4- Murder
5- Losing loved ones
6- ****ing clowns
7- Ocean
8- The dark
9- Bugs
10- Heights
11- Myself, My thoughts, and what I could do to myself
waking up and realising that i was in a coma and the year is December 31, 2019...
The money will get scarcer than hen's teeth.
The government will just print more. They printed 17% of ALL the money ever printed in 2020 alone and there is no sign of stopping. The good news is, you have better odds of being a millionaire! The bad news is, the dollar won't be worth s**t.
Myself and my thoughts.
I twist monsters and kidnappings and fires into a huge worryhole in my brain. Also, not being good enough.
Did you ever consider that the monsters etc. are an expression of the latter (not being good enough)? Realise that none of both must be feared of. Don't fight against each of them, just identify them as what the only are: Just thoughts.
Needles, fire, strangers, natural disasters, losing someone I love, small holes close together, what’s in the dark
Yeah... I also have Trypophobia... I hate it! Whenever I see the water droplets on my arms when I take a shower, I get creeped out...
getting teeth pulled.
Bugs.
EEeeuurrrgghhh I HATE bugs they are TERRIFYING. Most nights I tend to be scared that I'll go to sleep and dream about GIGANTIC and terrifying bugs (well unrealistic for where I live), or swarms of bugs... I dream nearly every night, and it can be hard not to think about that scary possibility. AAH you're not the only scared one. 🙂
tbh, i'm scared of having sleep paralysis. i can't imagine not being able to move, and most of all, sleep paralysis demons.
being criticised by friends.
i need to stop criticising.
1. Painful death
2. What can hide in the dark
3. Losing my family or others I love
4. My sleep paralysis demon( its like an even more terrifying beast from beauty and the beast)
3
Losing everyone I care about and also what’s behind the shower curtain at night
Pennywise, Demogorgon, Grievers (Maze Runner)...
I watched them when I was 8... Now I'm scarred for life
(12 now)
Rejection in love etc.
Imperfection
In one of Botho Strauss' theater plays, the main character says "I love another person not because of his strength, but because of his weakness". Helped me a lot...
Dying angry. I am currently healthy. FYI. I make a choice to not carry anger around and I have always had a fear that the one time I let myself blow up and get good and proper mad will be the day I croak
I'm scared of the fact that ever since I was little I've had an imaginary friend... I looked him up it turns out he was a famous comedian who died 24 years ago at age 100 but he says if I tell anyone his name he will possess my body all of yall are the first people to know about him.
Maybe you could talk to a psychologist to figure out what you want to tell yourself
This coronavirus virus bull taking too much longer to go away
I would say fire but that’s not true. I guess it’s that everyone will turn my back on me once they see the monster I am. I just want it to stop but people already don’t like me, and I just want to help.
Can I say something? You are not half as bad as you think you are. if people are truly worth being friends with, they will love you no matter what your flaws are, everyone has flaws. It is what makes us human. I used to have the same insecureties, until I found a friend who helped me realize our worth.
i live alone atm and my health is not the best so it would be me dying in my sleep and being found after weeks when the neigbhours recognize the smell
My biggest fear is getting raped, and no one believing me. Both are horrible, and both are a very real possiblity as a 5'2", eighteen year old girl.
Getting covid and bringing it home to my wife. I don't much care about myself (I'm in my 60s), but she's the rock of our family and the major earner.
Financial security. Being alone. Becoming a mother. Abandonment.
Is it weird that I'm scared of the zombie apocalypse happening.
my own sleep paralysis my most recent was a god damn monkey with those golden plates it was just sitting on the top of my closet door so f*cking menisingly
I know those monkeys you’re talking about.. one of my worst nightmares is one crawling into my room and staring at me!
Another one, sleep. I’m always really scared just going to sleep in general, because I feel like something bad will happen. When I eventually go to sleep. I always have really bad nightmares. I try to avoid sleeping, because of these nightmares, but I never manage to stay awake. I don’t actually know if this is related, but, whenever I’m in a low down bed I fall out in my sleep, or I get tangled in the sheets. I’ve woken up having what feels like a panic attack several times. I don’t actually know what’s wrong with me, but there’s why I hate sleep.
Maybe you should talk to someone about it, someone who will understand and possibly someone who cares about you. Why don't you try keeping a bible open next to you for a night to keep the nightmares away? It worked for me. Just don't put anything on the bible to keep it open.
MIRRORS IN DARK ROOMS. My sister gets really scared and believes thers like demons and stuff and most of the time i don't believe it or it doesn't scare me BUT THE THOUGHT OF ANYTHING IN A MIRROR THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN THE ROOM FREAKS ME OUT. Like, a mirror in daylight gets me a little nervous, BUT I REFUSE TO LOOK IN ONE IN THE DARK. I have a combo of Catoptrophobia and Spectrophobia. Also i guess i'll just add that my sis has Nyctophobia, not the exact fear OF the dark but of what's IN the dark.
Other people touching my stuff. Makes me feel icky. Also i dont like crossing the street (idk why) and doing the wrong thing. Like even just following a recipe I always have to double check what it says.
Death and space I have panic attacks about this sh**
Space (the solar system and stuff, not open spaces) sometimes gives me panic attacks. It’s so freaking scary knowing that anything could be out there. Even just looking at stars makes me feel sick.
murderous clowns killing me in my sleep
My current BIGGEST fear is ✨PEOPLE✨
People... ugh.. They're mean. I dont like ✨PEOPLE✨
It's an acquired taste. Usually, a good hot sauce helps at first and then you'll be eating an entire arm by yourself!
My biggest fear is clowns.
Coulrophobia... An often arising fear of the Masked. Basically the same as the fear of height. As far as I know, there is no remedy for this. Luckily clowns are rare 😉.
Extremely tall people that aren't the most innocent people (some streamers I watch)
SPIDERS( because on my first time having a SPIDER ATTACK, when me and my sis was with my dad (irl) spiders came from everywhere and i remember like it was yesterday, so we ran outside and me and my sis where getting caried by our cuzins and then our grandparants came and got up, idk what happend to my cuzin but i know the are ok becuase i like saw them...umm...not too long ago. the second time was, i was with my sis and mom and alot of hairy spider came out and one was trying to get on the bed and i lept from the bed to the corner and my mm was like: moni, whats wrong with you, the are on they are on the vent ,they can't get you. 3rd time, i was on the bus and a bunch of little green spider dump on my head but luckly two of my friend illed them and thre e'em out the window and calmed me down but when i got half was off the bus, they was a big spider and idk if it was ded so my bus driver said: maybe its charlotte web. but he just was trying to calm me but i ran off the bus and into my house crying. so i really HATE SPIDER even grandaddy long legs eve tho my grandma told me not to be scared of them or kill them but i dont do that i get scared when i see it and see them and i want TO KILL THEM)
Becoming homeless.... I'm 37 with 2 kids and I've never had a "good" paying job ($14-$16/hr FT)... The cost of living has outpaced my earnings year after year... I live with dread that I won't be able to support my children.
Never getting back into the office. I live with my retired alcoholic mom and I can't take it anymore.
Okay hear me out, the apocalypse. It’s not the idea of the every man for himself, death, disease, zombies, and mass murder it’s the thought that i know I can save my self and hide in the bunker for at least a year but what about all the people I could save that I won’t?
Also this story about this freak patient with no expression that bit a doctor and said she was god, no one has seen her since.
vomit. diarrhea is second. cause they are GROSS. i've also never had diarrhea that I remember (so, not since i was a baby). i'm terrified of it.
I had the fear of vomiting too when I was younger. It has passed now, only because I got a disease that made me vomit a lot and I actually got used to it. If it helps, I can tell you, that you are not alone, this is a recognised phobia called Emetophobia. Look it up, and you can find others with the same problem to talk to. I know there's a subreddit, for instance. Best wishes.
~ dogs- I've been scared of them my whole life.
~ not being able to go to college for a history degree
~ democrats and how they'll abuse their power
That I will not be young forever and no matter how hard we work we will all die no matter what went on in our lives so nothing matters.
Oh, s**t get ready.
I recently watched a video on tik tok that originally came from YT, some say the guy kept a serious face others say he smiles. Some people I think committed suicide and others scorched out their own eyes. I was like: 'Okay, Imma watch it.' Then I did, there was a red guy and there was red lighting in a red room. The guy started laughing but it was demonic, I was only 2 seconds into the video and I decided "Nuh uh." So I stopped the video. I remember how his smile grew, what would it look like if I stayed? What would've happened if I kept on watching it? Why can other people not see the smile?
They say that they couldn't found the person who made the video, thank goodness YT deleted it. I don't know if I will get over it soon, I hope I do.
Being truly alone with no life around me for the rest of eternity
happiness
