I lived across from a forest so at night I was always scared if there would be wolves that would come out and get me before I made it to the front door. Was always so scared when I was young lol and I would rush out the car to the front door.
the idea of dying, but to fair i was quite athiest as a kid.
It got to the point where if i thought about it, the thought would leave a hole in my stomach until i came to terms that I’m being selfish for favoring life over death; even tho they’re equal in the exchange of universal flow, i was terrified of it solely because i didn’t know what it would feel like or when it’d happen
There was an episode of Hey Arnold where his Grandpa tells some story about a train engineer that went mad and drove the train into hell. I had nightmares for weeks and it still slightly freaks me out if I think about it now.
Hmm. I’d have to dig but one thing that stuck with me is the heart she holler. Especially the commercial with her arms cut off talking about “this is finally getting interesting” terrified me more then anything as a kid. Now? Still disturbing. But more so entertaining.
The song “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” sung by Judy Garland in the original Wizard of Oz film. Gives me chills and a feeling of dread – and I don’t know why.
Staying at my cousins house, saw something on the floor. Looked like some kind of mold/mushroom I’d never seen before. Was like the underside of a mushroom cap with the striations and roundish.
Over the next week, my imagination got the best of me. It became a flesh eating virus (well before that was a thing) and was going to kill me in my sleep.
One day while pondering over it, watching it, waiting for it to rise up and attack me, a breeze rose up and the bane of my young existence fluttered.
It was paper thin. In fact it was paper like. I girded up my loins and then touched it. It was slick. It was smooth. It was….
A cut out from a magazine. It was part of a school project that she’d lost. It was a picture of the butt of a polar bear! 🤦♂️
dolls especially those freakishly realistic ones, my siblings used to tease me with Annabelle and Chucky, it’s not as bad now but I’d rather still avoid them
My stepfather once told me that there were baby sharks in the deep end of pools, and to this day, if I see something in the deep end, even a shadow, I kinda freak…. LOL
Slenderman I was a kid when it was an internet crazy an then a couple of girls lured their friend into the woods and killed her to honor him. Freaked me out and still does
When I was a kid, the ‘big kids’ went to watch a movie. Little me insisted I could handle it, despite my mother telling me I couldn’t. I escaped her grasp and run in right as some guy tore the heart out of another. I ran back out screaming and crying.It haunted me, ass I thought it was real.
As an adult I know it’s just a scene from Indiana Jones.And The Temple Of Doom, and it’s very much fake. Hell, I’m a big Mortal Kombat fan, where that happens regularly. Yet I’m still scared of having my heart pulled out of my body by someone.
Some of y’all didn’t read “ absolutely ridiculous “ saying normal fears adults have.
I was terrified of ketchup. Couldn’t be near it, the thought of it touching me repulsed me. Got some on my shoe in high school cried and threw away my shoes and walked barefoot my last 2 periods of school. 😅
The back of semi trucks swinging open suddenly. Even before I saw final destination I just had a fear of them when we were on the highway. Even today. Knowing that those boxes are LOCKED TIGHT, I get around them as fast as I can.

Toxic gasses, because of that one horrible histories book on ww1 that I read when I was wayyyyyy too young

Clowns. Still can’t watch any horror movie that features them without getting the heebie-jeebies
I was convinced something would grab my feet if I didn’t jump into bed fast enough. Even now, I lowkey avoid letting them hang off haha

Pinocchio it’s so weird but he freaks me out 😭😭

getting diabetes or cancer
The thought that the closet might somehow come alive at night. Still gives me chills sometimes.
Bugs crawling into my ears as I slept
Dying
The sand lion thing in alladin lol

I was afraid of the dark.
I was terrified of the inside of the human body. For some reason I went to college and studied the inside of the human body for 8 years.
I used to think that if I looked in a mirror too long, my reflection would do something weird.
Nazis
The whale at the bottom of the pool or the shark that will come out of the filters/pool drains.

Introducing myself to strangers. Social anxiety for not being liked and accepted plus shyness.
Today it’s not that bad though but I still feel it.
Pool drains. I hate swimming near them, to the point I will try to avoid lanes with them or beside them
Killer Bees. Trolls under/at bridges ( confused TROLLS and TOLLS) and panicked every time we had to stop and pay a bridge toll.
Vampires
The prospect of being decapitated
The bars where the wave machine is in a swimming pool. I always assumed that’s where they kept the sharks. lol
I was always scared my parents would build brick around my bed and trap me inside while I was sleeping 😂 … now I’m just claustrophobic

Quicksand. Every muddy patch had the potential to swallow me up, so was carefully avoided
Bodies of water at night
Earthworms
I make sure my ears are covered. As a little kid, I just knew bugs were going to crawl into my ear, walk a path into my brain, and start eating it.
Sorry for any anxiety this might have caused. 😀
