Truthless of Shinovar Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 I had the thought to create this thread due to one of my weirdest irrational that I remembered today. Basically, you know how when it’s a beautiful day outside and you’re in the car so you just roll down the windows and stick your arm out? Well, one of my all time biggest jump-scares/irrational fear is whenever my arm is out the window and someone else starts to roll up the window. It catches me totally off guard and I yelp every time. Maybe it’s the fear that my arm will get chopped off or something, but it scares the heebie-be-jeebies out of me. So... if you’re ever in the car with me and my arm is out the window, don’t roll the window up. What’s your worst fear (rational or irrational)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spren of Kindness Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I have a very irrational fear of high schoolers. It stems from Pokemon Go. Basically, the local library was a Pokemon Go hotspot, and so all these teens would be sitting outside it, and I was very nervous and intimidated. At the time I was even shorter than I am now. This fear is now slightly awkward, as I am a high schooler myself. But it's still there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enter a username Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Talking to people I don't know. Seriously. If someone comes up to me, I just kind of freeze and also sometimes panic a little. Just a little.

Channelknight Fadran Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Discovering alien life. I am terrified of discovering alien life. Why? Because the Great Filter, that's why! When I was a kid (way back in ye olden days, where castles were hip with the times and dinosaurs still walked the Earth), I was scared of infinity. Not sure why; I guess the concept just confused me, and I'm not a fan of being confused. I was also terrifascinated (terrified and fascinated) of Black Holes--I still am, actually, but more fascinated than terrified. I'm also afraid that I'll never get to meet another Sharder ever in my life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it wasn't? What if it was similar to what we have or just looks advanced due to unfamiliarity? Or what if the Great Filter is something that tests us? What if an attribute that we take for granted as humans is really quite rare and allows us to keep going, be that tenacity going on stubbornness or knowledge of when we're fighting a losing battle? Or what if humans are so stupid that we completely miss the obvious/catastrophic option? Or so smart that we know to judge the consequences of our actions? Our sample size is one, so we really can't know for sure. Edited August 22, 2020 by Enter a username 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
