SwimOdin Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 What things absolutely freak you out, you have no control over, and also realize you have no control over, and yet you're fixated on them? I'm terrified of entropy. The heat death of the universe in 100 trillion years keeps me up at night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

argylepancakez Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 driving certain routes on the highway. or really big things. the lion turtle from avatar freaked me out. and the giant torterra from detective pikachu. so maybe i'm just afraid of giant turtles. i find entropy very comforting lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimOdin Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 I don't think the highway thing is irrational, unless it's like a super safe stretch of road. There are a couple highways in Atlanta that I get tense just thinking about. Giant turtles sound cute. I don't even care if humanity can't survive, but I hate to think that the potential for life is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I guess that's a common enough fear but I don't think I'm even allergic or anything. I will still freak the fuck out if I even see a single bee even if it's a harmless one like a bumblebee. I remember a couple years ago we were at my parent's for some holiday and they had a bee's nest or something in one of the vents so when you used the downstairs bathroom you could hear buzzing in the vent. I almost had a heart attack every time I used the bathroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those little bridges going onto Hilton Head are about as high as I want to get. I had to drive there every night for work, and I avoided going over the Talmadge Bridge in Savannah. I took 95 instead. A bit longer, but totally worth not facing my fears. I also had to go over that son of a bitch in Charleston for the same job. I was the asshole holding up traffic on it. I was going about 35 while those assholes were going 80. Except the ones that were behind me, pissed off. I gave zero shits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
