SwimOdin Posted August 23, 2020 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

SwimOdin Posted August 23, 2020 Author Posted August 23, 2020 Ides of March? Or just the concept of the month.
Sawdamizer Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 fixed.... but now im suspicious of the month based on my phones motives 1
argylepancakez Posted August 23, 2020 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
SwimOdin Posted August 23, 2020 Author 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.

resurrected Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 Eggs. But I'm in no way fixated on them. I don't want to touch them. I don't want to smell them. I don't want to see them. And I'd eat a roach before I'd eat an egg.

Other than that, I cannot. Like, I won't eat quiche, frittatas, French toast, etc.

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

Raptorpat Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 As long as it wasn't in butter form. He could never know how much butter went into the potatoes.

Raptorpat Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 I am kind of the same way, except I don't need to go through the theatrics of hiding the butter
SwimOdin Posted August 23, 2020 Author Posted August 23, 2020 Really tempted to post pics of butter but this is a safe space

I went across it, but disco drove and I laid down in the fucking floor board. Also that goddamn monstrosity in Charleston, SC is the work of the devil.

Naraku4656 Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 like I could do all the other ones there, even did Nitro once, but I would never EVER do Kingda Ka or any coasters like it. I'd probably actually pass out

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.

Disco and I know all the good local spots, and all the shit that's not on the tourist radar. Of course, the tourist spots as well. Like movie filming locations, haunted spots, etc.

Bouvre Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 As a writer, even while writing a new idea, I'm constantly plagued by the fear that what I've written--or am writing--is the last idea I'll ever have. It's this idea that I'll lose the ability to be creative.
rpgamer Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 Sometimes I feel a twinge of concern that I don't seem to have a normal fear response. Does that count?
