Let's talk about being scared of stuff.
I'm scared of a lot of things! Here's my list:
- Dams
- Ghosts
- Mean ghosts
- forests at night (they're haunted)
- floating. . . things (like ghosts)
- nice ghosts
- spiders.
- the demon (ghost) from paranormal activity.
- math
- my ex wife. (HAH! Just kidding. I'm scared of her GHOST.)
- Those red things from "The Village".
Indifference is the only form of bravery I embody. I'm a coward, I'm a wimp. It's only when I don't care about something is when I manage to face it; not out of strength or willpower, it's an astonishing level of dispassion for the situation.
And you know what? It takes a lot to get to that point. It takes a lot of examination and a lot of evaluation to hate something, be terrified of it, make myself sick of it by thinking of it so much, and then literally, completely, not caring.
I am untouchable because I am impartial. I am okaacy with these facts as they stand.
I also stand firm in the fact that I'm okay with "ignorance is bliss". When I was like. 8 or something, I watched this thing on TV about aliens with my Mom. I DIDN'T SLEEP FOR A WEEK. I was convinced aliens were going to come snatch me out of nowhere because I watched a thing about rednecks in Texas seeing UFO's. Same thing happened with a documentary on Hell (and various religions "take" on the concept) and- this one is my favorite- the BERMUDA TRIANGLE. I thought it was going to come get me.
Let me repeat that: I THOUGHT THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE WAS GOING TO KILL ME. I HAVE LIVED IN IDAHO MY WHOLE LIFE.
So fear is weird. How do you get over your fears? I feel like mine is a daily struggle; I'm scared of people and talking to them and getting out of bed, going to school/work is really hard because of it sometimes. Whats your magic formula? Has anything stopped you from doing anything before?
Uhhh I'm still not good at ending these. GOOD NIGHT I LOVE YOU.
I am terrified of bridges. Not ALL bridges. Just some. I shake and cry and curl up in a ball when I see one that scares me. Once, I even slammed on my breaks in the middle of the freeway...when I was driving, because one came out of nowhere(in Portland).
ReplyDeleteI wish I could give you a cure. I wish you could give me a cure.
One question though. Why are you afraid of people? You seem so friendly!
B'awww bridges would be terrible :( I can tollerate dams since they aren't really. . . yanno, around much, but bridges. Eesh.
DeleteI think it's just an exaggeration of normal peoples anxieties about being in a group; am i talking too much? am i not talking enough? do people think i'm an idiot? do i have something in my teeth? am i wearing a shirt?! but it's debilitating sometimes, which sucks.
I figure the only way to make up for being such a weirdo is by being friendly :) I legit love everyone!
