Everyone is unreasonably terrified of something. We all have some sort of overwhelmingly awful phobia that immediatley precipitates a fight or flight reaction in us

For some of us it's spiders, for others snakes, and ad inifinitum. I cannot handle needles. I'm making this thread because in about 20 minutes I have to go get a tetanus shot so I can register next semester and I swear to God I'm having an anxiety attack

What terrifies the shit out of you and how do you deal with it

    I think my only fear is that I care just a bit too much.

    I used to be terrified of needles myself

    Today I am getting a flu shot and it is not bothering me, so I guess I'm over it

    Spiders on the other hand

    Spiders

    Spiders with other, smaller spiders on top of them, riding around like the bigger spider was some kind of spider-bus

    i'm utterly terrified of my food coming to life, tying me down, and eating me in bits and pieces, ever since I saw young sherlock holmes as a kid. little cupcakes and headless roast chickens chasing me down. also, because i use food as a substitute for love, the thought of food turning on me is terrifying.

    You guys know what's up

    There was a spider about the size of my thumbnail on the walk next to my bed once. I kept psyching myself up, all "man I'm gonna crush this motherfucker. Motherfucker picked the wrong bed to hang out next to"

    Fifteen minutes later I had to get one of my roommates to kill it

    i do not deal with it

    one time i went under our deck and saw my beagle just staring at this possum. the possum was growling at my dog, while my dog was just all "hey what's up"

    i had to wait until the possum moved a little away and i snatched my dog and went inside

    Asking for a first date.

    Usually I have the flight reaction over the fight one. Though. That would be even more awkward.

    i was hopping the wall behind my house once to come back from an improv game i went to go watch my school's team play in, it was something like 9:30 at night, winter, it had been raining. so i go to hop over this wall and once i pull myself up on top, and right where i am there is this huge... thing.

    i am all 'what is it a large cat?' then it freaking hisses at me foaming at the mouth and tries to attack me. i freaking go O_O, jump down the wall back into the school land and shaking like a leaf walk the long way back home.

    So easy to get incredibly flustered and horrified over. All telling yourself it's just the unknown and that anything could happen while the logical part of yourself is all like "Nah dude, your body shuts down and what makes you human stops working."

    And I'm all like goddamnit logic stop it. :(

    I ended up with a suspended license for a short amount of time because my insurance ran out and I had been uninsured in another state for a while so I had to keep insurance in Virginia and it was all weird.

    Anyways, I was consistently irrationally scared whenever I saw a cop because I was sure he was going to pull me over.

    That went away. I don't really have anything now.
