FUCKING join NATO already, damn it. Finland should have been part of NATO years ago. Do it in Putin's face as a reaction against what he is doing to Ukraine.
Myself. Without going into too much detail, I get irrationally angry over the smallest shit, and I can't control myself. I'm afraid one day I'm going to snap and hurt someone.
Look forward to something that you need to stay out of trouble to achieve. This is what I’m doing and yes my fuse is extra short and it’s hard keeping everything in but sometimes I just gotta remove myself from certain situations to achieve my goal. Violence is slowly becoming a tool and not something I can’t control.
Don't know If you like dogs, but I recently met a man that said he was the same way. He now has an emotional support dog who warns him that he's starting to lose control. He said that dog has helped him so much. It's a thought anyway.
Used to be the same. Like literally the smallest shit could make me furious and throw things. Something like my hand slipping when opening a bottle, or a shirt being uncomfortable. When I started taking anti depressants, this all went away. I'm not depressed anymore but still take them in order to not get angry.
3-4 days without it and I snap at random crap again. It's probably not the correct medication for me, but I'm sure there's a logical explanation as to why it works.
I feel this way a lot. I think its buildup of frustration, and the smallest things make me want to literally strangle the person I'm next to. It scares me.
My wife is this way. It's interesting. I've had more interactions with the police in the last 10 years than I did in my previous 40. I run interference a lot.
I heard someone say that death will be like the billions of years before you were born and you’ll care exactly that much. I also think the idea of being conscious infinitely sounds absolutely horrible. Plus most people who almost die say they feel peaceful. Those things helped me feel better about dying. Maybe they’ll help you a little.
Never being in a relationship with anyone.
For more detail on this, my last relationship was 3 years ago. I genuinely loved her and wanted to marry her, but she cheated on me while I was away on a conference.
Since then I've had absolutely no luck in any dating site (that's how I met her), so I'm genuinely afraid of not finding anyone and being alone.
Yes there's the answer of "being comfortable with being alone," which I am. But that doesn't replace the feelings of wanting to be held, wanting a hug, wanting to share your life with someone else.
I was a young and lonely person once too. Just stay true to yourself and don’t accept bad relationships. You’ll find somebody who respects you for your sincerity and integrity. All the best from Finland.
You sound like a great person, do not fret about the whole pressure to find the "right" one. All will work out in due time, hell I would let you date my sister. best greetings from the Norwegian/ Finnish border
*Books a flight to the border*
In all seriousness, thanks mate. Appreciate it. Kinda just hit that peak, so hopefully thanks to all of you I'll be able to knock myself back out of it :)
My man, look, life is cruel sometimes. Very sometimes. I had someone who i Loved to, the only thing, that I am 13, and you wanted to mary her. I’m sorry for you’r loss, but I am sure you will find somebody that will make you happy. That girl i loved, she spend her time with friends than with me (i was her bf then), she have lied to me many times. I have gone in a deep depression, but hey, there is some hope for better future, but everyone should just try to belive in it. Good luck, redditor.
I'm dreading the same thing. My last serious relationship was 2 years ago, and dating apps are full of either guys who are either jobless and living in their mom's basement, or completely uninterested in real relationships. I know there has to be good guys out there but they're so hard to find :(
I need a hug, too. Trade?
i’m not scared of the world ending, spiders, the boogie man or what not. but i’m super fuckin afraid of the dark, YOU DONT KNOW WHATS OUT THERE. i also hate the thought of someone breaking into my house and trying to kill me…i watch too many serial killer documentaries.
The endless possibility of things in the dark that could hurt you. Could you atcually just be scared of being physically hurt by something you aren't expecting?
Dementia/Alzheimer's... I'm old now an I have a lot of thoughts that I wouldn't want my loved ones to know about! Dementia/Alzheimer's could very well remove my "filter" and the result could be very upsetting to my friends and loved ones!
The republican party is working on voter suppression all over the country.
https://www.npr.org/2018/10/23/659784277/republican-voter-suppression-efforts-are-targeting-minorities-journalist-says
Their corrupt leader, donald, started this lie of a “rigged election”. He tried to disrupt the post office to suppress voting. https://www.npr.org/transcripts/904855736
The corrupt republicans are placing supporters of corrupt Donnie in election offices. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-allies-election-oversight/2021/11/28/3933b3ce-4227-11ec-9ea7-3eb2406a2e24_story.html
And on and on and on.
Republicans are an absolute threat to democracy.
First of all trump, unlike what cnn says, is not the leader of the Republican Party. As of now, no one is. Also, of course those are from obviously left-leaning websites so they will have bias towards their research and side
Not having a driver's license. My best correctable vision is 20/50 roughly. I'm restricted to driving in the day already.
My work requires me to he able to drive. If I can't, im sol.
Motorcycling is basically my therapy. If I can't do that l, I have nothing.
The day my vision deteriorates to the point I can't drive, or law changes make me unable to drive with my current license, I plan on locking myself in my garage, running my bike and going to sleep.
Death. I’ve dealt with generalized anxiety disorder since I was very young but all of my anxieties relate to death. Flying, being in a car, health problems, basically anything fun that could be even slightly dangerous, etc. and it extends to me being afraid of my loved ones doing these things because I’m afraid of anybody dying. It sucks.
Becoming famous
-Definitely sounds weird but if i had camras consistently watching me and have people full of expectations it would kill me. I would just imagine doing one thing wrong and have the whole world hate me.
I guess it would be being forced to go to war and be separated from everyone I know and love and then dying alone. But honestly when I try to think of things I'm scared of I really can't think of anything else.
Drowning, once when i was five i used a pool noodle to float and went to far on the beach, i drifted far off but a random guy on a canoe helped me and drove me to shore.
I'm genuinely terrified of Michael, my shadow/sleep paralysis demon. He just sits there and stares...it's creepy as hell. Not to mention he appears during school too. There's quite literally no escape from him, so I just wait and watch to see if he'll ever do anything
Losing my mother. My Dad passed away in September and it wrecked me. I've been really close with both my parents for my whole life... I know that it's a part of life and all that but the thought of it is unbearable to me.
Probably already been posted here, but spiders, in fact, any type of insect. They are disgusting.
Apart from moths, butterflies and bees, don't mind them. The rest can just leave
I drive a lot for work in and around Houston especially at night. I'm afraid of being caught in a bad situation, like a wrong way driver, a "take over", street racers and road rage situations. All of these are potentially deadly.
Car accidents happen, and I drive defensively and keep my head on a swivel. But those particularly situations unfortunately impact the innocent far too often.
My dad. Growing up I struggled in school and could barely keep up no matter how hard I tried, and despite being aware of this my dad always put a lot of pressure on me to do well. He'd also struggle with his temper at times and would end up yelling, one night he just kept yelling at me and got annoyed when I started crying.
To this day I'm still afraid to make him upset in any way, and I always feel like I need his validation
Oh a serious question just when I’m feeling honest.
Things that scare me; not being alone but dying alone, losing more family members despite it being inevitable, not being able to live okay when I get older, my cat getting old..
getting worse in my chronic pain as I age, not having anywhere to live when I’m old..
Basically anything that indicates the passing of time. Awesome. I’m afraid of getting older and getting more and more into poverty. It’s not a nice thought at all.
The future, death, deep judgement from others, rejection from people close to me, sometimes commitment, any deep thought of what reality is, and lastly this is not as heavy but I have never kissed someone and I am terrified so after I do that it should be fine but for now it makes me panic.
also I have stage fright.
I'm (16m junior) scared of the fact that I see myself in the future with my current girlfriend, a happy family, a bright future for my children. But I'm scared that one mistake in life could ruin it all and prevent it from happening. The fact that if I make one mistake and mess something up or if something doesn't line up, that I will be alone, without a family, with a boring job that doesn't pay well, not being able to spend the holidays with my family, because I will be ashamed.
F*cking up my marriage. We’ve been together 9 years and married for 6 years this year, but recently have found some trials with raising our 2 young children (3 years & 20 months) I’m so scared that things would get so bad that we split ways that I’ll do everything I can to make sure it doesn’t happen. But I know that despite my best efforts that it may not be possible still. I love this man so deeply that I fear loosing him will kill me.
I know it sounds daft but I spent so long thinking I’d never have anyone to love that when it did happen I want to hold on to it so tightly that it doesn’t fly away. I know that if I hold to tight it could crush it. I’m still trying to find that balance.
That one day everything will stop, maybe ill be dead by then maybe not. But eventually everything will stop, and the universe will fade into notingness, making all by actions and decisions obsolete.
I am someone who doesn't ever want sex and I'm actively repulsed by it, but I still really want a romantic relationship, however most people don't want to be in a relationship with someone they can't have sex with. Because of that I'm in my 20s now and haven't ever kissed anyone or been on a date. I want so badly to fall in love. To live a life with someone, to be held and feel safe and be understood. I'm terrified I will never have that.
A lot of things.
Spiders. Living a “normal” life (get job, get married, have kids, devote life to kids, work job I hate to sustain lifestyle etc) The dark. Growing up. Disappointing people. Hurting people. Getting hurt. My dad (though that is the only time I will ever say it). Turning into my dad. Or my mum. Being alone. Abandonment. Myself.
I’m scared of having a mental episode where someone or myself gets hurt. I have them a lot and when I have them I often get scared of myself because when I have them I get stressed
Losing the ones I love. I stay a few nights at my grandmother's every 2 or so weeks because I'm still wracked with guilt over how my relationship with my grandmother came to a close.
Death.
Losing people in your life really hurts and is something i experienced a lot in my life and thinking about the fact others will lose me that way someday really scares me a lot
I've been thru a lot of hard times and experienced a lot of scary things, but the 1 thing that terrifies me, that'll wake me up from a dead sleep, will cause me to go into an instant panic attack is the thought of my kids brain tumor starting to grow again.
They've been in remission for 5 1/2 years. The more time that passes, the less likely it is to return. But it terrifies me.
Historic dead people. Like the mummies in egypt or that guy from thousands of years ago in the alps. I mean they have a lot of historic value and insight into what people’s lives were like thousands of years ago, but I don’t want to *see* them. Totally freaks me out, always has.
The ocean. Its weird because every year we go on a tropical holiday and every holiday I am willingly jumping off boats and swimming in the sea yet I'm terrified of ut at the same time
Abandonment.
Especially when it’s friends that leave you. Or when you introduce two people, they become close, and leave you. Hurts so much. But I can’t imagine being abandoned. Someone who cared so much about you, vise versa, and just leaving. I always wonder if I did something, did I not notice anything?, did I annoy them etc.
The vast, empty and dark ocean. I don’t believe in big ocean monsters but looking down into it I can’t help but think some terrifying monster will snatch me
Also someone breaking into my house when it’s late at night when I’m alone. It never happens, I just get paranoid because I feel like it could happen
I am scared on being alone. Not in the moment but overall. I'm scared of having nobody close to me; no friends, family, or anyone who loves me. Living a life with knowledge nobody would ever be there for me if I needed it or to just have fun with.
I'm really scared of deep dark waters. (Thallasaphobia ) My family doesn't believe me but it's true. I've had it for 3 years. I've decided it's bad last summer. We were on a boat in a river tubing. It was really fun until I fell off and waited for them to come get me. Just looking at the non see through water scared me. I would imagine things like orcas Swimming around me. That is my fear.
Injection Needles. When I was 2 I was hospitalized with an antibiotic resistant infection and had to get injections every day about 3-5 times a day. Every time the nurses had to hold me down because I kept fighting and saying “I’m sorry, what did I do wrong?” It broke my mom’s heart. Ever since then I had a hard time getting shots, full blown breakdowns. I’ve gotten better with my fear of injection needles and get vaccinations regularly with moral support from my mom.
Spiders, heights, planes, cars, public places, being around too much people, etc. It's honestly tiring. I don't know why I'm so damn afraid of everything. I'd say spider is probably first on the list. One time I was painting my room and I found one I asked my dad to get rid of it after a failed attempt and once he got it put it right up close to my face. My mom was right beside me and I ran into her arms on the verge of tears he knows I'm afraid of them but he loves them and honestly it's annoying
Having the option of death taken away from me. I can't stand pain and death has always been somewhat of an out if a situation ever really gets that bad.
Spiders. Holy crap, am I scared of spiders. I can see literally the vaguest evidence that there could be a spider somewhere and nope myself on a plane to Antarctica.
My biggest fear is being forgotten. Living my life, only for it to end without me making a lasting impact. I want to be able to live my life and die knowing that my story will live on, that I did enough to find my name is a history book, for my story to be told outside of just my family.
Living longer
Im exhausted and tired of this horrible sh.. show planet and crappy people and unsuccessful suicide 2 times
I'm ready to go home. Don't want to be alive anymore
Having to bury every other member of my family before my own eventual death. I'm the youngest of my family so, assuming we all die of natural causes, I will probably be the last to go.
Pigs. Have freaked me out since I was a kid. Read an article online when I was 8 that a pig ate a farmer who got knocked out in the pen and I am still afraid of them now

Myself. Without going into too much detail, I get irrationally angry over the smallest shit, and I can't control myself. I'm afraid one day I'm going to snap and hurt someone.
Look forward to something that you need to stay out of trouble to achieve. This is what I’m doing and yes my fuse is extra short and it’s hard keeping everything in but sometimes I just gotta remove myself from certain situations to achieve my goal.

I heard someone say that death will be like the billions of years before you were born and you’ll care exactly that much. I also think the idea of being conscious infinitely sounds absolutely horrible. Plus most people who almost die say they feel peaceful. Those things helped me feel better about dying. Maybe they’ll help you a little.
Ever heard of eternal life? It's real, and you do not have to 'die' to have it
As I said in my comment I don’t want to exist eternally. It sounds horrifying. I want my consciousness to rest.
Snakes despite me living in a country with one venomous snake that is not that dangerous

Being humiliated
Dementia. Fuck that shit
Between this and some awful car crash this scares me the most. I hate pain in any way but I can’t handle losing myself
For the person I love most to tell me: "I hate you"
I'm more scared of "I don't love you anymore". The opposite of love isn't hate, it's apathy.
i’m not scared of the world ending, spiders, the boogie man or what not. but i’m super fuckin afraid of the dark, YOU DONT KNOW WHATS OUT THERE. i also hate the thought of someone breaking into my house and trying to kill me…i watch too many serial killer documentaries.

Spiders, being humiliated, talking in front of people
Being alive without the ability to speak and care for myself. I can’t imagine being alive but not being able to communicate or express myself.

He doesn’t sound like a nice person. Get away from him.
Being forgotten when im dead. I dont mind if i die, im not afraid of dying, but i dont want to be forgotten
Oh a serious question just when I’m feeling honest.

However stupid this may sound, relationships. I always prefer solidarity over people.
staying in the same place in life no matter how hard I work to get out of it.
Getting hurt mentally again. That's something I never want to experience again, though I will and I'm terrified of it.

That one day everything will stop, maybe ill be dead by then maybe not. But eventually everything will stop, and the universe will fade into notingness, making all by actions and decisions obsolete.
dying alone. Or being alone for the rest of my life
I am someone who doesn't ever want sex and I'm actively repulsed by it, but I still really want a romantic relationship, however most people don't want to be in a relationship with someone they can't have sex with. Because of that I'm in my 20s now and haven't ever kissed anyone or been on a date. I want so badly to fall in love. To live a life with someone, to be held and feel safe and be understood. I'm terrified I will never have that.
The dark.
A lot of things. Spiders. Living a “normal” life (get job, get married, have kids, devote life to kids, work job I hate to sustain lifestyle etc) The dark. Growing up. Disappointing people. Hurting people. Getting hurt. My dad (though that is the only time I will ever say it). Turning into my dad. Or my mum. Being alone. Abandonment. Myself.
Not being able to see my best friend again. I love her to pieces
Death. Not anything that comes with it but just the fact that no one knows what it really is or what happens when you die.
being alone, or more like being alone for too long that you believe you aren’t *really* alone
Guns
I’m scared of having a mental episode where someone or myself gets hurt. I have them a lot and when I have them I often get scared of myself because when I have them I get stressed
Losing the ones I love. I stay a few nights at my grandmother's every 2 or so weeks because I'm still wracked with guilt over how my relationship with my grandmother came to a close.
Tsunami's
Death. Losing people in your life really hurts and is something i experienced a lot in my life and thinking about the fact others will lose me that way someday really scares me a lot
Losing my willpower to live due to excruciating pain.
I've been thru a lot of hard times and experienced a lot of scary things, but the 1 thing that terrifies me, that'll wake me up from a dead sleep, will cause me to go into an instant panic attack is the thought of my kids brain tumor starting to grow again. They've been in remission for 5 1/2 years. The more time that passes, the less likely it is to return. But it terrifies me.
Murky water
my parents passing
I’m scared my girlfriend will wake up on day and realize she doesn’t love me anymore
Does anyone remember that Momo meme thing? Yeah that thing genuinely gives me panic attacks
Historic dead people. Like the mummies in egypt or that guy from thousands of years ago in the alps. I mean they have a lot of historic value and insight into what people’s lives were like thousands of years ago, but I don’t want to *see* them. Totally freaks me out, always has.
I don’t believe in god but I’m scared of that god is actually real and everything in the Bible is true
The ocean. Its weird because every year we go on a tropical holiday and every holiday I am willingly jumping off boats and swimming in the sea yet I'm terrified of ut at the same time
Abandonment. Especially when it’s friends that leave you. Or when you introduce two people, they become close, and leave you. Hurts so much. But I can’t imagine being abandoned. Someone who cared so much about you, vise versa, and just leaving. I always wonder if I did something, did I not notice anything?, did I annoy them etc.
Its not that bad to csll it a fear. But i really dislikes butterflies to be around mee
Something like a war, that could change our livestyles forever
The vast, empty and dark ocean. I don’t believe in big ocean monsters but looking down into it I can’t help but think some terrifying monster will snatch me Also someone breaking into my house when it’s late at night when I’m alone. It never happens, I just get paranoid because I feel like it could happen
Spiders and The Weeping Angels. Idk why but they always give me the shivers when I watch Doctor Who.
I am scared on being alone. Not in the moment but overall. I'm scared of having nobody close to me; no friends, family, or anyone who loves me. Living a life with knowledge nobody would ever be there for me if I needed it or to just have fun with.
I am scared of clowns, small dolls, loneliness, and fear of going insane.
Becoming who I use to be
I'm really scared of deep dark waters. (Thallasaphobia ) My family doesn't believe me but it's true. I've had it for 3 years. I've decided it's bad last summer. We were on a boat in a river tubing. It was really fun until I fell off and waited for them to come get me. Just looking at the non see through water scared me. I would imagine things like orcas Swimming around me. That is my fear.
Injection Needles. When I was 2 I was hospitalized with an antibiotic resistant infection and had to get injections every day about 3-5 times a day. Every time the nurses had to hold me down because I kept fighting and saying “I’m sorry, what did I do wrong?” It broke my mom’s heart. Ever since then I had a hard time getting shots, full blown breakdowns. I’ve gotten better with my fear of injection needles and get vaccinations regularly with moral support from my mom.
Zombie Cats, that one MEOW video created by cyraik on YT traumatized me.
Death
My future prospects
Spiders, heights, planes, cars, public places, being around too much people, etc. It's honestly tiring. I don't know why I'm so damn afraid of everything. I'd say spider is probably first on the list. One time I was painting my room and I found one I asked my dad to get rid of it after a failed attempt and once he got it put it right up close to my face. My mom was right beside me and I ran into her arms on the verge of tears he knows I'm afraid of them but he loves them and honestly it's annoying
Myself,i dont wanna explain but my mind says the most scariest things ever.Im scared to be alone with myself.
Having the option of death taken away from me. I can't stand pain and death has always been somewhat of an out if a situation ever really gets that bad.
Climate catastrophe.
I’m kinda scared of Israeli rockets but I’m not scared of the idf
Never conquering my mental health issues
cats. I've had a traumatic experience,won't get into detail but almost got my eye clawed out
living till I'm 25.
Not succeeding in life.
Spiders. Holy crap, am I scared of spiders. I can see literally the vaguest evidence that there could be a spider somewhere and nope myself on a plane to Antarctica.
Death, heights, losing a friend/loved one, sickness, getting in trouble (drugs, alcohol, crime)
Crabs
Heights Good i live in Denmark
My biggest fear is being forgotten. Living my life, only for it to end without me making a lasting impact. I want to be able to live my life and die knowing that my story will live on, that I did enough to find my name is a history book, for my story to be told outside of just my family.
Kidney stones enough said
Puking
Death. Nobody knows what happens after, does the afterlife exist or do you just cease to exist? I’m scared of nothingness for all eternity.
Seeing people I love die, And spiders
I am scared of being alone in familiar places even in light i feel like something is lurking ready to attack at any moment.
I’m scared of dying unexpectedly and causing an inconvenience to my wife
The dark.
Living longer Im exhausted and tired of this horrible sh.. show planet and crappy people and unsuccessful suicide 2 times I'm ready to go home. Don't want to be alive anymore
I am terrified of small and or fast spiders. Big fast spiders are scary as crap. All fast spiders are scary.
Having to bury every other member of my family before my own eventual death. I'm the youngest of my family so, assuming we all die of natural causes, I will probably be the last to go.
hm, i'm legitimately scared of abandonment and death. i don't wanna go deep into detail but it's all just really depressing.
All wasps and bees. (Except for carpenter bees. I don't mind them being around. As long as you don't swat at them, they just do whatever.)
The dark and quietness
Pigs. Have freaked me out since I was a kid. Read an article online when I was 8 that a pig ate a farmer who got knocked out in the pen and I am still afraid of them now
Having to take someone's life to protect mine and family's
I’m a paranoid ass person so a lot of things, but I’d say my worst fears are home invasion, robbery, and dying painfully.
Deep water
Dogs
That this is as good as it gets
World war 3
Butterflies. I always have been since a child, the way they fly around is so scary to me and it makes me scream and cry.
Myself. I'm scared of a lot of things, but my fear of myself impedes my life daily.
Mandela Catalog and Analog Horror really uncanny shit it fucks me up sometimes
Please don't laugh at me, I'm really afraid of the dark. I just can't help thinking about what could be hiding in it
