#my fears

Nope! Heights don't tend to bother me. My actual fear isn't on here.

😱

Food poisoning.

My grandpa once told me a true story.

A news article about a person who ate pasta that had been sitting out for several hours.... bacteria ate their insides alive.

I fear eating food that sits out for too long.... especially when it is any kind of pasta.

Mini Star Trek Discovery/SNW panic rant ahead

Ngl I highkey panicked when I found out that Michael was Spock’s sister and they just hekka inserted another sibling into his life in canon with no questions whatsoever for funsies. I was like- you can’t just do that???

But then. I finished watching all the original Star Trek movies and realized that they already did that with Sybok. So. It’s not like this would even be the first time that Spock never mentioned having a sibling to everyone in his life anyway, which, to quote Jim “gives me emotional security”.

I’m the kind of fan who both gets really excited about new content but is also really skeptical of it being made well. I just. Especially with this new Trek stuff being in universe supplemental to tos… like anything they do in the show is supposed to fit into tos canon and that makes me a bit wary… I just. I really really like Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner and DeForest Kelley and my OG crew. And I like my reboot crew too, but they are LITERALLY in an alternate timeline reality so they can exist in their Kelvin universe bubble and play with their toys and have Jimmy blue eyes and Vulcan actually destroyed… but this new stuff with Discovery and SNW? I want it to be good, and that terrifies me.

Anyway. Umm. So that’s all. I just really want them to do Gene Roddenberry justice and do the og Star Trek justice while obviously still having the space (haha) to be their own thing because it is it’s own show.

I just. Star Trek.

Star Trekkkkkk.

my irrational fear is that one day I will scroll so far down tumblr that it'll just stop and I won't get anymore posts even when I refresh and I won't be able to use it anymore because I scrolled too far down.

I learned a new term today: quarter life crisis. I didn't read too much on it, but I think it's like a midlife crisis, except it happens when you're in your twenties. I'm only turning 18 this month, but I think extenuating circumstances forced this to happen. Puberty, my mom's death, and probably a whole lot more snowballed until I ended up feeling almost constantly stressed about the future. I hate it, but I don't know how things like this go away. Until it does, I'll continue venting on here.

Sometimes I fear the most is a failure, once an individual fails it's an expensive financial and emotional hit that takes months to years to heal from that initial loss.

Fears.

I've seen similar themes with arachnophobia. You doesn't know what the spider can do, so you're scared of it because it's UNKNOWN. if someone comes up and says “Hey, that spider is actually not capable of biting.” then you would no longer be afraid of the spider. Even if it was poisonous, if you're told that then you'd be like “finna get the fuck out of this building” but you have that piece of mind now because you know!

This is a common theme with hundreds of phobias, maybe even all of them. fear of the dark, snakes, small spaces, heights, deep waters, even death.

Personally, i have a crippling fear of rejection. After writing this, i've convinced myself that learning about rejection, and learning about the phycology behind my fear; it would no longer be.

In conclusion, i believe the key to overcoming your fears is learning about them.

Ligyrophobia is the fear of loud sounds such as music (some music not all) clatter pans and pots and etc I wanted to draw a photo bassed off this fear! I'm willing to do more fears if y'all let me know

Yeti Dreams

By Mr. PoetAll

I fear,

that your winding roads

are mine, too.

I fear;

that although we've been on the same road -

we are not in the same car.

A vehicle, of

who knows, who is

steering.

And, if;

it wasn't bad enough of a ghostly driver -

there is and seems to always be a storm stirring.

Like the suspense you see,

in only a horror movie.

With winding roads,

hail frok who knows;

rain, sleet, and snow -

lightning strikes as though that were not enough to get us to fold.

...but we trudge on.

Maybe in stupidity,

or in,

foolishly hopeful to see the ending.

See,

we have two much in common,

to not be

too close together.

I understand,

the heart striking thought

of,

what if I'm wrong

and I'll be punished

for being gay.

This way,

my dream boy

is only one way of thinking

-

and that's out.

Like with out,

the thought of fear,

we would surely and indubitably,

adhere - the oenetration

of peace should be one

that come hell'r highwater,

we've been able to not only withstand

but stand with pride of a lipn.

Bevause my name

no your name

no our name means little king.

And if we are Mufasa's Pride

then I guess,

that makes us both Simba, right?

And if we are Simba (and we are),

then these yeti dreams we have of someone

killing us should not be a fear

only another challenge to extonguish.

Speaking with distinguished thoughts -

I don't just love you till the coffin drops.

Death will NEVER do us part.

And if death meets us nefore our lips get a chance to properly meet,

here is a poem in a poem, that I hope you will retrieve:

"Roses are red,

Viplets are blue;

From the first time our eyes met,

I knew I ooved you.

Maybe this was a reminder that we've seen each other,

now in reincarnation form,

and if so,

I hope that we both will not leave each other in the cold

yet instead,

keep each other warm

-

with the thought

of defeating each other's

yeti dreams.

My therapist: Why do you submit to others like this? What are you so afraid of?

Me: I- Idk...

My therapist: Are you afraid of her? Of what she can do to you?

Me: No! I'm just... I'm afraid of being left alone, afraid of meeting new people and not knowing if they might be worse

[elliesself]

I hate that I’m so scared

I build it up in my mind

I refuse

Even when I know I’m safe

Because the fear of rejection

The fear of hate

The fear of being unloveable

Is too strong to ignore

And keeps me quiet

Even on my best days

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

a bottom-tier autistic experience is being told throughout your entire childhood that you are just an overthinker when it comes to social situations and later finding out that your friends did, in fact, hate being around you and tried to communicate that through weird little hints

[caffeinatedopossum]

Me when I remember something I said ages ago that was wrong or my values no longer align with

[wanderingmind867]

The fact that I have no real in-person friends sometimes worries me, especially because of all the peer president I experience from my family (even though I know their intentions are very good). I worry that I'll be a depressed hermit when I grow up, and I sometimes worry that this lack of friends will cause me to have an unfulfilling life.

To help assuage these fears, I need to ask: how do you make friends? Can you live a fulfilling life without friends? What happens if your only friends live far away? Etc.

You’re placed in a room with an animal. The door is closed and you cannot leave. The animal is completely calm and has no intent of harming you. You are in no danger unless you provoke the animal in some way.
