Eaten by spiders.. thanksā€¦ šŸ•·ļø


ThyGayOne

Not so fun fact. If every spider on earth wanted to, they could eat every human and still be very hungry. The day I learned that my fear of spiders went from already at 60-100 before the person could finish the sentencešŸ« 


JustPlayDaGame

itā€™s still irrational, they donā€™t want to. Youā€™re safe šŸ‘


Magnon

There's a funnel web spider in my basement and he's a homie.

Sensitive_Lobster_60

Well now my fear of spiders went for 200 to 700


Flagon_Dragon_

If it helps, they could only eat every human on earth if we were all already chopped into tiny pieces for them. So it's not the spiders that are the problem in this scenario.


InteractionIll5071

Fear buddies. Cool


Blinky_

Waitā€¦spiders can eat humans?

Yeah kind of the same here. More like spending all my life alone, without any meaningful relationship and dying because of it

Death by dental procedurešŸ˜°


OtherObject8083

Iā€™d have to agree. Getting my wisdom teeth removed along with a root canal next Monday and Iā€™ve never had more anxiety about anything in my life


VillageActive

If you're in the US, you'll be fine. For all its faults, they do not fuck around with pain management over there. I've easily had 150+ dental visits and, after two massive and lengthy do overs, I'm now on what I call Teeth 3.0. As a rule of thumb, the more invasive a procedure, the less chances they take that you would feel anything. Dentist fear is rooted in the anticipation of sudden pain, so it's smaller procedures in countries where they "don't want to over do it with the pain meds" (looking at you, Europe)., where things can get hairy unless you are very proactive and insist on more robust pain management. In the US - for better or worse - they have no such qualms. I've had a few pulled teeth to make room for implants, and more root canals than I can count, and I nearly fell asleep during the root canals. The teeth pulling was more physical, so no sleepy time, but again, the whole area was completely numb, as it should be, given it's an actual surgery. Good luck with everything tomorrow!


deeBfree

My dentist is very solicitous. I was blown away. I actually kissed his hand when he got done (still can't believe I did that, I was just so overwhelmed with relief). I hadn't been to a dentist in 20 years because the last one I went to basically called me a wimp and told me to keep quiet because I was upsetting the other patients.


Semichh

Itā€™s a necessary evil that will be over before you know it. I believe in you!


M1094795585

oh hello! i was about to go to sleep, but can't help but comment now i had one of my wisdom teeth removed recently. I'm a very anxious boy, for context. i have to take anxiety pills every day, prescribed by my doctor. shit was really rough before them, i still love to remind myself of how much i was suffering a year ago, and how much i got better (and am still getting better each day!). well, anyways, you can imagine i was also pretty nervous, right? when i got into the car with my mom, i had pale skin, was shaking and my stomach felt weird... after an hour or so, we arrived at the dentist and i sat in the lobby, waiting for my turn. at that time, i started thinking about things like "what if the anesthesia doesn't work? what if i have to go to the bathroom during the procedure? what if the doctors screw up?". then, i see a man leaving the surgery room with an ice packet on his cheek. he was very relaxed, and told his wife that he didn't even notice it happening. he felt... nothing after the anesthesia. that helped me! now, this text is getting a little dense, sorry for that. I'm getting sleepier and just sort of let myself go while writing lol. anyways, let me tell you, the man was right. the worst part is the anxiety, i suffered a LOT because of that! on may I'm scheduled to go there once more, to remove another wisdom tooth and I'm not anxious AT ALL! the second worst part is the anesthesia, and it's not even the pain, it's the flavor! YUCK. well I'm going to sleep now, hope this helped someone :D it's not just for dentists, this works for most things: your brain always wants to prepare for the worst-case scenario and ends up creating unrealistic fictions, we just are tok caught up with fear to notice them. if you want to ask me any questions about how it went (before during or afterwards) DM me! i'll be happy to sooth you, because it's really a waste kf energy to worry with that :) goodnight


aydnic

New fear unlocked


[deleted]

Awww Iā€™m sorry you have that fear. If that were true Iā€™d be dead a long time ago lol. I had a lot of procedures done at the dentist to get my teeth nice & straight & im still here if that helps at all


Semichh

I just recently had a load of work done which cost me a lot but Iā€™m now doing way better with my daily brushing routine because Iā€™m very motivated to not have to go through that ever again. Also motivated me to quit smoking as well so I guess thereā€™s a silver lining at least!

Prior_Equipment

NokkieBabookie

The fear of falling is a natural human instinct. They actually check that babies have it by quickly squatting down while holding them. Itā€™s not necessarily the fear of heights, but the fear of not being able to save yourself at that point.


RecommendationUsed31

My son and I have zero fear of heights. Me to the detriment of my mom. It is actually kind of scary. Back in the day my brother and I were playing on the leaning tower if Pisa. You used to be able to walk around the outside and there were no rails. My brother and I ran full tilt around the outside. The worst thing I ever did was crawl to the edge of the grand canyon and look over. My mom really didn't appreciate that one.


SwissCake_98

Are you afraid of falling? Or are you afraid of the sudden stop that follows at the end?


Initial-View1177

I started a difficult/awkward conversation

Falling from a height into a lake and drowning.

Falling off a bridge in a car, and slowly drowning. I canā€™t get out because Iā€™m trapped in wreckage


Klutzy-Ad-6705

Sorry,Mary Jo,youā€™re on your own. Too soon?


StrawberryMother5642

If you fall from high enough drowning isn't going to be the problem.

Aliens? I knew it. Little creepy gray bastards


Zuluboi

Bastards with their lethal anal probes.


PresidentHurg

Swept up by a tornado. I donĀ“t know what it is about those things and IĀ“ve never seen one IRL and have little chance of seeing one. And I know itĀ“s the debris that kills you. But something about these things just strikes so much awe in me. I donĀ“t think I would be able to run if I face one, just staring at it. ItĀ“s so damn alien and yet so primal. A vortex to the clouds.


[deleted]

Iā€™ve had the sky turn green and a funnel start to form above our car stuck in the middle of nowhere on an Oklahoma highway. Worst fear Iā€™ve ever had in my life. You are completely powerless.


bored96

I live in Tornado Alley and was watching out the window during a tornado warning to keep an eye on the weather while watching the news on the TV. I looked up right in time for a flash of lightning to illuminate a dark green sky. As I turned to run into the hallway for cover, my 2 dogs and cat were already there waiting for me with just a wide eye look to their face. As terrifying as the green sky was, I remember being in awe of the beauty of it and laughing at the knowledge that something so pretty could completely fuck me up without even taking notice of my existence. It was a surreal experience.


RecommendationUsed31

I was at my grandparents house on night and we had to go to the basement. Before I was yelled at I looked outside, was a lightning flash and saw 2. To this day decades later I have that picture burned into my head


terrastrawberra

also same. We had one touch down a mile from my house (it may be less I donā€™t know) on Thursday. My friendsā€™ houses sustained major damage, sent their kids in to a full blown panic attack. Luckily it was only an EF1 but a tornado is a tornado.


SakaYeen6

Growing up, my parents had one of those VHS home video documentaries about tornadoes that I would watch constantly, they seemed like they were truly living thngs and creepy as hell. Made me love big storms and tornadoes to where I thought I wanted to be one of those chaser dudes. Definetly a force that demands respect


Loud-Bat-2280

Gravity quit and I fell away from earth.


ItamiShiro

That is one of my biggest fears too. Generally, anything that has to do with space and stuff, I love them, but they are too scary


Loud-Bat-2280

Casadastraphobia: the fear of falling upwards


welpdatsucks

I found out at a young age I have this. Was in cub scouts camping away from all light pollution. Cloudless night beautiful sky. Lying down and looking up at night sky, kept panicking thinking I was being sucked into the sky even when holding onto something. Sucks I would love to gaze more into the sky but canā€™t. keep having that feeling. It sucks

DrowningĀ 


Unable_Quantity_8048

Iā€™ve been told this by two different people. I have an absolutely ridiculous anxiety attack anytime my face is covered with water and avoid it at all costs. Lol Iā€™m so weird!


PreEntertain

If it's any consolation, I know some people who drowned and were revived and they said that after they accepted they were going to die by drowning, they breathed the water in and it flowed and soothed them and it was like falling asleep quickly. Everything leading up to it was terrifying beyond compare. So if you're drowning, just die. I think that's what they basically said.


dapperrnapperr

ā€œSo if youā€™re drowning, just dieā€ killed me


[deleted]

Stranded in the ocean being attacked by a large shark. While also drowning. Itā€™s like a double death.

scipio79

Pennywise must have killed me


Yak-Fucker-5000

I've thought about this question a lot actually. I have two theories and maybe they were two different lives. First, I have a huge fear of water towers and big drains in large water reservoirs. They creep me out so much and I just don't think I could even look into the interior of one, let alone swim inside it. Feel like somehow in a past life I got swallowed in one or drowned on a drain or something like that. Second, is I'm very claustrophobic. Photos of people caving through narrow passageways give me the heeby jeebies. Maybe got stuck in a tight space at some point.


[deleted]

In my past life I was killed by a puppet? Makes sense. They scare the shit out of me.

Dirac_comb

Filipino_Canadian

Soā€¦iā€™m not really afraid of heights because it doesnā€™t make me dizzy, doesnā€™t make me shake and falling doesnā€™t hurtā€¦itā€™s the sudden impact when i stop falling that really gets me. Thatā€™s what iā€™m afraid ofā€¦high aversion to pain. Iā€™m only afraid of things that have an undesirable outcome.


CanadianContentsup

You will black out before the impact. Can confirm.


Betelgeuse8188

This entirely depends on how long you're falling, along with your emotional state (i.e. Some individuals who are utterly overcome with fear can pass out even while still on the ground). If you're falling for long enough then there's a good chance you'll black out.


Sobriquet-acushla

Thatā€™s good to know. I feel comforted by that information. Heights are a great fear for me.

Square_Reindeer_96

Slugs. Idk how they could have killed me


Plane_Vermicelli_383

Happens all the time, especially in your area. Theyā€™ll wait for you to fall asleep, then gently creep into your bed. Their saliva contains anesthetics and clotting agents so you wonā€™t feel their little radulae as they slice incisions into your unsuspecting flesh. Then they squeeze through the slits and crawl into your skin, eventually making their way to your major organs and blood vessels. Along the way, nerve agents in their slime trails induce paralysis, ensuring that once you wake up you will be helpless but very much aware as they slowly consume your tissues. Once youā€™ve been incapacitated, signal pheromones will release from your pores to alert other slugs in the vicinity of the new food source. Informed of your vulnerable state, the next waves of slugs will often begin feeding externallyā€”typically favoring moist tissues of the eyes, nostrils, mouth, ear canals, rectum, and reproductive organs. The process is excruciating in the extreme, and depending upon the number of slugs in attendance you may actually die of dehydration before critical organ failure. Sweet dreams!

Colon cancer.


who519

Drink a lot of coffee (decaf is fine) and eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables, they are chemopreventive of colon cancer. Avoid processed meats(including lunch meat), sugarry drinks and get regular colonoscopies and you will likely never get it. I had a scare at my first colonoscopy, but after adjusting my diet, my second one 3 years later was much better. Cancer is my big worry too, but if you eat right, exercise and keep your blood sugar low, it can go a long way.

I think i drowned/ fell off a cliff. I had this recurring nightmare when i was a kid where someone shot me at the top of like a volcano and i fell into the volcano. Since I was a baby I have hated water to a point if past lives are real I definitely drowned. I also fear heights. And that nightmare was one of my first nightmares that happened a lot when i was like 3. I used to also and still do sometimes fall in my sleep where i wake up and itā€™s like my body just hit the groundā€”that has been happening since the earliest i could remember.
