things you are scared of that no one else is scared of

[mocat]

I'm afraid of being a statistic.

Like the 1/1,000,000(check my math here mocat) that the plane crashes, or the roller coaster fails.


Also scared of driving on a 2 lane highway that is not divided because I am afraid the other moron is going to cross the center line and head on me at 60+.

make fun of mocats math one more time and i will ban you.

That is only for me and ksc to joke about shithead

[fun muffin]

intentionally driving off of a highway at high speed.

standing next to skyscrapers. I HATE IT. And I'm in big cities all the time so I have to really keep my fear in. I swear one of them is going to fall over on me. :(

i nearly had a panic attack in the louvre because of the fear/realization that it was only me stopping me from going ham on all of those priceless sculptures.

that's exactly it.  my brain is pretty reliable, but is it 100% reliable?  what gets engineered to that spec?  nothing, that's what.  even if it's 99.99999999 % reliable at telling my arms not to jerk to the right or left while driving, it's just a matter of time before i do it.

I remember one time everybody's favorite guy, JoelCat, once had a freakout about the driving existentialism. 

"What if i crossed the median into oncoming traffic?"

It's crossed my mind every once in a while.  Usually try to think of something else immediately.  Don't need to be going down that rabbit hole at 80mph.

large bodies of water at night. they're just so much freakier when it's dark.

everyone is scared of that

Like, even driving over bridges and being scared to look down? Oh well, good to know I'm not alone.

Oh hai there mrs. kk.

One time bubbles did cross the line into oncoming traffic and almost killed miegecat and I. By one time I mean Jan 1, 2013 in a desolate part of the Texas panhandle (redundant)

I would kill my brain if it ever tried to do something like that.

I don't know that I'm scared but I am fascinated with really skinny guys that date hugely obese women.. It just blows my mind

[Spracne]

A strong, self-aware woman...

[HerrSonntag]

Existential dread seems to be getting the better of gEers as a whole...   i get it sometimes in the office, i think about how only me stops me from cussing out that one dumbass or slapping that one ass and getting me shitcanned

It is what they can get.

slapping asses always seems like it should be so much more fun than it is.

[Jabeez]

I am scared of shorter people with small, stubby fingers and toes. I shouldn't be scared of them, right?

Also, zombies... they aren't even real?!?

[Jabeez]

Is there a resident psychologist, that can give us a diagnosis, or an idea of what these fears are caused by? TIA

What about when you're standing next to a really big tree? Big stadium? Other big things?

I think about this stuff, too.  It's worse when you're driving an RV full of people you love.

One time when I was really little my babysitter took me to a concert at Kemper Arena.  It was really loud and stuff inside and the walls seemed like they were shaking and I had to leave because I was really scared that the arena was going to collapse and kill thousands of people.  To this day I have some reservations about concert venues and concerts in arenas like that.

So what you're saying is that I should be in X-Men?

The odds of a passenger being killed on any one flight are approximately 8 million to one. From PlaneCrashInfo.com:
If a passenger boarded a flight at random, once a day, everyday, it would statistically be over 21,000 years before he or she would be killed.
