Losing control of myself The first time I watched a movie about a werewolf I was terrified by the concept of it There's the flashback of Kagure Corruption in Twin Star Exorcists that filled me with extreme amounts of dread when I first watched it, and even now it still does. And the idea of getting Dementia is absolutely horrifying to me.
As a person with DID,i guess its kinda scary? Knowing that you arent the only one thats a part of your body,and that your alters can do anything with it witouth you being able to control it
I saw a video about rabies when I was a kid and avoided wild animals like the plague for a couple years. The idea of something that can turn you into a completely different person and make you not think like yourself horrifies me.
I usually try to do that but I often can't, but atleast I'm lucky that my fear is mostly "If I don't keep myself in check I will jump off and I am horrible at impulse control" and most tall buildings don't have ways to fall off
Is anyone else afraid of silence, as in, when there is no noise around you because everyone has finished speaking and there are no cars or sudden winds and it’s completely silent?
I am a mix of being alone....and being single forever Because I don't exactly fear being alone in the present..like as an introvert, I need some alone time to recharge..and I don't fear being single forever in the romantic sense. I just fear being alone forever...like having no loved one beside me as I grow older...regardless of whether it is romantic or platonic..
4:17 As someone with astraphobia, it’s not the possibility of getting hit that scares me, it’s the noise and when said noise will happen. It’s so sudden, and so is the flash. It’s gotten to the point that if I hear it through my headphones when a song ends, I turn cold as ice and my heart beats faster.
bro thank you so much for you to make this video because...my only and my bigges fear was death but when i hear in video you say *at least when your death you wont be scared of it anymore* my fear is gone...thanks bro 🐱👍
My biggest fear by far is thunder. It is so bad that I literally don't sleep through thunderstorms at night, and when I do sleep I wake up as soon as a lightning strikes.
I often do sleep through it because that's the only way I can perfectly avoid it, otherwise I just hide under my blanket and listen to music with my headphones to ignore the noises
my biggest fears are:sharks,hight‘s(ok not really but still…I DON‘T LIKE HIGHT‘S!),the dark,ghosts(but i didn’t see a ghost in my entire life but i‘m scared that in the dark there is maybe a GHOST hiding),monsters under the bed(not really biggest fear but still it’s my fear)
I actually trust doctors and dentists. My biggest problem with dentists is that even though _I'm_ trying to cooperate, my body doesn't always. I have a really bad gag reflex, it is so hard to control.
My biggest fear is being betrayed by my closest friends and family and I fear that everyone will leave me eventually and make me feel all alone. And escalators. I fell down one. It wasn’t fun.
back when i was 6 i went into an elevator but my family werent paying attention i pressed a load of random buttons and just before the door closed my brother noticed me and just laughed(we hate eachother with a burning passion)as the elevator just left
my biggest fear is definitely immortality imagine, everyone you've ever been close to dies in front of your eyes while you're cursed to keep living on with the memories, unable to die yourself
I can't believe some people are scared of blood, like I have really bad bruxism so I wake up to my pillows, mouth, and hands covered in blood almost EVERY morning.
Same. Although I recently just turned 18, which is the entry to adulthood... It just makes me sad that childhood is so fleeting while adulthood is going to be so long.
For me death is my greatest fear. Although I did freak out when tropophobia was shown because I have it and seeing that picture triggered it. So I had to look away and take a sec.
As somebody who is a man and is also kind of scared of men who is also somehow attracted to men, I see this as an absolute “wtf is even going on anymore”
That is completely correct, I'm scared of what's in the dark, not the actual dark Also the public speaking one is true, my mum didn't help as she made me get dizzy when talking in front of people
I’ve got a fear that wasn’t mentioned in this video which is liminal spaces/big empty rooms with no windows and slightly dim lighting. Also, does Attack on Titan count as a horror movie? ;w;
@@khanhphan9162 Excuse me- AoT is the most TERRIFYING thing I’ve ever seen in my life, and you’re telling me there’s SCARIER movies than it!? That’s insane
@@HunterSeth Oh heck yes it would lol 🫠 That was actually my workaround for straight up saying The Backrooms, bc I know I probably would’ve been seen as a dumb iPad kid for it (ESPECIALLY with my gacha pfp ;-;) and peeps telling me it’s not that scary
looked fun before trying, but I was having panic attacks during the ride with closed eyes and got a reaaalllyyy bad headache afterwards that lasted for days.
I'm *kinda* okay with bees, but I do have a rather strong phobia for wasps; which sometimes leads me to get startled by glancing at a bee, or nervous whenever I hear a familiar buzzing sound. I am definitely *never* going to Japan.
To be honest this Friday the 13th was a good day for me, I think only one of the Friday the 13ths is an unlucky day on years that have more than one Friday the 13th like January 13 2023 was terrible... stuck in the cold for an hour, then failed a test, rip
6:04 My friend Martin Candy has schizophrenia and he is really afraid of people touching him due to his hallucinations.... so if you ever meet him in real life, DO NOT TOUCH HIM.
@@Forgottensnapdragonshe is talking about me. That is me! I actually have schizophrenia and I am really sensitive to people touching me due to hallucinations.
My biggest fear is the uncanny valley. Sure, I'm not even half scared of I feel fantastic and I think police sketches are freaking awesome, but everything else has just petrified me.
I’m a conservative and I’m scared of liberals. Pushing for gnder transtioning of kids. Kllng bbys. Starting wars. Destroying economies. Just plain evil or stpd.
6:16 this video is literally jst calling us all out and it’s fr!! 🗣️ I’ve literally considered bullying all of my friends so they dont like me n stuff like that so they dont miss me when im gone and are rather happy about it instead and i might eventually end up doing that 😃
I’m heights,insects,snakes,spiders,getting in trouble,creepypastas,public speaking,drowning,blood,horror movies,thunder,horror games,throwing up,roller coasters and the ocean.I have too many fears 😭😭😭
Some drug addicts use needles for it, or something (not completely sure WHAT they have in the needles), but being scared of needles makes it less likely to become a hardcore addict
0:11 I’m scared of being alone and not being alone. I’m mainly scared of it because my heartbeat slows down way to much or speeds up way to much, then my vision is kinda blurry and I’m scared I’m gonna die 😃
I am usually the sibling in my family sent to kill insects if one were to scare them. Do you have someone get rid of insects for you or do you have a different method?
@@elicenyne How would someone with that fear go about the situation if there is nobody present to take care of an insect? (When ever I ask my siblings they say they will lock which ever room it's in and wait till I can take care of it)
I am afraid of 3 things: dark (I feel like I am not alone), getting mentally/physically harmed and losing control over my emotions (not that I can control those at all)
My biggest fear is tornadoes. Between Young Sheldon and a tornado actually touching down near me on the west coast, I definitely never want to visit "Tornado Alley."
my worst fear by far has to be FOMO (fear of missing out). I imagine it like this: I fall asleep one night. And wake up 5 years later. I dont know if this is real or not. So i check the internet and everything is different. The president is a random person ive never seen. And I'm practically an adult. My friends have new friends. My mom and dad split. i dont know what would happen if this became reality someday.
my fears(activity may vary): dark(this video was accurate), heights(buildings are fine, the issue is if I am too close to an open edge.(thin bridges, external stairs, high up the building and the railings are just bars, edge of multi-story carparks. the inside of a staircase.)), spiders(use to be ALL spiders, now it is mostly just the really big ones.)

Being powerless is my biggest fear i use to have nightmares about being in a situation out of my control and its soooo bad
2:38 as an npc I can confirm that this fear is way too realistic
My biggest fear by far is thunder. It is so bad that I literally don't sleep through thunderstorms at night, and when I do sleep I wake up as soon as a lightning strikes.
I often do sleep through it because that's the only way I can perfectly avoid it, otherwise I just hide under my blanket and listen to music with my headphones to ignore the noises
Heh it’s a thunderstorm rn in our country
Oh I was playing out when that happened to me- me and my friends were scared cos it kept on going so close to us
I once heard thunder so loud that it woke me up and once I'm asleep it's IMPOSSIBLE to wake me up until I wake up myself so that was REALLY loud
This is why i fail exams bc of i lost control of myself and say a skibidi toilet from ohio and n word 😢
my biggest fears are:sharks,hight‘s(ok not really but still…I DON‘T LIKE HIGHT‘S!),the dark,ghosts(but i didn’t see a ghost in my entire life but i‘m scared that in the dark there is maybe a GHOST hiding),monsters under the bed(not really biggest fear but still it’s my fear)
