Fears and nightmares

[Peasant Phill]

When I was a lot younger, I saw a TV-program that told scary fairy tales. The story I remember was one where a man came in contact with a flock of small devils. He fought them of and was even able to break off one of the legs of a devil. Years later he encountered the same devil and traded the devils foot for a glass of water that allowed him to fend off death for a while.
Long story just to say that I used to be quite scared of a plain window when there was darkness outside. I always imagined that that devil would come knocking on my window.

So what are/were you afraid? What doesn't sit well when you think of it?

serial killers.

i cant watch like shows that tell the true stories like on ID channel alone.

The Saw film series.

I cannot watch those films fully, because I cannot fathom how any human being would want to inflict so much pain and suffering upon the lives of so many people. It isn't like he even kills many of them; they ultimately die in the process of trying to escape or 'win' his little games. Yes, yes, I am aware it's fictional, but it doesn't change my evaluation of the series.

There's psychopathy, and then there's those films. :<

Going blind is definitely on top of my list. And there had already been numerous times where I narrowly escaped the possibility of losing an eye. It is not a fear in a literal sense though, I do not dwell on it.

My real fear is not being accepted to a good Uni

Losing my mental faculties and being told by a doctor six months beforehand it is going to happen the thought of ending up not being able to remember something I knew and half knowing I used to know it very scary
