Fears and nightmares

Walking home late at night. I always have that nagging fear that something bad is going to happen.

Walking home late at night. I always have that nagging fear that something bad is going to happen.

I can relate to that. Once I went camping with a few friends; drinks and pranks included. I went a bit away from the campsite to 'let nature run its course'. I walked back briskly because I was cold. I knew I was the one that made the leaves rustle (wind) but I couldn't help it but run faster and faster. A bit silly really.

Oh and don't watch IT with some people that are known pranksters.

Gravity reversing, and I just keep falling up into space.

Darkness..
Swimming/deep water.. When I was 8-9 years old I almost drowned and after that I never got over that fear.

Bugs. I've gotten better about it over time, but large bugs still scare the crap out of me. I'm pretty sure it's a fear that stems from growing up with Humpback crickets; not only are they ugly as sin, but the article fails to mention that, when confronted with a moving object, they will rapidly hop towards it in an attempt to scare it away. Definitely works on a tender-minded three-year-old, especially since the ones that infest homes in North Carolina can often have bodies approaching 3/4 of an inch in size, not counting the legs.

Edit: oh, yeah, also ghosts, or aliens, or other bizarre disturbances in what I consider to be "normal." Don't ask me why.

Big bodies of deep water scare me as well, in the same way as heights do. I can't shake the feeling that something is luring me towards the edge, some sort of magnetism it's like gravity.

I get that too, only with standing at the edge of a big drop, I get completely un-nerved because I start thinking that all it takes is one tiny action like a gust of wind, tripping over or even just my body inexplicably spazzing out and i'm dead.

I also HATE being in very cramped places when there is no clear way out.

The scientist in me chuckled at that.

Dear diary, today I said something really stupid
