Been reading up a bit on horror and fear lately, so I was curious to learn what are you afraid of? Not just phobias, like what kind of movies or tv shows have scared you before and what not as well.

the movie Conjuring scared me
First of all let me say that I love/live for anything spectacularly scary movies. So many has scared me that I can't name but one that I recently watched not too long ago is a movie that's called Annihilation. Creepy, unsettling and kept me up the first few nights. Now I am looking forward to seeing A quiet place.
Not to sound edgy or anything, but "friendzone-y '' males ( and females sometimes ) give me the shudders.
blindness. Oh, and debilitating damage to my left hand. Two of the most horrifying concepts to me.
b-but m'lady! *awkwardly looks down and shuffles feet* this just means you have never encountered a truly nice guy! *clenches fist to show my iron will but find it difficult due to my grease-drenched palms* they say chivalry is dead but not while a gentleman like me still draws mortal breath! *nervously adjusts collar, grips $30 katana replica I bought on eBay firmly*Quote:

Steven King's The Jaunt really stuck with me, and some of the things they do on Black Mirror about human consciousness (or copies of it) being held in infinity made me feel uncomfortable too.

Just that general losing those that I love thing. The idea of swimming in the ocean (ie, way out from land, like when people dive off navy boats in the middle of nowhere) leaves me pretty scared too. Beyond that I'm not sure I get scared very easily, unless you count jump-scares which I just call being shocked/frightened rather than actually scared.
I am also afraid of death
All that creepy stuff in the ocean? Yeah, that junk.
As far as just stories/movies/TV goes, simple ghost stuff is what spooks me.
You know, I’ve been mulling over this thread for a while now, and it’s weird. Normally I’m a person who overthinks things and comes to a million conclusions, but when asked what I’m afraid of, I really can’t say. And that’s not to say I’m not afraid of anything, because I’m a bundle of anxiety, it’s just really hard for me to answer. Used to be afraid of bugs, the dark, heights, etc, but I’ve kind of overcome those.
I think all that’s left and what’s really great to me when I encounter it in horror is adult fear. Death of a family member, sickness, etc. what I’m most scared of, however, is that I’ll keep procrastinating all my life and never even get close to achieving what I want to achieve. Worse than dead: forgotten.
Cockroaches. :(
im scared that im almost 35 and still troutposting into the void
Things I found scary back then: Losing people, the open ocean.
Things I find scary now: I mean, still the above, but I'm more so actually scared of what people will think of me if I tell them my honest feelings about pretty much anything serious. Will they think I'm a creep if I tell them I compliment them? Will they think I'm a burden if I tell them I need their help? Will they hate me for dredging up the past if I apologise for something that has weighed on my mind? Will they think I'm annoying for talking to them at all? Will they hate me if they know I intentionally stopped maintaining our friendship because I felt I was a hindrance? Will they think I have ulterior motives if I wish them happy birthday?
The mind works in stupid, awful ways and mine seems to only worsen in these regards over time.
I am very open about 95% of things and that five percent has slowly but surely, through the course of being burned on many occasions, had a more and more solidly defended wall set up around it.
