| Topic | Did you have any irrational fears when you were a kid? |
| Gaawa_chan 12/12/20 4:08:29 AM #35: | In retrospect, I think some of my "fears" may have actually been my autistic baby brain reacting poorly to certain stimuli. I was terrified of car wash tunnels as a kid, and putting my face underwater (even just under shower spray, no joke) would make me scream; I never really learned how to swim effectively because I never fully got over that. I think one of my sisters figured out that I was afraid of getting anything in my eyes, so I'd stuff a washcloth in front of my eyes whenever I had to wash my hair/face to stop the distress. I was scared of heights and clowns (typical), but I loved movies like the Terminator and Aliens when I was teeny (fuck knows why my parents let me watch those movies... even let me watch Aeon Flux, wtf were they thinking?) and they didn't scare me; I told my parents I wanted to be a ternimator when I grew up. Darkness didn't really scare me, but I had hideous nightmares even as a very small child about people being murdered/our house being attacked. --- Hi ... Copied to Clipboard! |
