Are you afraid of Friday the 13th?

[@lauriejoneswilson5925]

This isn’t horror related but do you know what Trichotillomania is? The word you used and put on the screen about fear of Friday the 13th. Never heard that one. Learn something new everyday. Thanks! I only know what the other word is and know how to say it because a good friend I worked with had it. Anyway back to horror. I think my first start into horror is when my brother and I used to spend the night when we were young with my aunt who was the only person we knew with cable and she also had HBO. We’d sneak out of our beds at night and watch HBO sitting in the floor right close to the TV with the volume turned down so we wouldn’t wake her up. We would watch all kinds of movies. Not kid stuff either 😂I remember seeing some pretty bad stuff. I’d be peeking through my hands at some of the horror ones. Apparently I didn’t warp my little brother’s mind because he also loves horror along with all the TWD content. A very stark contrast from watching Saturday morning cartoons but hey 😂

@@lauriejoneswilson5925 awe that’s a pretty cool story and I bet some great memories you have with your brother watching. The word you mentioned above “Trichotillomania” I also just learned something. From what I read it is a mental disorder that causes one to pull their own hair out.

Yes, she was able to hide it with the way she did her hair. It wasn’t a severe case where she had bald spots on her head. She was OCD about some things but then again I am too 😂

I’ve pretty much grown out of most of it thank goodness. The counting, constant checking to make sure things were turned off or checking to make sure I’d locked the door several times. Not sure why I did that but glad it stopped years ago

It was but she never complained. I think it helped we had a group of work friends that we all hung out together on breaks and would go to lunch together. We would all talk about anything and everything. Sometimes serious and sometimes hilarious. I really miss those days.
