@Captain Waa i fell ur Liring

[@venomdog13]

From what I understand and from my own experiences, the creeps is the fear of the unknown. Imagine this: you're in your house alone at night and woke up to have a snack, all of a sudden you hear the door slowly open on its own and you think to yourself: "It's probably just the wind, right?" The thing that makes you scared is the part where you say "right?" Its that there is still a possibility that it ISNT just the wind and that makes you scared, that makes you creeped out.

[@Aden068]

It’s your own mind, overthinking causes most fear

[@timoteotorres7940]

remember: we aren't afraid of being alone in the dark, we are afraid of not being.

[@YousefAli-ui2wm]

You're not afraid of the dark, you're afraid of what's in it. And the thought of that just makes the adrenaline of your fear increase more and more.

[@YousefAli-ui2wm]

You're imagining what could be lurking in there because you'll never know what's actually in it which makes you overthink more and more which makes the adrenaline of your fear more and more powerful. It's not the fear that's taking over your mind, it's the overthinking, the more you overthink, the more you get petrified.

[@Crow.c]

“Why is this scary?” “Because it’s a teddy bear with human teeth.”

Everyone’s so scared when your alone, but the real thing their scared of is *NOT being alone*

[@youreverydaygyro5864]

Thats deep man

[@mermaid960]

Well, yeah, but sometimes people are genuinely scared of not having a friend or family member with them and just being alone, isolated. Now if you mean someone is scared of being the dark, it could be both. They might be scared of monsters coming to get them, but also not having someone there. They say you always feel safer with a friend at night.

[@Draftspike]

...that’s exactly why people are scared of being ‘alone’. Because they’re vulnerable and don’t have any friendly company so if they encountered a threat, no one would be there to help or give comfort.

[@mermaid960]

@Isaac Thompson Okay, so it could be both. Let's say monsters are real for this example. You could be scared of being alone in a dark room, isolate and lonely, but you could also be scared of a monster hiding in there. You could also be scared of both, you want a friend or family member with you to "protect" you from the "monster." I hope that made sense 😂

I love the idea that if that first list is in order, that failing a test is far more terrifying than nuclear war.

You might almost wish for nuclear war just to not have to deal with the test

[@_kay_Rayne]

I feel like it may be because something like a nuclear war is so incomprehensible to us since we have never had to go through anything NEARLY as devastating, but something like failing a test happens all the time to people and doesn't involve nearly as complex and intense emotions as devastating as it might seem. Even depression usually doesn't nearly compare to just how devastating and scary life or death situations can be.
