[Instant's Kitchen Talk] Phobias Or Fears

Cause of boredom, I feel that HG should have a lil campfire session. Just something to get to know other people and maybe even realize you aren't alone. So once in awhile, I'll just start a thread where I'll ask something simple and start a little conversation. IDK if I'll do something like this regularly so lets see how this goes. If you are uncomfortable with sharing a certain information or something, don't share it! You aren't being held at gunpoint, you can either read other peoples post or add your own.

Lets see how this goes!

 

What is your your phobia or fear, why do you have it, and did you ever overcome it?

 

For me, until I was 'round 8, I was scared of escalators. I didn't have some traumatic experience with it like I lost a leg or i fell down, just something about the idea of a escalator scared me. The cold unforgiving metal stairs moving, giving you no time to put your foot down before dragging you to the ground. I became a nuisance to people with me as I always had to go somewhere else instead of the escalator like the elevator or stairs. I once shut down an escalator by pressing the emergency stop button just to make it into stairs. I eventually got over my fear when I was stuck with an ultimatum. During a trip to Japan, there was a restaurant that was 10 floors up. The only way up was to take 10 flights escalators cause the elevator was out of order. So rather than just starving, I grew some balls, rode those stairs up and got over some stupid fear.

I have the fear of tearing or hurting my knee again, specifically retearing my ACL. Will probably never be over it because walking without my brace, it still wobbles sometimes freaking the fuck out of me. I have had my knee slightly come out while playing soccer which makes me just sit down and say I'm done. Even though with my brace on, my ACL can't be torn again, it stills freaks me out.

 

Also I'll like imagine situations where it gets torn, how anything can go wrong from my dog jumping up on my to riding a bike, just a constant reminder that it can be fucked easily without my brace.
