RE: Childhood fears?

Well I am not afraid of anything particular nowadays, but when I was 7-10, I was really scared of sleeping. Maybe because I watched some too disturbing movies, but I guess the biggest reason was that when I experienced "sleep paralysis", I woke up at night in my dream, only to percieve that I couldn't move and a dark figure in the corner at the door was watching me and was getting closer. I woke up pretty much crying and yelling after

Being chased up stairs.

Likely a result of my older brother whooping my ass.


A lot of people have this. I know this because I regularly chase people up stairs for fun. They really squeel when you claw at their ankles. heheheheh

Thank you =) I am trying really hard, and i hope things such as map editing and programming which require a lot of hard work and effort might improve my memory and help me tackle it =) After all AngelScript isn't the easiest thing out there is it? xD

RE: Childhood fears?

As a child, I was afraid I was moving many times slower than I thought I was; living as a statue that took years to move what was for me seconds, and was on display as a statue where civilizations would scrutinize my every movement. Meanwhile, I only saw what either would have been if I had been born moving in normal time, or a completely imaginary world.

RE: Childhood fears?

Nothing too notable, mostly just a couple particular rooms in my house when dark and late at night...One of them had many windows and the other has a bunch of old, old black and white photos and dolls...

I saw Mars Attacks as a kid. <:|

You know. The comedy movie.



Wow, I feel a little bit better about having all of that debilitating paranoia now.

Same here dude. That exact movie petrified me of aliens when I was 7.

Listen to the fear, maybe it's your friend.

RE: Childhood fears?

Really? I thought that movie was bad, in a hilarious way. I think Independence Day might have built up my tolerance for alien invasions, they came out pretty close if I remember correctly. Falling rocks on the other hand...

RE: Childhood fears?

Well, I was always afraid of making a mistake, or doing something wrong.

And I also didn't like to sleep in the dark. I mean, I wasn't really afraid of the dark itself, but the things that I would see in the dismal light. So, for all of my childhood, I slept in the light.

I also had a recurring dream where I would be going down stairs and I was going so slowly that I would speed up and speed up until I would trip and basically sail over the stairs and straight into the landing, which was enough to startle me awake constantly. Nowadays that's been replaced with being in a car on one of those bridge-roads over another road and veering off over the side into the road below.

RE: Childhood fears?

I've been literaly terrified of house fires my whole life. Being in two of them (at age 10 and again at age 27) certainly haven't helped with it.

When I was little, i was also scared to death of grand pianos, especailly the black lacquer ones. They just seemed so.. sinister. I still have no idea why they frightened me so much, and I still don't like them either. XD

What has been seen, cannot be unseen.
