I use to be afraid of water. Apparently the whole, 'Traumatic experience', means something. Apparently when I was around 4 I fell into a deep pool of water at the beach. I guess I thought it was a puddle. And apparently I almost died. I had the most difficult
time learning how to hold my breath after that. ButI can't remember the smallest detail about the event.
Currently I hate spiders. I can handle them and move them outside, since I feel kinda bad for killing them, but they still creep me out. Thus the reason I used the word, 'hate', not the term, 'afraid of'.
Creep me out? Huu. Let's use Stephen Kings trinity of terror.
“The 3 types of terror: The Gross-out: the sight of a severed head tumbling down a flight of stairs, it's when the lights go out and something green and slimy splatters against your arm. The Horror: the unnatural, spiders the size of bears, the dead waking
up and walking around, it's when the lights go out and something with claws grabs you by the arm. And the last and worse one: Terror, when you come home and notice everything you own had been taken away and replaced by an exact substitute. It's when the lights
go out and you feel something behind you, you hear it, you feel its breath against your ear, but when you turn around, there's nothing there...”
- Stephen King
The Gross-Out | Baby feces. Well, if anything in a more grotesque way would be the slicing of ligaments. Achilles tendon, MCL or ACL, wrists. I don't get light headed or anything, but seeing it sits with my stomach wrong.
The Horror | White faces on a large black body. The idea that the only thing I see on the body is the face, which obviously looks fake, creeps me out. Zieram from Iria, Larva from Miyu, even that ghost thingy from Spirited Away. Now these don't stop me in my
tracks, but they have always left a lasting impression on me. The anonymity of them creeps me the hell out.
The Terror | Well from his description, that's not really explained. That's more so the emotional/mental/physical road you take when experiencing anything that's, 'creepy'. So that's likely spiders. When I feel one crawl on me. Or I see a lot of them crawling.
Blegh.
