The sh-shing of a sharp knife or sword.

I'm afraid of the dark, and the reason because of that would lead into levels of weird that you would rather not go into.

That's why I said it can be near a factory. If it's by a factory but looks clean I just assume that it will kill me and mutate my insides with minimal exposure.

When I was younger, I used to be afraid of being unaccepted by my peers. Then I learned that I don't need to pander to everyone's standards and try to thrive off their respect.

Now I fear someone I don't know coming up to me out of the blue and doing some random act of kindness, because I grew up knowing only people bullying me for being different.

That, and I also have a pathological fear of groups of people in circles because my fifth grade teacher was particularly evil when we were in circle groups.

Guess what my first and second period english classes have.

Not a fear I have: Anatidaephobia

I'm usually okay with balloons, when they're floating there peacefully, minding their own business. But I am scared of them in some cases, mostly while people are blowing them up a little too much or actively trying to pop them. I just don't like loud, sudden noises. The suspense in those cases is pretty annoying.

Are you scared of balloons when they're in movies, like Up? There are ... a few in that one.

Edit: Oh, and how about fireworks? I used to be scared of those.

If Merder is afraid of balloons then if we ever go to a dink meet together I know what I'm bringing.

And I am scared of high heights like roller coasters and towers and spiders, [other insects just creep me a little since they're disgusting].

Edit: also Kris I don't care about being different, at the bus stop I stay away from everyone else and stand on a rock next to a stop sign or under a tree across the street if it rains] and they make fun o[f me a little though they have called me some things which I'm not sure if it's bullying or respect

the names they call me; At the moment. Ninja, they used to say I seemed like. Slenderman, they called me an alien before, and tons of other names I can't remember or choose to not name since they are barely even said.

He's not you in the future, Dack. I checked into it. He's not you.
your future self, however, is currently in Australia, throwing vegemite at dropbears. Poor things.
Anyway, when it comes to time travel, there cannot be a paradox unless something happens in which your future self would not go into the past, in other words, something happening that would cancel out the time travel.
As time cannot handle a paradox, it will prevent the paradox from happening.

It sounds like their taunts don't bother you much, so I guess that's good.

The suspense in those cases is pretty annoying.

well i can be around balloons for a moment but just a short while is my limit. if it where possible to 100% avoid them in my life i'd gladly do it but that is impossible and well i wanna overcome my fear for 'm but i know it will be very hard and the thing is the next of the 5 steps of a method i know is touching those nasty poppers(still too intimidating for me as they look like they will pop the instant i touch 'm). on your dislike of that suspene of someone blowing one up till it pops dunno if it is phobic but in that you are much braver than me. if i see anyoene blowing any air in a balloon i'm outta there don't wanna be near it at all.

Are you scared of balloons when they're in movies, like Up? There are ... a few in that one.

in movies and such they don't bother me as much as the real deal but still scary a bit. digital renditions, drawings, pictures and alike are a little easier to look at but still look so ready to pop to me even if i know they won't. tried watching a few balloon popping video's only lasted like 5 seconds and than i couldn't take it anymore just too nasty. and on the movie up saw some previeuws and though the ammount of balloons disgusts me if not too much in the movie i might be able to enjoy watching it besides the balloon having scenes.

Edit: Oh, and how about fireworks? I used to be scared of those.

I love fireworks

If Merder is afraid of balloons then if we ever go to a dink meet together I know what I'm bringing.

don't like the sound of that one bit. what are you trying to do scare me out of it?

Aww, but snails are cute. Slugs, yes, gross. But that makes me sort of like them, in a morbidly fascinated way.

How about caterpillars and earthworms? Fuzzy caterpillars creep me out because when I was little, I heard some of them were poisonous, but I was never clear on which ones, so I just avoid all of 'em. I like the non-fuzzy, green ones, though.

I like earthworms unless they're wet and slimy. I used to play with them when we went fishing when I was growing up.

Violence isn't known to be a good way to teach things to people. Sure, it might feel good to punch them in the face. (Not so good when they beat you up for it, though.) But they won't learn from it that what they do is wrong.
