You can't blame me. I can't breathe in crowds. 7 - 8 - Similar enough but like it's just constricting idk 9 - You should get why. If you don't, wow /gen 10 - Similar 11 - 12 - 13 - It's just scary. Like you're relaxed and then feel this prickling sensation like you're being watched 14 - I literally run away from loud noises. 15 - Spirals are scary. I repeat, spirals are scary. 16 - C'mon, everybody has to have some degree of that. 17 - Ladybugs = scary, no blame me. 18 - Cicadas are loud and chirp during the night so idek what's happening. They're either playing a whole concerto or they're warning me : lady there's an intruder. Like gurl idk ( or sir or non-binary cicada or unlabeled cicada or questioning cicada because atp I'd get cancelled otherwise /mj ) 19 : very specific scenarios, mainly like in a large crowd or when I'm actually trapped or just feel cornered and trapped. 20 : I don't actually have this, it's just the closest thing I could find to the fear of having my neck touched. It's scary honestly lol 21 - Similar to the fear of choking. I need to breathe. I'm actually terrified of this... wait is that why number 20 22 - I hyperventilated once earlier this year. Thank you chest for feeling like you were being constricted /sarc now I almost panic when my breathing skips a beat. 23 - Thank you rejection lol! This eases me wanting to stay SINGLE forever but anyway 24 - Not exactly fully, just. Idk, I'm scared of that happening in front of people I know and I'm supposed to be musclewoman for 25 - Shipwrecks, reefs, whales etc. 26 - Very specific spots actually. Anywhere but on my neck is fine. My neck gets bruised and uh... I'm scared idk. ( If you have an explanation I'll gladly take it ) 27 - Admit they're freaky. I'll understand 28 - ...you get why, right? Just... yeah. Communication? Naur
