Mine is computers in Safe Mode Grin

I had a nasty browser locking, ransomware virus a while ago, and had to make a new admin account using Safe Mode to get rid of it. I tilted the laptop screen back so I could barely see, and typed what I needed to at arms length as if the computer was about to explode. I don't know why, I just fucking hate it, it looks wrong and scary. I had the worst panic attack when I'd finished, could barely breathe I was so scared Confused

I think if I ever saw binary code in real life, I'd drop dead on the spot Grin

Are you scared of anything for no apparent reason?

Oh god I have loads!
When driving I always think I’m going to steer off the road and drive into a river/off a bridge and it makes me so so sweaty nervous.
I also worry that I’ll accidentally on purpose kill someone. I’ve no idea why as I’m not the murderous type at all
I also worry that I’ll do something stupid like chop all my hair off or shave my eyebrows.
Writing that down has made me sound really odd but I’m really not. Honestly.

VHS cassettes and audio cassettes ... not sure why but suspect stems from early childhood which wasn’t always a very pleasant time . I can’t sleep in a room with a video player that’s plugged in , or a TV left on . Radio I can just about manage .

I’m also very frightened of the idea of sex and relationships !! Never had either ...

I used to worry about being abducted by aliens!

I don't like walking over those delivery hatches on the pavement next to pubs - what if it opens up and swallows meeeee?

Personally I have no issue with death, but I have an issue about you will look after my kids and how will my son with asd cope. Every time I think about I send myself into a frenzy 😩

I know it sounds obvious, but the fire alarm. They are heat sensitive and go off if you try and cook a roast for example. I also had one beep on and off every minute or so because I thought it needed a new battery. Put one in and it continued! So now I seeze up every time I hear that beep.
