Thinking of my latest horror zombie introduction and explanation about zombies.
A thought fleeted by in my mind, and it was the word disgusting, then I thought of cockroaches..it gave me a cold chill down my spine and my shoulders shivered.
*While also editing this post, a bug flew in from the window, must be attracted to light...and I scurried off to find the spray.
Knowing that it is small, harmless and smelly, I would have without a doubt, smash it as if slapping a mosquito. But how many of us did not take that action and let it walk..or fly all over us.
We all wish we could just evaporate and disintegrate the threat and fear itself. Especially so, when you are supposed to be safe and comfortable privately minding your own business when some busy body bug..ghost or animal comes in triggering you.
Your usual first reaction you hope you would pull off.
KILL IT WITH FIRE
From news, Man tries to Kill spider, Ends up burning his house down.
Fear of spiders are called Arachnophobia
I mean who knows how many more are there, hiding, waiting, planning in the cold shadows to get you with your mouth open while you sleep so defenselessly or when your are at your most vulnerable moments?
Well if you are afraid of fire (Pyrophobia) and burning down your home is not an option to your partner or family..Well, tough decisions and tough luck.. its' time to wish them good luck, and all the best, and hope that all the prayers and facebook likes will protect them from their imminent end..As much as you love your home, it is time to move out and disown your former weird human.
E.g Son/daughter, your mom went to work one day, and never returned home to our apartment. She is having a hard time dealing with Acrophobia and she now lives somewhere on a single duplex house and she now sleeps in a sleeping bag.
And if height is not your concern, we would always wish we can jet pack away.
Nope..Nope..Nope.. Nothing to do here. Flies away.
Or just to be safe.
It would be the safest bet.
Well, back to earth, our true human form surfaces when threatened by danger, we will somehow, with our superior human agility somersault or roll away to safety.
Everything would be safe and easy as we keep distance from the threat as we arm ourselves to destroy it with ballistic spray and brooms.
Here is everyone's expected result when escaping from danger, with our after image.
Here is the actual result.
Moving on, not all fear are from danger or threats. It could also be from the sheer disgust it is to look at something or someone that invokes a horrible, squirmish, uncomfortable and stressful stomach situation perceived by the viewers..perception of disgusting and familiarity with socially perceived disgusted stuff.
It is as though someone punched you in the stomach ..and you try not to scream or breathe.
Dry heave or gag, before or after vomit or with nothing to vomit
WUUAARAUUGGHH I nearly had that exact description I just wrote down while I was looking at this picture...and the feeling of...something building up in my stomach was queasy and discomforting.
Sorry if it somehow affected you as well.
Here you can observe a chain-reaction of Barfs in a Barf-O-Rama Clip.
Be warned, It is quite disgusting. and it may intensify your fear of others barfing around you.
And Yes, there is a phobia for the act of vomiting, to sight and action of it as well. Its' called Emetophobia, and unless we all have it, some people may gag or vomit depending on the severity of their phobia.
I'm tearing up from coughing... Some scenes are stuck in my mind..
If you have a phobia or have developed a unfounded phobia personally, what would it be? Would you try and justify your phobia ? Are you going to deal with it? How?
