Demons & Fears

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

 

 

So I'm kinda a psychology nut, and these sorta things fascinating me.

 

I've heard the sayings like "everyone has their demons" and "Those who do not know fear are the true cowards"

 

Which got me thinking, are having fears and demons necessary for a person?

 

So first of all, this topic may be a bit personal, so don't feel pressured to pour too much of yourself out here. 

I guess I'll start, I'd say my biggest fear is being alone. By that I mean losing the people I care about in life, and being forced to go on without them. I tend to fall slowly, but fall hard, and be fail hardest at showing my feeling. So that's the sorta thing in the back of my mind I'm constantly afraid of.

 

My demon would be my pride. As many of you tend to notice, I'm kinda an ass. I don't back down easily even when I cross a line(regularly). It's interesting since my pride tends to push my close people away, hence the vicious cycle.

Not really sure if this can go here or is better suited for Misc, but w/3

 

Anyway, what are your fears&demons? 

 

Do you fear them or embrace them?

 

Are they needed for you to function?

I don't know what I am really afraid of. Nothing has made me lose my sheet and made me fall down, and if it has, I got back up and better.

My actual fears are few and far between, and mostly consist of worst-case scenarios. There's quite a bit that ruffles me, don't get me wrong, it's just that nothing ever reaches out and . . . grabs me.

 

I may overcompensate for it on the Internet, and occasionally to spare fragile self-worths, but I have an extremely hard time relating to people, mostly because general emotional reactions escape me. I just don't understand most people in general, I can't explain what's going through a person's head in a brief sentence or two, and that irritates me.

 

I mean . . . I may ham it up here, but imagine if you will remembering what it feels like to really be happy, be angry, be scared, be ANYTHING- but you cannot bring yourself to experience any of it. All of my smiles are fake, any emotions I display are intentionally exaggerated to hopefully get my points across, and to be honest I wonder how I haven't been diagnosed with SOMETHING given my many psychological evaluations. I'm banking on psychopathy right now, but I've been called everything from autistic to depressed to a self-centered jerk.

 

In short, I can sorta remember that I was scared of lots of things (heights in particular), but now I'm just . . . not.
