Hello everyone

So I have a rather unusual fear of butterflies and a fear of darkness. The first one is definitely the fear that has confused lots of people in my life. I can’t explain it, for some reason I am just afraid of them. If one even comes near me, I completely freak out. The latter is a rather childish fear of mine. I don’t know why I’m afraid of the darkness specifically, but I know that I can’t stand it.

So what are your fears?

    Fear of losing my teeth. Spent about 5 years with dental braces, teeth pulled (permanent and baby to make room), and oral surgery to have a tooth exposed to pull down slowly in place over time. I have some fucked up dreams, but nothing disturbs me more than one where my teeth are breaking, cracking, loose, or falling out. Maybe it is a bit of dental PTSD.

      Wow, I had the exact same situation, including having the tooth that had to be pulled down into place. I still have dreams that I’m wearing headgear, or I’ll dream that I bite into an apple and a tooth comes out.
