Everyone is scared of something ... but what's the SCARIEST thing? Is it even possible to answer such a question? In this special I explore the dark recesses of the mind to learn how fears are born and whether there exists a grand, unifying terror.

I loved to catch grasshoppers as a child, never feared them until one day out of the blue. I can't remember exactly what I was thinking of but I know it was something scary, I was also holding a grasshopper in my hand thinking nothing of it and then I felt a sudden sharp pain in my hand. The grasshopper actually bit me and I was shocked as I didn't think grasshoppers could bite. In my shock I actually dropped the grasshopper and when I tried to pick it up again, I discovered I could not. My hands were actually shaking at the thought. To this day I now have a fear of touching grasshoppers. It's not a problem if they are around me but I cannot physically touch them. The experience always stuck with me. I always link the experience to the scary thought I had at the time, the unexpected bite and that at the time I was alone.

@Temulon Ай бұрын

Interesting. I wish we could somehow juxtaposition that input with something useful. For example, you're bitten by a grasshopper and now you find it impossible to vote for a democrat. Or now find it impossible to live in a blue state or an obsessive aversion to liberals. Think of the possibilities!

@laztrig 9 ай бұрын

thats because humans were evolved to be wary of dangers they couldn’t see. For example a big cat sneaking up on you in the dark. The only sense that could alert you is noise in that case.

I won't even try to explain or describe what it's like. It's flat out pointless to try. If you don't know...you don't know. And if you know....yeah, you'll never forget it, will you?
