Welp- here’s mine:

Mine is getting stabbed in the face or eye with something sharp. Specifically, if I’m holding a pencil or knife pointy-side up, my brain immediately thinks an earthquake is going to happen at that exact second, and I’m going to lose my balance and fall face-first into it.

It’s just a fear of an oddly specific accident where I somehow end up tripping and stabbing myself.

What is your insanely specific phobia? Tell me I'm not the only one. TwT

I drew this a while back out of pure boredom, which is actually how I found out I could kinda draw ponies! XD Looking at this compared to my newer art in the second image... what do we think? Has it improved, stayed the same, or was it actually decent to begin with? (This was basically my first time attempting wings, and I’m still struggling a bit with them, don't judge me TwT)

(I was recommended to post this here, sorry if it’s a bit heavy)

It’s a bit of an odd question really, but I’ve noticed that I crush on fictional characters, and never any real humans.

I’ve actually held hands and cuddled before with someone I knew for about a year and a half, and I absolutely hated it. It just felt really awkward to me, and almost every night after that, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Not in an “I miss him” sense, but more like a “why did I do that?” feeling. I stayed up a bunch because of it, but I’m better now. He wasn’t even a bad person; he was genuinely very sweet.

The weird part is I let my best friend lean on me or hold my hand, and I don’t feel terrible about it—like, it’s perfectly okay. It might be because she’s been my best friend for years. I think the issue with him might’ve been because he had a crush on me and admitted it beforehand. Just the thought of being held, holding hands, or sometimes even hugging for a long time feels off to me, like it’s too intimate.

But it’s a whole different story when I imagine fictional characters, even my own characters that I make myself. (Sometimes just thinking about a human character makes me feel weird in a bad way though—like, if it’s something without human skin, or even human scent, or whatever, then I’m fine). I feel like an alien compared to the world around me when I feel this way. Everyone likes humans except me. And to be 100% clear: I am obviously not talking about liking real animals here. I just mean fictional creatures and fantasy monsters."

Is it normal to use this as a comfort mechanism to help me sleep? Because sometimes I can't sleep at all, even with the normal methods: so I have to think of my own character comforting me, snuggling, holding hands, or even more things that aren’t very... “clean.” I just don’t understand why I enjoy these things in my head, even though I’ve actually experienced them in real life (except non-clean things) and hated it to the point where I barely want to hang out with the poor guy anymore whenever he asks me to come over to his house. What’s really going on here?
