Why are people afraid of ghosts? Are people afraid of ghosts?
Trying to learn more about it.
I don't really think there are ghosts.
I have asked a lot of people. I'm not trying to act tough I have many fears. It seems really confusing to me.
I don't think there are ghosts. but even if there were why is it scary. Is it like having a mouse in the house which is unsettling and not right?
I like mice. But I don't like rats.
Is there something psychologically scary from the ghost that makes it scary?
Sometimes people are going through a lot and are in some sort of place where you need to stop what you are doing, give up your plans, and just really be with them and be present and attentive to them. It is worthwhile to do it. No problem. Seems like maybe ghosts are like that if it is La Llorona. i didn't understand she was a ghost. The scary part seems like she is a serial killer. The ghost part isn't relevant. I'm not a kid anymore. I'm not afraid of La Llorona because she isn't real and is made up by adults to be weird.
But adults believe that there are ghosts and are afraid of them. Richard D James from Aphex Twin makes his head look weird sometimes and it's creepy. is it like that?
Are you afraid of ghosts?
is anyone afraid of ghosts or are people just pretending as a cultural story like with La Llorona?
I am afraid of things like heights and ebola. are ghosts a metaphor for ebola or tuberculosis or something. Sometimes I'm really afraid I'm gonna poop in my pants. But that's only when i'm not sure where the toilet is. i get scared sometimes. did i leave my phone somewhere?
But I don't understand ghosts. is this for real? it's okay if it is. I just wasn't sure.
Edited to add relevance. I don't understand this and I'm autistic. Maybe other autistic people can help me.
Also the biggest thing I want help with is how to be more empathetic and compassionate to people if they are afraid of ghosts.
