What Makes You Uncomfortable Or Scared?

Just curious what makes people here uncomfortable or scared? Something that makes me uncomfortable are DMs from people I barely know. I rather know someone for quite some time around the site before friending in DM. To build up that trust. Over my time here I had a couple DMs from people that gave off a weird vibe and it was a disaster. Either creepy or too nervy but it made me rethink DMs.... Something that makes me scared is not ever finding friends in real life. I'm so socially awkward and shy and have a hard time starting a real conversation with anyone irl. Online I'm awkward as well but luckily I have friends here on MO that are very kind and good people to be around that always listen and give great advice and accept me for who I am....hope I can find real friends like that where I live one day.

I am uncomfortable talking about politics, I was always told as a kid that politics isnt appropriate conversation in most situations. I believe this is common knowledge by now but i am deathly afraid of squirrels

@jc21095 Yeah I don't like talking politics usually either Jc so I get that. And I actually have a love / hate relationship for squirrels. I think they are fascinating animals but darn can they be mean. There's so many squirrels around here and they make noises at me and stare me down like I'm in the wrong for just walking by their tree...

I get the DMs from strangers. I have asked for no DMs in my profile. However, there is a caveat to that. If you're an established user on here, a "regular", I do not have a problem with it. It's these messages I get out of the blue from Sexy Saber and HotBod Dave who you've never seen post in the forum that bother me. My DMs are usually very specific. Not a fan of small talk really.

I have something similar in my profile, but in my experience most people dont even look at your profile before messaging you which is sad

What makes me scared is i will never be able to live my life the way i wanted. Or i miss my chance to do something i really wanted to do, because the times and societal changes made it harder to accomplish.

The white featureless masks that seem to watch me from every second story window. I saw them a lot more often when I was a kid. My senses have dulled since then, but I do occasionally feel their presence, especially around old country houses. I actually nearly forgot about them though, until I met someone recently though who stopped me on the street and started asking me about them. Evidently she only started seeing them recently, and when I walked near, she noticed they all turned away from her to me. Sure, the supernatural is inherently creepy, but to those of us who just kind of live with it, you get used to it. Normally something simply is what it is, and there's no deep meaning to it. These masks though? I always sense something of an agenda. And I can't for the life of me figure out what that is.

@verucassault Yeah in my old account I had the same thing as you and JC saying no DMs. I agree it's easier to talk to regulars in DMs but since I been back I only talk to a couple of my longest closest friends in DM @jc21095 True. It is sad that a lot of people don't read peoples info before sending a DM @hell_hound7 I hope this world turns around and gets back to normal. Not the new normal but the old normal and we can all get back on track in this world. Also hope you can do all the things you want in your life dude. Especially sooner than later. It's def a pain waiting for your plans to play out like you hope they do... @chocopyro That sounds scary as hell dude. I hope their agenda is to stay in whatever creepy building they are in tbh but I am sorry you had to go through that with those things...

@chillhouse Eh, I had a twin brother that was attuned to this stuff, so its not like I ever had to go through it alone when growing up. Those things just always confuse me, cause like you could have someone inside the same room trying to sense something, but it's only the people outside that feel or see them. Makes me think they might be more of psychic cognition or a spiritual concept than a sentient entity. I don't pretend to know.
