What’s a totally normal thing that creeps you out for no reason?

For me, the inside of a pepper. I love eating red peppers, but I hate preparing them. Seeing the seeds all clustered together and mutant-like… I can’t explain it, it makes me cringe to even think about it. :smiley:

Somebody mentioned it may be a type of trypophobia!

For 2 years I was scared of plants with large leaves after watching Jumanji in 1996.
I’ve grew out of that one.

Not many things give me the creeps (it’s usually people).
I do get “hard system reset” when I hear styrofoam rubbing against styrofoam.
Dear Emperor it makes me shiver…

Drains specifically street drains, I’ve seen too many shows of dropping keys or anything down them even though I never have.

I know that one!

But we are still within “semi-rational fear” territory.
We need something that makes one feel creeped out.
Like… Small Girl Dressed in White at 3:00 am in the middle of the forest, creepy.

Anyone?

Crowd sourced some more… other people’s babies, kids, feet and clowns in general… any splashy scene in House / Bones also applies =)

They may stem from avoidance of responsibility, unmanaged foot health and… the un-natural clown. Doctor shows and over the top blood scenes also a mortality issue. =)

WHAT DID YOU SAY! self censoring ok…

Staring at Cat’s kid highlight picture reminded me of an old old childhood dread…

That when I died there would be nothing but the black, void of reality…nothingness. For a short stint the thought would haunt me… then I ignored it and bottled it up inside and got along fine =) …until NOW @.@ ah mortality.

I deleted my answer because I felt it wasn’t really the same thing as posed in the question? But I’ll say it again if youse want it so badly!

There’s this ONE guy who always shows up to the bar in the restaurant where I work. He never orders anything or socialises with anyone… he just sits there every day with his head down for hours on end. I just ignored it at first because it’s not my business, but it’s starting to give me the willies. Who in their right mind goes to a bar just to sit there by themselves in silence? I answered with this because no one else at work seems to find it strange except for me.

Maybe I’m just overthinking about it? Either way, could be normal and just creeping me out for some silly reason.

Maybe he’s sad or his home life is depressing and he doesn’t want to go home?

You should talk to him, homie!

You have to talk to him now, we’re invested!

I’m not sure if it’s such a great idea.
I don’t want to later read in news:
“Local Chef from Australia flayed by Florida man on vacation”.
Sometimes it’s best to listen to your gut.

Wasp nests, bubbles in my hot cocoa mix that open up to reveal undissolved powder, turning over a rock to find a bundle of maggots. :nauseated_face:

It’s not even the texture, it’s just bubbles opening up to reveal little grains just makes me squirm!
