That there might be huge monsters in the world or even monsters in the room with me right now. I see them, I’m aware of them and then I forget all about them before I can act on them.
I’d wish we would have some kind of Antimemetics division in our government to handle it. But I don’t think such a thing exists.
I was afraid of ghosts, demons, evil spirits etc while growing up (crazy religious family). I just got fed up with it and became a bigger scarier monster than the monsters that scared me.
my father told me once I was an adult that I was a psychopath because I didn’t react or respond to his punishments at some point.
I told him what changed and that he was incredibly lucky I didn’t kill him in his sleep when I was younger, because the thought had crossed my mind many many times. so his sense of danger was spot on. this change happened around the same time he stopped being such an abusive shithead.
moral of the story? IDK become a psychopath or something?
I didn’t describe myself as a psychopath. I was called one. probably had something to do with me not screaming or crying when I was beaten with a belt or cowering in fear when I was screamed at.
am I a psychopath? couldn’t tell you, never been diagnosed. do I have psychopathic traits? doesn’t everybody?
trauma is one hell of a drug and can fuck you up as a kid, that’s all I know.

That’s an interesting concept, which book did you read about it?
What book? I don’t remember reading anything like that in a book.
The title of this post is “Have you gained any fears from reading books?” so I assumed that was the case.
Sorry, I thought you were making a joke since the book is about memory loss.
This is the book:

I would highly recommend, one of the best books I’ve read in a while.
Thanks, I’ll give it a try! The concept sounds fascinating.

well since I was around 12-14 when I did this…yeah?
All I can see when someone describes themselves as a psychopath:
well, their name is clearly twisted, not psychopath
