When I was young, I was TERRIFIED that I was going to spontaneously combust. I don't know where I heard about it, but I was sure that it was going to happen to me. I had no idea when or how this would happen, which made it all the scarier. I would be sitting watching TV or something and think, "Shit. This might be it. I might spontaneously combust right here, right now and no one will know what had happened."
I was truly afraid of this.
I must have forgotten about it sometime during my studies. Or perhaps I learned enough biology to not believe in it any more. Anyways, I came across this article yesterday and it kinda upset me. I can't really explain it. It's just a really disturbing thought, someone just catching on fire for no reason.
God, I truly worry about the stupidest things.
If it helps, I've always kind of worried about this, too. Especially if I'm feeling too warm or something.
ReplyDeleteI know it doesn't help allay your fears, but you're not alone in worrying about stupid crap.
Well now I'm worried about spontaneously catching on fire! Thanks Raine. :P
ReplyDeleteOh sometimes I worry that when I'm having pains, that maybe it isn't just "nothing" and that there's something seriously wrong and I'm dying.
