“Unlocking Fear: 50 Haunting Words That Will Leave You Breathless and Bewildered”
and then i just continued playing
i’m an only child and my mom never had an indication that she was pregnant with twins. freaked the hell out of her and still does.
“Ewww. You’re still a virgin? I lost my virginity last year!”
Said to me, 4th grader at the time by another 4th grader at the time. I was confused. Now, I am unsettled, she bragged about this, especially in middle school. Like, it was a trophy or a badge of honor. Her cousin was chill af, same age but had a great dislike towards her “s***ty” cousin. I look back at that and always wonder, “what the f**k was up with that family?”.
About 20 years ago I worked in a pub, after closing we had a lock in with a few regulars, I’m sorting out the drinks when a guy comes up to me and casually asks “Have you ever been r*ped?”, not sure if I stood there in shocked silence or responded in some way but he then said “Because you’re going to be….”
Two of my friends/colleagues quite rightly went off on him, he skulked off sheepishly.
Next time I saw him he apologised and offered to buy me a drink insisting it was a joke.
In all honestly I didn’t take it seriously, never worried anything would happen…. Just still find it so weird a guy would say that to a girl….
Whilst playing Clair De Lune, a woman once said “ I guess this is as close as I’ll ever get to making love to you.”.
It wouldn’t be unsettling to me now because I’ve gotten used to it but at the time it was unsettling because I’d never experienced it before. Probably the first time a schizophrenic client disclosed their delusions/hallucinations to me. The reason why I found it unsettling was because she casually dropped it into conversation as if it was completely real and I was privy to that “knowledge” too. I was completely floored because one minute we were making small talk and the next she was saying something completely terrifying. It just goes to show how real it is for them. It’s heartbreaking.
Years ago, while horribly depressed, my eldest younger brother seriously suggested that having a child might make me feel better.
I love the guy, but what the actual f**k.
