What non-scary thing scared you as a kid?
If this isn’t right for this Reddit I completely understand, please direct me to where it might be better to post but to me it does feel nostalgic to think about my childhood quirks.
For me, I was scared of the moon for a period of time. I think it probably stemmed mostly from playing Zelda: Majora’s Mask because i felt more fear of the moon with a face rather than just the moon but sometimes the moon alone scared me. I remember I was scared of the moon from The Bear In The Big Blue house too, which also had a face, though obviously much nicer. I also remember going in a family trip to a lake house, being outside with my uncle at night and looking up at the moon and he mentioned the man in the moon and how you could see the face and I remember just staring up at it and being unsettled. Also another time when I was outside of my mom’s workplace in the middle of the day and I could see the moon. Again, I just stared at it but I was also very disturbed by it. For a while I had this reverence for it, this mix of being completely enamored and also unsettled. Even with the Majora’s Mask and BiTBBH moon, I was disturbed looking at them but also always wanted to look at them more. My younger sister was scared of Raggedy Ann Dolls, and notably a song segment “Raggedy Rag Doll Friend” from the “Baby Songs” by Hap Palmer VHS tape we had, which was terrible for her considering our mom loved those dolls.
I’m curious as to what things other people were scared of when they were younger that either weren’t intentionally scary or just aren’t as scary looking back on it?
