It's always interesting to think about what causes us to be afraid of something. And why are there so many common phobias? It seems like there are more people who are creeped out by spiders than are not. Clowns are also just plain disturbingto most people, at least in my circle.
Between men and women, women are usually the ones expected to have more fears. This conception is mostly because, well, you know... misogyny. But really it seems unlikely that gender or sex has anything to do with how easily spooked we are.
On a new Reddit thread, men are confessing their most pressing fears. These guys sure deserve an A+ for openness.
Reddit user u/Particular_Anxiety47 was the one to ask the Men of Reddit to share what things scare them the most. This seemed like a safe space for men to be vulnerable, and its almost wholesome.
I love how random our fears can be. Of course, we're all afraid of sickness and disease, but also of the swiping abilities of our own pets. Is it an irrational fear? Hard to know. I don't have enough data on how many people have lost an organ or two in this way.
