Go say “Mary Scary” 3 times while looking into your oven, I dare you!
Ok srsly tho never found slanderman scary, it’s really hard to when you watch it become invented on the internet out of thin air (iirc another 4chan thing or maybe SA)
Like was it a meme to pretend it is scary? Was I not in on the joke or something?
Only an idiot would believe something on 4chan.
Oh shit it’s just like qanon lul
Slender Man was invented on Something Awful.
It convinced a couple of middle school girls to stab another middle school girl. That’s scary enough for me.
If it wasn’t Slenderman it would be something else. Geyser believed she was speaking with several fictional characters, from Slenderman to Severus Snape.
How disconnected a human mind can become from reality is the truly scary thing.
You guys need something to materialize in front of you to be terrified? I swear kids these days just want everything handed to them… All I need to be terrified is some old fashioned crippling self doubt and financial insecurity, and I’m better for it!
Found the millennial.
I’m my worst critic by far, and far too critical in general.
But you know what makes me frightened? That I’m somehow worse at everything than I’m aware of.
Like ever since school and therapy and work and stuff “you have incredible self awareness” but I sit there and think, well shit, knowing I’m imperfect, and knowing how low my self-confidence and self-respect are, and hearing everyone say I have incredible self awareness, fuck, that means I’m missing something.
On the positive side - the self awareness I lack could be explained by how hypercritical I am of myself; I’m not aware of my true strengths. But on the negative side; I’m not aware of my true strengths, and therefore my own true weaknesses. Without these, how do I know what I am aware of/not aware of?
How do I know what I really am aware of? Is awareness even real? How do I not know I’m delusional just by thinking I’m real? How do I know I’m not delusional just by being able to self reflect?
I gotta take a breath
Holy shit I could be my own SCP
I just need to remember that time I said that thing to that person.
That has me wallowing in anxiety for… oh a good long while.
Hey, it’s me, that person. I think about that thing you said all the time but won’t bring it up because it’d be awkward.
Mary Scary will not kill you if you put enough booze in your mince pie.
Wouldn’t the booze take care of that, though?
