When I was younger I used to terrified of the unknown, under my bed, a dark closet in the hallway, maybe a monster my mind created. Those were the days honestly, my fears were real to me but not realistic.If I could I would go back to those days where I was safe and of sound mind and all of my "fears" were just mental constructs I think things ould be better, but as of late the things I'm afraid of are becoming and are very real.Sometimes I ask myself if I've become one of the monsters i was afraid of? How do the monsters I've surrounded myself with affect the man that i've become? If the boogey man was real he wouldn't be half as terryfying as the everyday people that i come into contact with. In my honest opinion the boogey man is just a personification of the soul or man's true nature. Mans primal attributes have never really left, our eveloution has kept many outdated assets such as; the appendix, adrenaline, and fight or flight.I personally haven't had a need for for …show more content…
If I could change anything about my past what would it be and would that make me happy? The answer is no. I have zero regrets in life and the person that I am today was born of the events that i experienced. Monsters are fears created by the imagination then personified into a physical form or representation. But in my life monsters are real they are normal everyday people the only difference is if they choose to let it show. sometimes the scariest monsters are the ones who are around you and you never see them coming.To me the most terrifying monster is the one that lies within myself.The day that I become that monster is the day that i start having regrets and develop self hate.My worst fear however, is that i become a monster and don't realize it.Sometimes i think that if everyone took five minutes to contemplate the role they played in others live a viscious cycle coud be
This affects me as a person because facing my fear and overcoming it is really hard to me because I usually don’t face my fear in person because I usually face my fear in dreams and I don’t like seeing it. I remember in the past when I got so mad and almost got into a rage mode which made me feel really bad in the inside. My sister got me really mad by doing something I told her not to do, but instead of myself getting really mad, I was able to handle my anger and not get really mad. I got really happy because I was able to overcome my fear of not getting really mad and not feeling really bad in the inside. A future fear is me not doing good in school or other sport activities. To me this is a big fear because when I do bad in swimming and school then I get in trouble by my parents but if I do good in swimming and school then my parents get proud of me. If I do good in swimming and school then it means I am overcoming my fear of my parents getting mad at
Monsters are the physical embodiment of fear. Monsters are the physical embodiment due to a wide variety of reasons. The most important being: Monsters’ apparent invulnerability/incredible strength, represent the bad part of society, most often look ugly, represent evil/nightmares itself, are intelligent, and some deviate from the norms are the reasons why monsters are the physical embodiment of fear. Monsters’ incredible characteristics are what strike fear into the hearts of others. In many myths, monsters are a weakness to societies. For instance, the heroes of Rome fight these monsters in order to overcome them which is the symbolic overcoming of weakness by the community. The fear monsters represent is primarily human fear as monsters are generally on good terms with animals and human fear is far deeper than animal fear.
Everyone is afraid of something: darkness, water, thunderstorms, spiders, heights… and of course, monsters, too. Where do these fears come from though?
As a kid, I was afraid of the hideous monsters that lay hiding under my bed. Although as I grew I realised that the monsters weren't under beds or hiding in dark closets, they were the strangers I walked past daily, the shooters, the bombers, the molesters. We live in a society today where kids can no longer ride their bikes too far and women can't walk around late at night without the fear of something terrible happening to them. We're taught from a young age to be afraid, to have fears and live our lives based on those fears.
Billy Thompson and Sam Westfield were similar in many ways. Since a young age they both has excelled at sports and both loved more then anything, the sport of football. While growing up, the boys did not know each other and probably thought they would never have too. But all of that changed with the diagnosis.
That is what usually makes people fear something isn 't it? The thought of something taking you away from the only people you know and love. The thought that I might not ever see my parents again if he stole me from my bed. Eventually I grew up a found out that my parents were right and I had no reason to fear a monster beneath my bed, but the fear of being taken away stays with me and is ultimately going to be my last fear.
Fear, by definition, is “an unpleasant emotional state consisting of psychological and psychophysiological response to a real external threat or danger” (Miller-Keane Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing, and Allied Health). This evolutionary response keeps people from doing something dangerous, or otherwise harmful. Fear has a number of triggers, including the presence of danger, generalization of a traumatic event, and even some chemical and sounds. Fear is a necessary function for survival and by better researching it, fear can be better understood. The questions that need to be asked and answered are: how does fear present itself, what are the causes of fear, when does a fear becomes irrational and turn
Growing up as an only child I made out pretty well. You almost can’t help but be spoiled by your parents in some way. And I must admit that I enjoyed it; my own room, T.V., computer, stereo, all the material possessions that I had. But there was one event in my life that would change the way that I looked at these things and realized that you can’t take these things for granted and that’s not what life is about.
One of the common fears life brings to the table is the unknown. Many people, including myself, fear the unknown. There are two types of unknown fears that scare me the most. This would be death and losing control of a situation. The reason why death scares me is because you never know when your time is coming. It could be anything from
Throughout one’s life, he or she will experience many situations where a lesson is learned, or a fear is amassed. One person may be able to deal with such terrors easily, while another will suffer because of the dread and panic that now haunts them. The poem ‘My Fear’ by Lawrence Raab discusses the haunting situation of fear following someone, and the personification, imagery, and tone of the speaker all provide depth to this seemingly innocent poem and allow one to truly appreciate how fear and troubles affect him or her.
A calm crisp breeze circled my body as I sat emerged in my thoughts, hopes, and memories. The rough bark on which I sat reminded me of the rough road many people have traveled, only to end with something no one in human form can contemplate.
Many girls of different ages fantasize about the perfect wedding, perfect husband, a gorgeous dress, and the happiness to come after the wedding. At one point I was just like these girls. I saw marriage as a paradise that everybody should experience. Around tenth- grade, my rose tinted glasses were removed and I witnessed just how bad a marriage could get to the point of divorce. The divorce my parents went through, changed my entire view on monogamy. I now see marriage in a more realistic point of view and that it is not an easy journey as I once had thought it was.
There are countless stories involving monster and villainous creatures terrorizing people and places. Jorge Louis Borges describes his book by saying, “It’s a book of Imaginary Beings examines the origins of monstrous combination of human and animal.” This sheds light on how stories portray monsters through their content. Although many of their stories are different, they all tie around the same concept, which is torture and evil. There are many different types of modern day monsters. Some types of monsters can be clowns, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, murderous and foul people, and anyone or anything that means harm. There are some cases where monsters can change and overcome their derivable ways. For example, in American Horror Story: Season 4, the evil clown, Twisty, murdered and killed everyone he came into contact with; however, it turns out people made fun of him and he did not know any better. He then tried to change his evil ways, but karma caught up with
It was dark that night, I was nervous that this dreadful day was going to get worse. Sunday, October 23, 1998 I wanted to start writing this to tell about the weird things i’m starting to see in this new neighborhood. Gradually I keep seeing pots and pans on the sink suddenly move to the floor. I would ask my sister but she is out with my mom and dad getting the Halloween costumes. When they got home I didn’t tell them what I saw because i've seen Halloween movies and I have to have dissimulation otherwise the ghost will come out and get me first. October 24, 1998 I think I got a little nervous yesterday with the whole ghost thing. 12:32pm, Went to eat lunch with the family today and I go to get my coat. I heard the words furious and madness,
The fear only came when I was around dogs and saw a dog in person, not only that but I began to realize I was also scared of most animals. I wasn’t necessarily scared by seeing them but scared in a sense of getting near any animals or touching them or them touching me. Finding someone that doesn’t have a pet is hard, I learned that the hard way growing up. Most if not all of my friends had dogs growing up which meant I usually couldn’t go over or they had to be put outside and precautions had to be taken before I could go over. When I usually did go over I always heard the same things over and over again “he doesn’t bite” “he’s harmless” “he’s more scared of you than you are of him” these statements would make me feel uncomfortable, no one would really understand what I went through, there were times when I would enter a house not knowing a dog was around only to find out after I heard barks coming towards me which usually led to me running out the house in tears. My fear made life a little
