Y'all I had a dream where I was checking in at a beach hotel and came across this guy I've never seen in my life. He told me we had a situationship five years ago, he never forgot, I didn't even remember his name.

I said ok cool! bye and went to my hotel room but he followed me and started unpacking inside MY room and I told him he had to leave because I didn't even know him and I had booked the room for myself.

We started throwing punches and eventually he picked up his things and called me a “gamophobe” before storming out of the room...

I didn't know that word. Nobody in my family knew either

So I googled it and

PROOF THAT DREAMS HAPPEN IN OTHER UNIVERSES

I'm scared of everything to do with socialization & humanity, pregnancy, medical needles, hospitals, thunder & lightening, nightmares (which I don't even have), and clowns. That's a heck of a lot, so you'd expect horror games to actually scare me since they're basically simulations of nightmares. They don't because I have emotional blunting caused by alexithymia. How the fuck does that even work?

-Someone who has a bunch of phobias but who also experiences very little emotion

Seeing someone else in love/dating : aww that's so cute! Good for them :)

The thought of myself being in love/dating : oh god please no

YOU KNOW THAT FEELING WHEN YOU'RE IN A PERFECTLY HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT YOU FEEL TRAPPED AND SUFFOCATED ANYWAYS BC YOUR FEAR OF COMMITMENT IS TRYING TO GET YOU TO RUN AWAY AND YOUR FEAR OF ABANDONMENT/BEING ALONE IS TELLING YOU TO STAY SO EVERY DAY YOU FEEL LIKE THE CORE OF A STAR SIMULTANEOUSLY TRYING TO EXPAND AND TO COLLAPSE AND YOU WONDER HOW LONG IT'LL TAKE YOU TO BECOME A BLACK HOLE

Why be afraid of marriage?

"Wedding anxiety" means feeling fear or anxiety at the thought of marriage or a permanent commitment to a life partner. It's not just curiosity or a little nervousness—it can be a form of anxiety, fear, confusion, or mental pressure about whether or not to take this step, and whether everything will be okay afterward. In some cases, this is called gamophobia—the fear of marriage/commuter commitment. Physical reactions such as anxiety, increased heart rate, palpitations, sweating, and shortness of breath at the thought of marriage. Insomnia or sleep disturbances, and distracted thoughts like "What if the wedding goes wrong?" or "What if I can't fulfill this role?", etc. Constant uncertainty about marriage, your life partner, and the future. Overthinking, making decisions difficult. Having high expectations of yourself and your partner that seem impossible. In some cases, fear and stress increase around the wedding day (pre-wedding period).
