Okay so I definitely have a phobia of distorted faces (massive "thanks", horror side of Reddit) and there isn't a term for it that wasn't also an older term for body dysmorphia, that being dysmorphophobia.

Since prosopophobia, the fear of faces in general, is already a properly laid out thing, I'm specifically making a term to refer to distorted ones. Thus, I'm hereby coining it as dysprosopophobia, or rather literally, "fear of abnormal faces" (where "dys-" is abnormal, "prosopo-" is face, and "-phobia" is fear).

Trying to look up results of "fear of distorted faces" does NOT help in exactly the same way that trying to look up "trypophobia" wouldn't for that phobia, so unless someone without this fear wants to find the proper term for me, I will be using my new one, thanks.

Was rereading a big long draft post I have and my brain decided to Do a Thing I like to call

Brain, Don't Think That!

I started off by thinking about how I developed a fear of repetitive music a few years ago, and the train of thought went something like this:

No wonder I hated that theme, it always led to glitchy jumpscares.

What other repetitive music did I hate?

Drip Drop Galaxy was creepy but otherwise nice. It's just that repeating part at the beginning -

*Suddenly thinks about that one music box sounding theme from the extended Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny meme*

Brain -

*Thinks about the godawful droning that follows it*

BRAIN -

*Is now stuck thinking only about The Horrors at fricking 11:30 PM in total darkness*

why.

*Remembers the one extra long MIBU video I and Roomie watched once*

Right, that was weird...

*Remembers THE FACES*

... Well, thank God my brain is incapable of properly replicating characters in dreams.

*Promptly gets scared shitless by a reminder to turn off my WiFi before bed*

Even though it's not a true story, I still use "X is/was the metaphorical coconut in Team Fortress 2" as a nerdier way of essentially calling something a keystone

Experiences I've had lately with some of my ✨colleagues✨ (classmates) have convinced me that there's a difference between "Hates Being Wrong" and "Needs to Be Right".

When I used to answer things wrong, especially if it was confidently so, I'd basically be like "hehe time to dunk my head in an aquarium about it". I hate it, and any possible attention from it, and the sheer fact that I was so convinced of it. I hated it so much I eventually just stopped answering things I wasn't 100% sure of. But it's part of learning, and it's not like I'd throw a fit and tell everyone that "Actually, I Was Right All Along".

People who Need to Be Right on the other hand, will absolutely not accept being wrong. I've had classmates try to tell teachers their own choice of word was wrong because of some specific little detail that was secondary to the word's common meaning. I've had a classmate call someone something offensive to their face and then double down on it every time it was brought up even indirectly because it was The Truth, The Law, and a Correct Word Choice (to them). These two may actually have been the same person, but I have a lot of classmates who sound kinda similar and I don't know anybody by face for the most part. There's usually like 200 of us in lecture halls at any point.

Do these overlap? Sometimes. The person who insisted on calling our guest that awful thing was definitely absorbed in the need to be correct and hated being called out for it by basically everyone. But I don't think these are always the same thing.
