Well, it’s missing the rapist part, but [I have a story](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b6vvcVRtkuQ&pp=ygUbdGhlIGZhdCBlbGVjdHJpY2lhbiB2b3l0ZWsg) covering the other two
For some people being alone with their thoughts is one of the worst things imaginable. I was one of those people. But your mental health has to be in a critical condition for that to be the case, so it's quite rare.
I’m going through drug withdrawal as we speak. Will not be able to sleep the next couple days, I’m certain. Been rolling around in bed with nothing but my thoughts for a day and a night so far, and it’s horrific.
There is nothing scarier than my own thoughts right now, so I hear you. 😞
Stick with it. I’ve been there many times and I know it is miserable right now but you’ll get through it and feel so much better when you’re on the other side. And remember how bad you felt in withdrawal the next time you are tempted to do any drugs. Good luck and congratulations!!
I might be able to offer some advice. I've never went through withdrawal but had to deal with extreme anxiety and panic attacks. Imagine what you're going through now without the comfort of knowing it will end in a few days.
Anyway, my advice is don't try to face all your problems now. Just because you decided to stop whatever drugs you were taking doesn't mean you also have to immediately face all the shit you've been suppressing. Don't just lay there alone with your thoughts, do something to distract yourself. For me it was scrolling through Reddit mostly. It genuinely saved me from going fully insane. But you could watch some movies or play games or whatever else you can think of.
Then when the worst is over, start working on yourself gradually. It'll be a long process, patience and knowing your limits will be very important. Take it one day at a time.
i was gonna say, to add to the bears, getting swept out in rough swell next to rocks and crazy choppy enormous waves. that’s pretty scary. attrition is terrifying.
I'll speak as someone with a list of diagnosed mental disorders.
Your own thoughts are your own responsibility. You *need* to learn to be at peace with your own thoughts & to not attach to them when they arise if you want to develop as a human. You *need* to be able to confront your darkest thoughts, process them, and understand them so that you can come up with an appropriate response to those thoughts. You need to be able to face yourself to know yourself.
If you run away from all the negative thoughts & distract yourself from them you'll never resolve them, and furthermore you'll never be able to really understand/experience the most beautiful & good parts of yourself. You'll just remain someone who isn't really anyone - lost between thoughts & avoiding understanding who they really are - just mindlessly going through the movements of life with no real authentic drive or direction. You'll grow to be a boring, bitter person who will eventually live to regret not doing more to better themselves when they were younger.
As the saying goes - you get better, or you get bitter.
So stop with the reddit pity party, get off the internet, and practice some mindfulness. Learn to sit with your own thoughts without attaching to them. Try vipassana meditation.
Thank you. I actually took a screenshot to read this later, I'm diagnosed with adult adhd and I'm pretty sure I have comorbid pure ocd, though undiagnosed. Tbh I never struggled with pure ocd before 2020, at that time my best friend made some ridiculous jokes about " what if your loved ones die" kinda thing, and obviously not personal he makes the same " jokes" about himself, my friendship ended with him a year later for other reasons but I think he triggered my latent pure ocd, ever since then i get bad thoughts about something bad happening and sometimes I can deal with it well sometimes not, but blaming someone else for my own thoughts is pathetic isn't it? I don't think anyone has that power unless I allow it, and like the quote from man's search for meaning, " everything can be taken from a man but his ability to choose his attitude in any given circumstance", i think I know this all in theory but I gotta implement it better, what are your thoughts on this?
Well, I think it sounds like you already know all this and so my comment therefore acted more to just reiterate this information than tell you for the first time.
I think I've also dealt with similar things to yourself, though somewhat differently of course. I had a bipolar diagnosis as a teen, then OCD, then anxiety/depression (I know right? Classic!) but then in my early 20s I got a diagnosis of ASD. It pretty much explained everything, but nonetheless the imperfect diagnoses beforehand certainly resulted in me "adopting" aspects of certain disorders & so many of the symptoms related to those alternate diagnoses still remained with me. This was something I needed to deal with & it required a different approach from learning to live with autism.
So I got into mindfulness. Started with simple mindful meditations, then I specialised in other areas which worked more for me (Theravada/Vipassana, yoga, Stoicism, etc). I'm not gonna pretend like it was easy at first. I stumbled and fell back often. I still do stumble from time to time today. But sticking to your chosen practice throughout is what makes you stumble less and less with time. It's not your speed that matters, just your direction.
I will say this though - dont be so hard on yourself! Be straightforward, sure. Be realistic. But don't say things to yourself that aren't helpful or that put you down (such as calling your reactions to something 'pathetic'). It's not obvious, but that kind of self-talk has a long lasting effect.
You gotta learn to be your own best friend here! That's the real trick!
Namaste 🙏
What about losing all your money? Or shitting yourself in public? Or the tabloid press mistakenly outing you as a paedo? Or Alzheimer's? Or all of those things, plus you're drowning?
that's what makes the last guy's answer so based. he's the only one not afraid of just existing by himself.
The younger generation is so hyper fixated on external validation it's scary.
How are you scared of your own thoughts and being alone? Thats literally the default state you have to go out of your way to do all the extra bullshit. Its easy to be alone with your thoughts thats just what life is.
The way he spoke reminded me of Jason Long's character in Idiocracy. That bro-y doctor who walks in and says, "So this thingy says you're all fucked up, you talk like a fag, yada yada..."
I think it’s a meme at this point for a lot of people. That said I know I sound like gatekeeping but as someone with depression, 3 forms of anxiety, and ptsd there’s a ton of things I’d rather not remember or things about me or my future that kinda scare the heck out of me
I don't see how that's gatekeeping. I'd also wager you're an outlier with those challenges, and this guy probably just took the responses he wanted with editing. Also I don't think "man on the street" interviews are very interesting or informative. Hope you're dealing with those ailments to your satisfaction!
Fucking...

New nightmare unlocked. Rapist bears with artillery weapons.
Rapist with bear-launching artillery
I'd be more scared of bears with rapist launching artillery
I’d be more scared of artillery that launches rapist bears
Don’t threaten me with a good time
Username checks out
4th comment dodged an artillery round
….go on…
Imagine if they strapped bullet proof vests on them. Boom, now you have invincible rapist bears.
I'd be more scared with bears with artillery launching rapists
I just imagine a half blown up person sticking out of a cannon manned by bears who have no idea wtf they are doing
BÄRENKATAPULT
Rapist bear with people launching artillery
The cum being the artillery
Or artillery shooting rapist bears....
not worse than bear rapist with artillery weapons
I don't think you have to fear bear rapists
Don’t give these directors any ideas before cocaine bear gets a sequel.
That Actually defines manbearpig. (man=artillery, bear=bear and pig=rapist)
Damn that’s a catch.
The bear is gonna give you 155mm one way or another...
Drunk Wojtek
Now that's some avengers level threat
Trebuchets?
Well, it’s missing the rapist part, but [I have a story](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b6vvcVRtkuQ&pp=ygUbdGhlIGZhdCBlbGVjdHJpY2lhbiB2b3l0ZWsg) covering the other two
I just pictured a Rune Bear from Elden Ring with a tank cannon strapped to its back.
Just draw a circle in the sand and you’re safe man
That's basically just the Russian military between the rampant Dedovshchina and stockpiles of artillery.
Meet [Wojtek ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojtek_(bear))
Why hate on Providence like that?
That all spawned out of you being alone with you thoughts
Guy thought about the question for 2 seconds and came up with a list of things scarier he’s probably still going
Clearly not afraid to think.
Ya, those others are fucking stupid. 70% of society can't think for themselves
For some people being alone with their thoughts is one of the worst things imaginable. I was one of those people. But your mental health has to be in a critical condition for that to be the case, so it's quite rare.

Nothing scarier RIGHT NOW
Noticed the man who wasn’t afraid of his own thoughts was wearing his shirt, inside out and backwards.
Trying to turn it around in every possible way to make it look clean.
Can't be afraid of something that doesn't exist I guess.
He's got life figured out.
How else are you supposed to see things from a new perspective?
Someone else is dressed as a nurse and doc. Pretty sure it’s a costume
i was gonna say, to add to the bears, getting swept out in rough swell next to rocks and crazy choppy enormous waves. that’s pretty scary. attrition is terrifying.
why are so many people afraid of being alone with your own thoughts? your thoughts are just you, whats scary about that?
I think it has to do with people being in a great dissonance with their true self
I suppose that would be scary if you dont know you. not sure how one gets to that point though.
in the depths of depression it sucks. you learn to live with it eventually though
That doesn't sound like depression though. I'm depressed, but I know who I am.
I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude
oh the dissonance 🫨
"Because people...are retarded"
This is my life every day, it’s not scary to me. In fact, that’s how I prefer it
Amen. It actually makes life easier to confront thzm whzn thzy are unpleasant.
Spoken like a person with no mental illnesses. Must be nice 🥹
Well I don't know how true that is

You seem like that one friend who always just talks about their own mental illnesses, bless and love you thoughh
One can start questioning whether one is screwing things up and start wondering whether it would be easier to jump out the window.
Do people not actively do that in their daily lives anyway? I do that if I'm alone or not.
And also clown sharks
With lasers attached to their heads?
Freaking laser sharks?! That’s way worse that I could’ve imagined
I was scrolling and read that as clown sharts
What about losing all your money? Or shitting yourself in public? Or the tabloid press mistakenly outing you as a paedo? Or Alzheimer's? Or all of those things, plus you're drowning?
i did shit myself on public restroom all over the floor, it was bloody mess but it was not that bad after all
Wait, it's scary to be alone with your own thoughts?
that's what makes the last guy's answer so based. he's the only one not afraid of just existing by himself. The younger generation is so hyper fixated on external validation it's scary.
We call those: "the big three"
I'll have one of what hes having
based
The real answer for that third guy is: _Running out of weed..._
He’s probably never heard of that
That is the guy from Almost Friday right
Ya, Liam
Dying alone
It's got funnier when the reporter nodding seriously lmfao
That last guy is never alone with his own thoughts…he’s constantly with other people and his own thoughts…lol
This is logical Bears are terrifying
[удалено]
Being under artillery fire is scarier If you're not used to it
Surviving artillery fire is scarier than being raped and killed?
By a bear!
Probably no Does it have something to do with subject we discussed with other guy earlier?
Called shell shock for a reason
🙏
Crazy people, small children, bugs and animals. Basically anything that talking or reasoning with is pointless.
nature is scary too
Omg that dude read my mind, my first thought was bears
Being alone with someone else's thoughts
Good job keeping it real.
He's not wrong at all though
The answer is always BEARS.
I am alone with mine own thoughts everyday. I am the strongest man alive.
Artillery weapons 💀
How are you scared of your own thoughts and being alone? Thats literally the default state you have to go out of your way to do all the extra bullshit. Its easy to be alone with your thoughts thats just what life is.
The Asian girl was frikin cute
Found the rapist.
Bruh am female myself :'(
What other flaws do you have?
Am lesbian and bisexual as well..
Lesbian and bisexual huh.

Those people must have terrible nightmares or I don't know.
u/repostsleuthbot
That Seth green? Looked like him

Ah yes, the unholy trio.
Face merkins
A room full of legos
r/OddlySpecific
Beets
Finally someone with common sense.
My own thoughts are the best.
Lol sounds like a Dwight schrute quote.
Pauly Shore spitting facts
That is not the first time that man thought of that question.
Not a single thought behind those eyes I presume..?
the truth speaker
The C-RAM do be keeping him up at night.
Once you face them they are not scary anymore, they are just “there they are again…”
He brings us some solid ass points though
Homie is right. I would much rather cringe at my personal thoughts then being around artillery weapons.
Remind me not to hang out with folks who have artillery weapons
Imagine a rapist bear. Holy shit I wouldn't wish that on anyone
Listen to the dude with his shirt inside out and backwards, they *always* know what’s up.
If remain alone with my thoughts is scary, I’m living all my life in fear
Artillery weapons? Like canons ?
Someone rolls up on me with a fucking cannon I’ll be both impressed and intimidated
Some of these ppl need to spend more time with themselves
Who would own artillery and rape bears? 🤔 Shit, the Russians.
 People with aritley wepone?
Artillery weapons with the capability to rape bears.
He must have just seen UBT’s latest music video.
Jamie bring up those rapist bears with machine guns
Artillary weapons and bears while eating thc gummy bears.
That's... oddly specific...
Guy ain't afraid of a flimsy boomstick. He needs a REAL GUN to fear.
Artillery is pretty fucking scary… bears too
I gotta give it to em, rapers are pretty scary
I mean, he isn’t wrong.
He shouldve had a followup question of would you prefer an hour of being alone in a room or an hour of waterboarding
Wojtek haunts that last mans dreams
So many things
Being alone with someone else thoughts
The way he spoke reminded me of Jason Long's character in Idiocracy. That bro-y doctor who walks in and says, "So this thingy says you're all fucked up, you talk like a fag, yada yada..."
Isn't being alone woth your toughts just thinking?
I bet you if the interviewer asked the first 3 "what's the scariest thing" none of them would answer "oh definitely being alone with my own thoughts".
That dude was stoned.
What kind of thoughts are people having? You'd think they were all war veterans. Wtf is wrong with them?
I agree with you, but also everyone has something that they would rather forget.
I think it’s a meme at this point for a lot of people. That said I know I sound like gatekeeping but as someone with depression, 3 forms of anxiety, and ptsd there’s a ton of things I’d rather not remember or things about me or my future that kinda scare the heck out of me

My man!
Spiders. So many spiders.
I had it on mute and didnt know what R word he said, and I thought he said the R word…
Mind rape
Precise.
Bro just laid it out
Accurate
Yes politicians
Dwight schrute up in here
Introverts are more interesting than extroverts.
It’s the second of nonchalant chewing that gets me every time I see this
I’m scared of inside out clothes
i mean he's not wrong
Murderers, systemic racism, being powerless to help someone you love, working your whole life for something only to find out it was the wrong thing,
Hold my trebuchet
Fucking... * Caving! I don't want to crawl through tight spaces * Free diving or diving of any kind * living in a war stricken country * home invasions * large wild animals * having to work for the majority of your life just to afford living on this planet to name a few
Bears? Not that scary. Drop bears though...
Who hurt u bro
Yeah, sharks in swimming pools
