Many fears from childhood persist into adulthood, as shared by BuzzFeed Community members. While sounding irrational, these fears highlight the lasting impact of early experiences.
Some member mentions, 'I can't see a mirror at night. There are no mirrors in my bedroom, and I don't look at the mirror if I get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom.' This showcases the lasting influence of childhood beliefs, like Bloody Mary.
One community member recalls, 'I always bring a cellphone with me to any bathroom, just in case!' This highlights a practical coping mechanism stemming from a traumatic childhood experience of being trapped.
Fear of sharks continues for another individual, saying, 'To this day, I cannot go in the ocean or even stand to look up at a boat when driving down the road.' This quote underscores how childhood fears can be deeply ingrained.
