A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

apart from the normal ones: balls/flying objects above the size and weight of a badminton ball.
Its because at every opportunity someone accidentally threw a ball into my face.
It got to panic attacks after a shoe landed in my face.

The fear got to the level i can only get to close proximity of a sport ball if i know the intent of balldirection is opposite of where im standing (its possible for others to kick a ball to a goal but not to kick it back, they would need to carry it). Else i dont even visit very ball sporty places

Biggest fear I can't control: living a life where I get walked over, where nobody seems to care about me but expect me to drop everything for them (wait, that's my life right now)

Biggest fear I can control: thalassophobia

Yea I think yours is a pretty good one, we all have that particular dear deep down.

Also the fear that I will never again will live under that self-evident feeling of safety and comfort (German: Geborgenheit) that I know dorm my childhood
