Today, I was taking a serious shit when the light bulb burned out. I am terrified of the dark and began wailing and crying. My mom had to pick the lock and get me out. I'm a 17 year old guy and captain of the Varsity football team. My little brother recorded it and plans on showing everyone. FML

If it was a very serious shit, you would have not taken your mind off of such a serious excrement, therefore there would be no crying and no FML, so it obviously wasn't a serious shit, just a normal one.

And, you being 'captain of the Varsity football team' is relevant, because? God, I hate it when people think they're so great.

I doubt he's really trying to improve his image among others he didn't know. Mentioning that he's the captain of the football team is likely to reinforce how much of a blow it is to his image; the captain of the football team would most likely be strong, brave, yadda-e-yadda, and here he is reduced to crying by simple lack of light.

I don't get the part about your mom having to pick the lock but people can't help phobias and it must have been serious if you couldn't stop from being subject to all that embarrassment.

We do not really fear the dark. There is nothing scary about darkness, it is just the absence of light. What really frightens us is the unknown, the things we can't see hiding around us, the things that the lack of light keeps from us. We all experience this fear walking alone on dark streets, creeping around our houses at night, etc. What I don't understand is what there could possibly be to fear between you, your sink, and the toilet. Think of it like this. Of all the worlds murders, real and imagined, I have never one heard of one that occurred mid-excretion. In simpler words, get over it and use your rational mind.

"There is nothing to be feared from a body, Harry, any more than there is anything to be feared from the darkness. Lord Voldemort, who of course secretly fears both, disagrees. But once again he reveals his own lack of wisdom. It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more."

Yes, use your rational mind, because mental health issues and neuroses such as serious phobias are completely subject to the control of rational thought. Except of course they're not. For example, I have a serious phobia of mannequins. It's a completely irrational fear (which, by definition, is what phobias are), and I know this, but it doesn't stop me from bordering on an anxiety attack when I go into a clothing store. Mental dysfunction can't be cured by your own mind.

Actualy last time I checked, I controll when I scream and cry because i'm in the dark. It is something that is completely controlable, in case you didn't know, people can overcome fears.

Unfortunately, it isn't that easy for everyone.

And in case YOU didn't know (#96), phobias aren't fears. Fears are thing you are afraid of up front, in your first or second layer of your brain, so it isn't too hard to get rid of. A phobia, however, is something deeply wedged in a deep corridor inside you semi-conscious, which controls anything you yourself cannot control. If one was to use the same methods of up front and immediate cures people used for fears and used them for a phobia, you would probably get the person at least unconscious, and then to heart failure and death from the shock. tl;dr:Fears are easier to get rid of then phobias.

I still get terrified of my phobias, it's not easy to beat the fear. What is easier is to control your reaction to your fear and screaming and wailing because you are scared means you're a pussy. Learn to control yourself.
