When I was young and I was walking into a dark room I used to say “I know you’re in there” because i was afraid there was something hiding and I thought the might revel themselves early if they throught the jig was up.
I did something similar. I figured that whatever was in there could read my mind so I imagined doing the most heinous violent acts on whatever was in there. I thought that it would scare whatever was in there away from me.
eventually I started doing it anytime I was scared or nervous.
now I’m a psychopath and nothing scares me, because I’ll just kill whatever scares me.
thanks mild childhood trauma!
I went through a period when i was a (pre)teenager where i thought it was funny to give the middle finger to the ceiling/corners of empty rooms in case there was a hidden camera there.
I’m still working through that phase in my 50’s.
8th grade me jealous the snipers on the Lincoln Memorial had a better view of the fireworks.
I thought I was the only one who did this growing up lol
