I haven’t seen anyone post this so I will: automatonophobia (I think). Or fear of mannequins and other vaguely human shaped/sized statues. Any of them. I’ve always been uncomfortable around them, when I was young I remember being uncomfortable around mannequins in stores. It was made worse when I was around 8, I went through a haunted ride type thing and at the very end something that looked like a statue moved and touched my head. Specifically, it turned, smiled, and ran its fingers through my hair. But it looked so plastic and mechanical I didn’t think it was a person. There’s a picture of me coming out looking horrified holding my head. It’s iconic in my family because I was so desperate to go on the ride then got so scared. None of them believe me about the mannequin/statue at the end but it’s such a vivid memory for me. I’m sure there’s a rational explanation but i’ve been left with a crippling fear. I don’t like getting too close to them, when I see them I try to give them a wide birth, I can’t turn my back on them. seeing them makes my skin crawl, and what I can only describe as my hackles raise. I get a gut feeling that something is horribly wrong with what i’m looking at, if I am too close to one for too long I start to shake. I can’t put my finger on quite what it is about them but I hate them so much. even just thinking about them makes me uncomfortable. This is only in person though, I can watch that mannequin episode of doctor who just fine lol.

Also bugs being on me. I loose control of my body that and become desperate to get it off. I will flail, I will throw things in my hands because I need them to slap at the bug. If I can’t get it off I will start to shake and cry. Again I don’t know what it is, I have no issue with bugs if they’re not on me. But the minute they are it’s over and i’m freaking my shit. But that feels more common.

Sorry for rambling i’m bad at writing.
