I have a paralyzing phobia of flying. I do, but It's always many hours of sheer terror. In my paranoia, I recently unlocked a new concern about air travel: what if a meteorite hits the plane? That would certainly be catastrophic. And now I've acquired a new one, space debris! Nice.
- tgv 1y agoI think this shows a hit by a small meteorite or space shrapnel is well survivable. It might even be a thought that can help you cope.
- sorokod 1y agoYou could get hit by a meteorite or space debris without flying too. Not sure if this helps though...
- QuiEgo 1y agoYou could get hit by a meteorite walking down the street, taking a train, or driving a car too. There's some degree of things we just can't do anything about. We just have to accept it and move on. There's something about the human condition that makes it easy to say, and hard to do, and harder for some people than others - wishing you luck on your journey. Focus on what you can control (exercise is a miracle drug that will lower your risk of so many problems! Don't smoke! Use sunscreen!) and enjoy life as best you can.
- virgildotcodes 1y agoI know you're trying to help, but genuine phobias don't typically yield to rational deconstruction.
