... Read moreHave you ever been startled awake by something unexpected? It's a common experience, and many people can relate. In this story, I describe the moment I was jolted out of sleep by a creature crawling across my chest. The shock and ensuing scream were undeniable, and it made for a memorable night! In todayโ€™s world, moments that induce fearโ€”whether from a harmless bug or something more frightfulโ€”can elicit strong responses. Experts suggest that our reactions to such surprises are instinctual, rooted in our primal need to protect ourselves from potential threats. Interesting enough, many individuals share similar stories of waking up to unexpected sights or sensations in their bedrooms. This phenomenon can range from harmless insects to terrifying visions from our dreams. If you have a funny or scary story of your own, feel free to share it! Engaging with stories like these can strengthen community bonds and evoke laughter. In conclusion, whether it's a joke, a fond memory, or a heart-pounding moment, these stories connect us all through shared experiences.

A young woman takes a selfie, with text overlay asking, "WHY DOES TRYING FEEL SO CRINGE? SCARED OF CHASING MY DREAMS IN FRONT OF PEOPLE I KNOW." The image reflects the article's theme of fear and embarrassment in pursuing entrepreneurial dreams.
A younger woman, labeled "17 YEAR OLD ME!!", stands between large tree trunks. Text overlays describe her hidden dreams of being an entrepreneur and the embarrassment she felt about them since high school.
A laptop screen displays a blog titled "from sarah jolie." Text overlays explain that she still hides her aspirations from her network and kept her blog a secret, feeling safer being seen by strangers.

Since high school, Iโ€™ve always had dreams of being an entrepreneur and self-employed. But I ALWAYS hid this part of me from almost everyone I knew.

Fun fact: I used to be scared of butterflies and moths. I could not handle them and how fast they fly and would freak out if either got close. Especially moths! Now I love both creatures. And this little guy was so cute and hung out for a while! I actually think both moths and butterflies are cute

The one movie thatโ€™s actually scared me
Nine out of 10 times if a scary movie is going to affect me in any way, itโ€™s never during the movie that it affects me. Itโ€™s only after what Iโ€™m trying to sleep alone in a dark room. But this movie scared me while I was actively watching it. The movie honestly isnโ€™t that scary itโ€™s just one
