I'm afraid of getting eaten

I don't watch monster movies or movies with cannibalism in them because I am afraid of people being eaten. The thing that disgusts me most is being swallowed alive, which goes back to this cartoon I saw as a small child. It just seems like the worst possible way to die. I have no problem with watching animals eat their prey (even snakes, I'm more afraid of bugs), but I can't watch movies where people get eaten without feeling sick after. I get nightmares about this. I don't know anyone else who has this fear, and anyone I've told about this has said it's weird.

  • The chances of actually being eaten by anyone or anything are probably quite low. As for the watching films bit, it's understandable.

    I'd be able to watch it but not without being squeamish but some people don't like those sorts of films.

    But you're unlikely to get eaten in real life, just don't do anything stupid or take unnecessary risks and you'll be fine. :)

    I once had a dream of a giant, obese, featherless chicken with a human baby head eating people. Every time he bit into their rib cage I could feel it!
    Dreams can be vivid and scary, but when you wake up and realize how silly it is, it's pretty fun to remember.

  • Shark week is coming on in a few days. Better not watch that lol. It's a normal fear but I doubt it will ever happen to you to be eaten alive.
