Immortality. Never experiencing an end is strange and terrifying. Think about how long it’ll take until time starts becoming non-linear, moving faster and faster as you don’t worry about it. Time will move so pointlessly to a point that you can’t enjoy anything, everything around you will deteriorate and disappear, because unlike you, everything else has a due date, including the universe. -u/geo3p

Slow mental decay. Alzheimers sounds scary as all hell. -u/PM_ME_YOUR_WORRIES

21.
Winter in Sweden. Darkness from when you wake up until when you fall asleep, unless you have time off and can capture the narrow window of "light" you get each day. Too cold to operate a phone outside because your fingers simply freeze to the point that you either put gloves on or lose fingers. So people stay inside in isolation most of the winter and only hang out with their close friend groups. Same routine, every day, and all you can do is brace until summer. -u/CunningHamSlawedYou
22.
Getting captured by the cartels. -u/Iamtheattackk
23.
Being stuck in a loveless marriage where neither person loves the other but they stay together for the kids or just don't want to go through getting a divorce. -u/Mysterious-Girl-28

Finding out aliens are real but everyone thinks you’re crazy. -u/Altruistic-Daikon
