For example, I’m terrified of smelling bad

    Passing out in public. I’ve done it 3 times, none of them because I was drunk, and let me tell you, that embarrassment lasts a lifetime. It hasn’t happened in like 25 years, but if I feel even slightly off, I’ll excuse myself and go find a quiet corner, because I would rather die there alone than be remembered as that person who fainted in public.

      I feel this as well. I have a condition that makes it hard to breathe, so sometimes I just blackout from lack of oxygen. The only time this happened in public, I had a seizure to accompany and wet myself. I woke up with a bunch of dudes looking over me and had some stranger’s fingers in my mouth because he was worried I’d bite my tongue. Yeah. No thanks
