"What are you still afraid of that you shouldn't be?"
It was even in the title, dude. You know what, you could say that about alot of the other comments here (anyone I'm about to quote I'm not trying to lessen your opinions/fears just make a point).
--------------------
"I still have an irrational fear of insects, I don't think I'll ever get over it."
You could say that being afraid of insects doesn't make sense because while there are dangerous ones most of them just leave you alone.
--------------------
"Having my back turned to a dark room. I get chills just thinking about it."
Why didn't you tell them how irrational getting chills from the dark is?
--------------------
"To this day I can't take a dump at night with the lights off without worrying about candyman."
Why don't you tell them how "It doesn't make any sense" because candyman doesn't exist.
--------------------
You could say that about a lot of these, but why would you? Do you want to know my guess as to why I'm the only person I ever see getting comments like this?
It's not because my comments are inappropriate or needlessly offensive: I look them over to make sure.
It's not that they are out of place: I'll admit to someone removed from it and who does not share this irrationality that it might seem outlandish.
I would have to say the only difference between what I say and what others have said is that when I came here I decided to go with the username /u/RedditExodus. The funny thing was it was more of a joke than anything, god knows it wasn't because Reddit had sculpted my behavior. I lurked for the most part with the occasional comment which would almost always get this kind of snarky, belittling response.
When I came here I saw how nice the community was and how it indeed felt like a community (or at least it does while its still so small) and I thought I could try to not lurk as much. For the most part it is nice and I can lurk alot less.
You're not the first person who has "called me out" for being "so Reddit like". I don't recall the first in detail because I deleted my comment. I thought for sure that I was at fault. That I was "acting like a Redditor and not a Snapzite but I didn't understand how. After a while of thinking about it I realized I hadn't said anything offensive, combative, out of place or overly snarky (which I will admit most of my humor is being a "smart" ass).
I know this is a bad example because I can't provide proof since I had deleted it (his went something like "[something something something] leave your Reddit ways behindxp") but I guess if I need to prove everything I post then I will be sorely lacking...
Edit:
I just wanted to say I'm sorry but I found your comments sole purpose was to beltille what you saw in my comment (which was probably spurred by my choice of username) and so I have down voted it. I think this is the second down vote I have ever used since I joined.
Insects are gross. Not scary, but creepy and should be avoided. The others were scared of what's in the dark. You're scared of your own reflection.
If you had a less reddity name, I would have thought "That's stupid". But because you've made it so obvious you're a redditor, I thought "That's the kind of stupid crap I came to snapzu to get away from"
It doesn't make any sense. You look at part of a mirror, see part of your reflection and start crying from fear?
It sounds like one of those 3scary5me things that reddit was full of for a while.
