What's your boggart?

@chela

Bears
big snarly dogs
sliding off a mountain side
sucked out to sea

I wanna see a creature turn into the last two.

I don’t want to see a creature turn into the first two. :eek:

The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, of course.

I find this to be very sad (and I say this as somebody with a scar on my nose from a dog bite). I mean that sincerely, and I hope it is not considered condescending. Some of my best friends have been dogs.

Like the OP, mine would be a ringing telephone; specifically, a call on home from an angry client. I have a horrible habit of putting off difficult calls because I have such anxiety about the discussion, even though the actual experience is never as bad as I expect.

Can a boggart just be “anticipation”?

Don’t feel like you are alone, nearly every manager I have had has the same issue. I think that’s why they like me so much.

I grew up in western Washington. I had a nightmare about slugs when I was a kid. Didn’t mess me up to the point of phobia, really, but I was always a bit uneasy around them after that. And yeah, banana slugs are amazing and gross.

Satan’s boogers. :shudder:

Had to think a while. I have as many fears and anxieties as anyone, but having read this far, I’d have to say “one of my family dogs – with rabies.”

This packages several devastating circumstances:

[ul]
[li]A violent, nay, malevolent animal[/li][li]Risk of losing one’s “self” (as rabies replaces the mind)[/li][li]Fear of contagion[/li][li]Seeing a loved one erased and changed into an enemy[/li][li]Having to kill a loved family member[/li][/ul]

Ugh, just no. Our girls are of course vaccinated, and kept away from wild animals generally.
