oh no.... *trigger warning*

Question

So I started watching this guy who would cover minor crimes, all with happy endings (child ab*se stories, kidnappers, etc). It wasn't affecting me at all, until a video showed up on my for you page about kidnappers. I decided to watch it, but only watched half of it for whatever reason.

After that, I got attached to YouTube crime documentaries.

I and officially scared of reality.

No, really. Some girl was on a walk with her mom, and her mom got knocked out and the girl got throw into a car and kidnapped. Luckily, the police found her and she was fine, but what if they didn't find her in time?

Someone help me.....

Answer 1

I do the same stuff and my anxiety just randomly appears out of nowhere at 3am saying "you're about to get kidnapped and unalived by this 50 yr old man in your closet" so- yeah :)

I just say "gurl Shut upp"

Idk If that helps

But

Tell your anxiety off

Or whatever

Answer 2

My mom loves true crime. She watches it on TV. (She doesn’t like the identify theft true crime, just the ones that happen in real life, especially cold cases)

I’m not allowed to watch true crime.

Answer 4

Ooh I love true crime documentaries, they,are interesting but it still is sad that things like that happen to people

(also I seen,the one where the girl was kidnapped from her mothers arms, and saw what the man did to her afterwards sickened me)

Comments

omg I literally was like:

I am never going on walk with my friends again- 

bc in the summer I walk over to our neighborhood convenience store with my friends a lot

I don't have real friends so I stay inside all the time, but I could be a target for predators online

Answer 5

I can relate. I watch a lot of true crime and it makes me really scared.

Just remember this:

Just bc you started watching stuff like that doesn't mean it's gonna happen anytime soon. It's too much of a coincidence.
