What is the definition of Patterns Fear? 🙋 🔍
"Patterns fear" is like the existential dread of seeing your favorite TV show on repeat, but with a side of anxiety about whether it's really the same story or if someone's just trying to scare you with their own version of reality. It's the fear that no matter how many times we've seen a horror movie, the jump scares are just part of the plot and we're still just going to die in our sleep.
Here's a darkly comedic example: "When the ghostly figure of the janitor from last week showed up, fear patterns fear turned into a full-blown existential crisis: 'Is this the same guy from the 'Office Hours' episode? Am I really dying again?'"
