Top 10 Things That Are Not for the Faint of Heart

Pregnancy is the moment a baby develops inside a female, who then becomes a mother. It's also the top thing here that isn't suitable for the faint of heart as while it varies from woman to woman, in many cases there's incomprehensible & relentless suffering that's indescribable & full of pain that lasts for 9 months (0.75 years). Along with that are injuries that keep on building & don't go away til the end, at childbirth. Plus hunger & thirst is increased & blood pressure's diluted, leading to chance of fainting spells & blackouts. Plus body temperature is increased & so is sweat rate & likelihood of dehydration, making one have to drink much more than usual & many are more tired than ever & want to sleep but have to keep waking up to go to the restrooms. Yet headaches & body aches aside, many uncontrollable cramps or contractions occur & keep on building & speeding up as time goes on til the birth. Heartburn & the heart in your throat feeling (like on a roller coaster but stronger) from acid reflux takes place. Near the end, the baby presses against the lungs & rib cages, causing further internal pain & make breathing nearly impossible (yet we need to breathe in order to live) & good sleep becomes tough to near impossible, leaving the expectant mothers sleep deprived. Muscle tears & severe back pain are inevitable too. Childbirth is the grand finale of pregnancy & arguably the most extreme & painful part, where the baby comes out, leading to a most likely permanent injury in the area that the baby caused for the mother. And this is after 9 whole months of all that unimaginably excruciating & miserable torture. It's said to be the #1 thing worth any amount of suffering as the baby brings the most joy you'll ever get on Earth. I haven't been pregnant before, but I've learned at school & the doctor what it is & how it occurs & I know everyone's pregnancies are different, so this is a generalized comment, but for one thing, it's absolutely NOT for the faint of heart.

You though school was hard in your life? Well there are some jobs that'll put even school to shame. Jobs such as factory work, construction work, & even mail delivery are physically & mentally stressful & being done every day makes them put a major toll on your health & the mental peer pressure only adds to them. Plus, the anticipation of such jobs drives anxiety high. If you're doing a job for making the money you want for things, then it may be worth all the hassle, but if you can't take your job, just remember such jobs aren't suitable for the faint of heart.

Thrill rides are a staple in amusement and theme parks. They are defined by an uncontrollable sense of fear and panic that triggers adrenaline, usually caused by a lack of control in such environments. Roller coasters are the most famous examples of thrill rides. These rides take you up to extreme heights in open vehicles, and you go down multiple drops. Sometimes you go through inversions and loops. Each movement affects your stomach and heart, making them unsuitable for those with any weaknesses or heart problems.

Furthermore, these rides elevate your heart rate and blood pressure due to anticipation and the actual experience. Therefore, they aren't advisable for people with heart problems or high blood pressure. In addition, the fluctuating g-forces and motion make them bad for people prone to motion sickness, who are consequently prohibited from riding. The rides also have restraints, making them challenging for people with claustrophobia and likely to trigger anxiety. They are not for the faint of heart for any reason, although kiddie coasters are less intense and are designed for young children.

Another consideration is that these rides are known for long lines, and you stand in them for extended periods. The long waits, combined with the physical and mental stress, can build up anxiety but also make the ride experience more thrilling.

Other examples of thrill rides include drop towers, where you ascend on an elevator on a tower and then plummet. Some, like the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Walt Disney World, even incorporate random drops to elevate the thrills. Simulators such as Flight of Passage, also at Walt Disney World, offer highly realistic immersion, making guests feel like they're flying uncontrollably thousands of feet in the air without enclosures.

Such rides also have psychological elements that contribute to the sense of thrill. They are designed to give riders the illusion of danger, impending doom, and even... more

Rockets are known to be so powerful that they overwhelm everything even miles away. Some rockets do such that & their powerful flames can burn your eyes from miles away (just like staring directly at the Sun unprotected) & the noise & vibrations are indescribable & are even felt more than heard, causing not only severe ear pain & loss, but also violent vibrations that can get your heart out of your chest or even feel like a heart attack & rattle your bones & even teeth from miles away. People who have been a few miles from such rockets said there are no words to describe the power & experience, proving it's all more than overwhelming & thrilling. Heck people even compared them to violent wars & when rockets land (which SpaceX just achieved in the last couple years) sonic booms take place, which are likened to air strikes & nearly give people heart attacks & far surpass even the biggest firework displays you'll ever witness & all of this becomes part of your memories & haunts them forever.

Driving is known to be a major trigger for anxiety in many people. The thought & fear of getting into an accident or something tamer lime failing the driving test is a way to get all nervous & scared of the unknown. The fear of death springs into mind & that's an unknown that triggers anxiety towards lots of people. Driving also puts stress on the feet over time. Driving is certainly not for the faint of heart (or feet).

Horror movies may be classic, but they're made for a reason. There's suspense & even scary scenery & jump scares. At home they may seem simple, but at a movie theater, they're a whole different experience. Movie theaters give people the real experience of watching horror movies. They're known to give guests a thrill & often haunt dreams afterwards.

Some are really disturbing to watch for me and I'm not the kind of guy who is easily disgusted or scared by gore.

Conventions are one of those things many think looks like fun. A world of all stuff to enjoy & get together to celebrate. While that stuff does happen, they're MORE than that. They're actually more about being in crowded & stressful environments where you're crammed in with a bunch of people, making them nightmares for claustrophobics. Not to mention they involve a series of extremely long lines & wait times to convention centers & other things within them are super long & often off the charts & especially the combination of queues will put severe physical & mental stress on everyone there. Like Disneyland, but worse, imagine wanting to do all the fun things & even go to the restrooms & you have to wait many hours for either of those things. Yet unlike Disneyland where you FastPass attractions, there's no FastPass for these or anything in them. Many even unfortunately miss out on many things due to long wait times & being in crowds, it's hard to control one's self & social anxiety's abound & many who didn't think they had that might at those things. Plus you never know what others want to say to you, which also drives fear of the unknown & the unknowns of announcements of what's going on/who's going is an extreme anxiety trigger. The unknown of whether what you went to one for happens or doesn't happen is a major factor for such anxiety. At big cities on New Year's Eve, there are crowds & you spend your day waiting for the countdown, but at least you know there's a countdown coming & that it's the new year, but when waiting for something at a convention, there's no knowing whether or not what you intended it for is going to happen. Security issues also add to all the stress & fear. Lots of walking also occurs & so does poor sleep & hissy fits. The strategy of planning to go to one is unbelievably hard & certainly not for the faint of heart, yet costly & many even have to fly to places for such things, all proving this stuff isn't good for people with agoraphobia... more

That depends of what fandom you're involved in.

Enjoy what you enjoy, fandoms can get toxic fast, especially if the fandom is for something extremely popular

Well we were supposed to use guns for defense, & they are powerful. Using black powder for energy to release bullets. The sound of a gunshot is loud & startling & a bullet hits you fast enough to cause an excruciating & nasty wound. The worst part though is nowadays people are using them to kill each other for no reason. Hate & terrorism have impacted our world & scared many lives, both normal & famous, & took away lives as well.

Guns were for defense in the Wild West era.

Concerts involve lots of planning, expensive tickets + loud music, & crowds. Music can be catchy & keep one wanting to experience it, but loud sounds are also known to be painful & dangerous. It's been known that OSHA has laws on noise levels & that concerts are some of the things that put people at risk of hearing loss, as they approach high dB levels (typically 100-114 dB) & hearing loss is often permanent like a tattoo & once you lose your hearing enough, you can't get it back. Concerts are like drugs & smoking, they're addicting after time, but they pose hazards & dangers that sneak up even when you don't realize them. If you're concerned about safety, then you'll know they definitely aren't for the faint of such heart.

Vaccines go with doctors' appointments, which I put on the list. Yet I mentioned them on that item as well. Now the COVID-19 vaccines are especially not for the faint of heart as they're known to cause some pretty bad symptoms depending on the person & you have to get them twice in the same month/year. You have to wait a whopping 28 days (4 weeks or the length of February) for a booster shot from the Moderna vaccine though only 21 days (3 weeks) for the Pfizer booster shot, yet all in all those getting the vaccines also get the booster shots, meaning you experience them again. Yet Pfizer acquires annual shots like the flu vaccine does, all meaning torturous symptoms every year.

Hospital appointments are places where appointments like surgery take place. They're often known for giving people fear. Yet the most famous thing done there is surgery. The effects of surgery before, during & afterwards come quite a surprise. The 1st is fasting for much of your day, risking dehydration, famine & exhaustion. Anesthetics involve either drinking or injections, both of which are nasty surprises. Then the operation takes place. The aftermath can also be quite intense & not everyone is excited for surgery.

I am a young teen girl who has watched porn, and believe me, it is harder than you think!

Porn is not good for anybody period & shouldn't be done.

Nothing wrong with porn, it is when porn controls you that it becomes bad, but that is true of a lot of things

I accomplished my first 300 metre bungee jump a couple of months ago. I just wanted to see if I could push myself to do something I was so scared of trying. I did it! I found it a very scary, but incredible experience. Well worth it. I would definitely do it again. And again.

Basically that goes with thrill rides, except it's done on one's own rather than getting tickets to ride on a vehicle. The thrill can be extreme, yet involves daring heights & it's certainly not for the faint of heart.
