    I fear alarms because they hurt. It’s not like Spiders where learning more helps. I’ve been hurt by alarms hundreds of times in my life. Learning more isn’t going to help me fear them less.

      How are you hurt by alarms? Noise, high voltage, the fear of the things they indicate, or something else? legitimately curious, never heard of this phobia before

        Autism. Too loud. Hurts. I’m very slow to evacuate because I always need to take the time to put in my nose cancelling earbuds so I can evacuate safely. If the alarm were quieter, it wouldn’t hurt as much
