Broken glass or porcelain, but specifically the idea that splinter sized shards could get missed, end up in my fingers or toes, I could somehow completely miss that they did, and then they’d just randomly cause intense sharp pinpricks of pain randomly for the rest of my life.
Like full on panic attack from a dropped glass breaking near me.
Like, I know how to deal with it, but still. Just put on your shoes, some gloves, carefully sweep up what you can, vaccuum with something that doesn’t blast air everywhere, then wipe a damp paper towel over the area to get any stragglers. If I’m extra paranoid I’ll let it dry then sweep and vacuum again.
I think it comes from some weird and intense growing pains I had like that growing up, plus repeated times in school I ended up getting nearly invisible stinging papercuts on my fingers.
then they’d just randomly cause intense sharp pinpricks of pain randomly for the rest of my life.
If it helps at all, your body will push foreign objects like glass out of your body. You’ll probably get a glass like sliver after a while that you could pull out.
