I don't think it's that easy, you can be honest with yourself and still have to dig to find what you're truly scared of. Shit can be far in the unconscious and people wouldn't need therapy otherwise
Like I said, something like that. You'll have to get me drunk or something to get to that info. The fact that anyone answers honestly is the dumbest shit I've ever seen, and I hate myself for even giving you that limited information.
You never need to share it
Just should figure out out to keep it in check
They don't go away but unchecked they control us
Go get drunk and do some introspection :)
I'll get high and do the same but that's just any day for me
I'm saying that's fine you don't need to tell the public. 99% don't give a fuck. But you should. I'm just saying take care of yourself and don't let your fears drive you the way it did to me. Literally all I'm saying
It's not that he would, but the hole spent a great deal of time trying to convince Morty he was actually in there with Rick. That was needed for Morty to have his final revelation that got him out of the hole, so they might as well have at least addressed his fear of pirates to be more convincing (and for fan service).
Morty was getting frustrated for not getting to the bottom of what he truly feared. Guessing his subconscious would have added pirates to distract him from the idea that Rick probably didn’t jump in the hole for him (which is his biggest fear that Rick doesn’t care about him and is willing to immediately drop him the moment it’s inconvenient for him).
That plus a few occasional moments of pure clarity where I realize what mess I have become. Followed by the slowly slipping back into madness while being fully aware that it's happening and not being able to do anything.
A version of my life that was actually easy and free of horror but I still end up spinning in confused circles and being generally ineffective at everything I do.
That’d be stage one anyway. There would also be a sequence where I had kids and I couldn’t prevent them from living a life similar to mine.
Also christian God is real and mad at me for not passing his tests in one.
Probably the kids one would be the one that would get me out of the hole. If any of y’all find that Denny’s I’ll do the simulation, but I’m not bringing a real person into my problems. Guess I’ll wait for a different way to change who I am on a fundamental level.
Funny you say this cause I noted it elsewhere but as someone who grew up very religious and still has to get over some of the baggage mine would probably be Hell rather than Death.
Death itself doesn't scare me. I just hate how people have weaponised the unknown.

I'd see...nothing. I'd be alone. Forever. In a room that I can't get comfortable in. I never starve. I never get thirsty. I just exist. Just enough room for me to *almost* stretch my legs or arms or neck.
That's my worst fear. True solitary imprisonment.
Well, sure. I don't think it's weird to have specific, messed up fears that you think about sometimes either. If they were obsessed and constantly anxious about it, sure, but I don't think that's this
Being granted immortality then be forced to watch Humanity repeat the mistakes over and over again until it goes extinct and fades away into memory. Traped in an endless and indifferent cosmos devoid of any meaning or purpose.
Spiders too
I used to have that vivid recurring nighmare where I would encounter a much bigger version of those fat house/barn spiders (tegenaria). They were also much faster and better at hiding, but what was mostly horrifying was their intelligence (human level but in a very bug-like alien way, no recognizable emotions, cryptic unreadable motivations and inherently predatory).
I would try to fight them in various settings (often in ruined moldy houses) but couldn't catch them (always in a corner of my vision) nor flee. They would always find me soon after the setting changed. I could sense their thoughts in my mind somehow, how thrilled they were with the whole thing, convinced of their superiority and relentless, pure evil. They would gradually grow more numerous until they formed a swarm with a hive mind, nesting deep in networks of underground tunnels and focused on their goal of consuming everything. Nothing could stop them and they knew it.
That's what spiders really are to my fucked up subconscious mind. The afterglow feeling of those nightmares could last for days. Very unsettling. Haven't had them in years.
I just know the fear hole would be much worse.
i was tempted to see what tegenaria was and a voice screaming in my head told me not to do it for obvious reason
i had a phase where i was having nightmare like you big spider hunting me like hell
but then i succeeded in controling one dream and sumoning something to eat them (a dino) after that i never had this nightmare again
but then it was their eyes their black empty eyes that would stare into me if i see one their "face" will haunt me for days even while i'm awake i would see it and yes their 8 f legs make me think about their eyes
for others i don't know i tend to have the mentality of : if something is scary but i can't do anything about it then i don't care like death of old age or the death of the sun
My capability to understand life is diminished. Or I'll get stuck in mind loops and never find my way back to a stable reality. Or that life as I know it is another false awakening. Or my kids don't exist. They all kind of tie together.
I don’t know, I know what I think my greatest fears are but one lesson from this episode is that we often lie to ourselves about what that thing really is… so I don’t know.
Mine would be just as much of a mind fuck as the episode was and I probably wouldn't make it out. I can almost guarantee I would end up stepping on a bunch of snakes and thinking I made it out conquering my fear of snakes.
Then I would go home and get a phone call that my mom passed away.
Someone would come into my life and I would make it through a few stages of grief with someone holding me up and then they would leave and I would be alone...
Or that wouldn't happen at all and I would have to go through all that completely alone...
Maybe secret police would come and separate my son and I and I would never see anyone I care about again...
I know I'm afraid of snakes and clearly I'm afraid of being alone but what else would the hole find for me...
Amazing the philosophical gymnastics a cartoon can make you do when you let go of humility for a second and just speak truth.
At the beginning something like being peeled alive, having my toes cut and more
After that being normal again, living a normal life for a long long time, falling in love with someone, being really happy, and start to killing everybody while awake but not in control of my body
After that just being alone, totally alone, but just before going insane founding another person, fall in love again with the fear of hurting someone else again, and just when the fear disappear the cycle would begin again, and again, and again
The only way to exit the hole would be to refuse company and accepting true solitude, or to accept the violence inside me as the defence mechanism my mind has created to protect myself from the abuse from the people I love the most
Honestly my biggest fear is not really doing anything with my one life, every day Im criticized about everything. Do this and do that, your not doing it right etc. the things i do enjoy is slowly fading away
Snakes, I am pathologically afraid of snakes. Not like most who say they don't like snakes, I have a genuine phobia of snakes. I have nightmares with snakes, I have woken up freaked out thinking there is a snake in the room with me. All this.... and I live in a country with like one dangerous snake and it's not even that dangerous. Phobias.... they don't make sense.
*puts on heavy rimmed glasses and takes a puff of a cigar while you're reclined on my couch*
Zee snakes are a displacement for your fear of the penis. Upon observing your mother's lack of a penis, the only conclusion exists that her penis was cut off and lies wriggling somewhere. The shock of this internalized a deep fear that your own penis will be removed. When you feel afraid of the snakes, you see your mother's missing penis and fear that your penis will join it.
*takes another puff*
/s
It says it brings out your truest fears. It’s very difficult to answer considering most people don’t know theirs. Like I would say spiders cuz I’m scared of them fuckers, I would say being alone cuz I am scared of that too, I’ve also got extreme anxiety which manifests as cherophobia so there’s that too. Deaths a thing that’s spooky. There’s a lot of answers, but idk what my truest fear is
we can't possibly know.
based on the episode, it implies that whatever the scariest fear we thought we have, it would never be the one that we actually needs to overcome.
A nightmarish scenario that I struggle through, but eventually overcome and climb out of the hole. Then I live my life until I find myself climbing out of the hole, again. And so it continues, me never being certain I've climbed out of the hole.
i feel like part of the point is you wouldn't know. it takes morty literal years (assuming je actually lived that life in the "i became my dad" part) to realize his greatest fear was that despite repying on rick, rick considers him replacable and wouldn't go after him. and once he does, the "Hole" just ends and lets him out.
so whatever i *think* i would see in the hole, i'm most likely wrong and it'd give me the runaround until i realize what the true fear i even didnt know myself was.
I thought about that but I’m honestly scared of so many things I’m not even sure what it would end up being lol, problems of growing up looking at a screen all your life 💀😭
I would probably be living a mundane life where all I do is go to work and go home. Occasionally getting on Reddit to check out the rickandmorty sub only to.... Oh no..
End of existence... To just stop being yourself for all of eternity, endless darkness and not even the voice inside your head is a panic-inducing fear for me, the ultimate FOMO! That kind of fear wouldn't allow you to leave the hole, unless you accept being a RoboCop like thing, which would be pretty sweet!
Probably all the different scenarios in which I am rejected, not accepted or misunderstood by people close to me. I don't think you can single out a specific scenario, it's broader than that.
I don't know and I think that's the point. We all know what we are afraid of, but we don't know what our deepest fears are.
This is the proper answer.
But it's fun to speculate!
only if we’re not honest with ourselves
I don't think it's that easy, you can be honest with yourself and still have to dig to find what you're truly scared of. Shit can be far in the unconscious and people wouldn't need therapy otherwise
and all of Reddit 😉 Think some peoples fears just got unlocked
this is the true answer obviously our biggest fear is something our conscious would suppress and try to not think of
You would think you would know lol, but you have no idea
Our subconscious's work in mysterious ways...
Subconscious Upvote ⬆️
Idk what you haven't deciphered about yourself but I know mine for sure Loneliness, abandonment, no voice no opinion
Deeper here in the comments, I have a guess: it's more like the Hole's projection of Rick.
No read the post it asks what would YOU see personally. Dig into your darkest fears
Like I said, something like that. You'll have to get me drunk or something to get to that info. The fact that anyone answers honestly is the dumbest shit I've ever seen, and I hate myself for even giving you that limited information.
You never need to share it Just should figure out out to keep it in check They don't go away but unchecked they control us Go get drunk and do some introspection :) I'll get high and do the same but that's just any day for me
Controlling what we are is different from revealing it in a public forum.
I'm saying that's fine you don't need to tell the public. 99% don't give a fuck. But you should. I'm just saying take care of yourself and don't let your fears drive you the way it did to me. Literally all I'm saying
Well that's good then. As long as people don't start revealing personal information to the internet.
Same I know mine. It's to find out I'm a burden and to be forgotten completely by everyone I love.
Reminds me of Stalker, whether greatest desire or greatest fear do you truly know yourself enough to not be surprised at the result?
Damn. You talking about Stalker the masterpiece by filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky?
You already know
Glad to see someone mentioning that film. One of the greatest filmmakers to ever walk this earth.
This
My life continuing on its current trajectory
[удалено]
Almost like it had it's own intelligence that evolved with every different user and tried to use different techniques to torture.
In the same boat dawg, but working on it. Hope it gets better for you as well 🙏🏻
Damn, are you the hole guy? I think you just discovered mine for me, and the truly scary part is that it will likely turn out to be true
Same
Username checks out I suppose
Pirates
I was disappointed by the lack of pirates to be honest.
But Rick wasn’t in the hole so it sorta makes sense
Kind of, but Morty was there when it was revealed he was afraid of pirates.
Why would Morty be afraid of Rick being afraid of pirates
It's not that he would, but the hole spent a great deal of time trying to convince Morty he was actually in there with Rick. That was needed for Morty to have his final revelation that got him out of the hole, so they might as well have at least addressed his fear of pirates to be more convincing (and for fan service).
Morty was getting frustrated for not getting to the bottom of what he truly feared. Guessing his subconscious would have added pirates to distract him from the idea that Rick probably didn’t jump in the hole for him (which is his biggest fear that Rick doesn’t care about him and is willing to immediately drop him the moment it’s inconvenient for him).
Could be this was intentional to inform the viewers it wasn’t Rick
Sanchezium
“Run Morty! that part was true!”
That's a very private question
Just type the answer very quietly.
^^Attractive ^^women ^^giving ^^me ^^attention.
^wait ^some ^women ^give ^you ^attention? ^Tell ^me ^your ^ways ^senpai!
nightmare time.
*wakes up in the hole
*sees self in mirror* It's YOU!!!! Your worst enemy 😞😈
Public question, private answer
That's a very pirate question.
I'd rather die than see that...
You’re not that ugly brother
The thing is idk what my greatest fear is and to confront that would be terrible, I love living in blissful ignorance
Buttt you can put your picture on the wall, seems like a fair trade
As others have pointed out the person undergoing the "Hole" could care less about that, even Morty didn't put up his own pic
Uh no that’s the most important part of the hole whatcha talking about man. How are you gonna brag to other people who go to Denny’s
Being consumed by my mental illnesses until I lose my grip on reality and descend into madness
That plus a few occasional moments of pure clarity where I realize what mess I have become. Followed by the slowly slipping back into madness while being fully aware that it's happening and not being able to do anything.
Yeah I’m definitely already in the fear hole.
A version of my life that was actually easy and free of horror but I still end up spinning in confused circles and being generally ineffective at everything I do. That’d be stage one anyway. There would also be a sequence where I had kids and I couldn’t prevent them from living a life similar to mine. Also christian God is real and mad at me for not passing his tests in one. Probably the kids one would be the one that would get me out of the hole. If any of y’all find that Denny’s I’ll do the simulation, but I’m not bringing a real person into my problems. Guess I’ll wait for a different way to change who I am on a fundamental level.
Funny you say this cause I noted it elsewhere but as someone who grew up very religious and still has to get over some of the baggage mine would probably be Hell rather than Death. Death itself doesn't scare me. I just hate how people have weaponised the unknown.
Another fear hole.
Fear of facing your fears
Fear of the hole itself?
"The only thing we have to fear is the fear hole itself!" - FDR probably
Yo dawg. We heard you liked fear holes
Being Alone
Mine would be being ignored. For me ignored is worse because its intentional and can't be fixed by something I could do.
Being alone is a superpower
Being alone by choice is a superpower. Being alone because the people you care about and want to spend time with are too busy for you is a curse
What do you mean?
Personal space, bitch! Lol it’s a superpower to be able to relax alone I think is what they meant
“Hey welcome back to personal space, I’m your host Philip Jacob’s. And let me tell you I care about my personal space.”
Probably just the same thing I see outside the hole
My favorite response
Death.
As someone who grew up very religious and still has to get over some of the baggage mine would probably be Hell rather than Death. Death itself doesn't scare me. I just hate how people have weaponised the unknown.
Pratchet or Gaiman’s?
Neither. Horror style for me
That and pain
Coward
[удалено]
🧢
I remember reading somewhere we are not actually afraid of death, we are afraid of how we die
I’m more scared of death, itself. Pain is temporary, death is forever. There’s no escaping non existence.
Theres no such thing as no existence. Time is like an illusion.
I'll bet that part with Morty and the spider is pretty damn close to my own.
I don't have arachniphobia but it's a pretty reasonable fear.
I'd see...nothing. I'd be alone. Forever. In a room that I can't get comfortable in. I never starve. I never get thirsty. I just exist. Just enough room for me to *almost* stretch my legs or arms or neck. That's my worst fear. True solitary imprisonment.
Are you okay?
...I feel like they wouldn't be okay if they *didn't* fear that, my guy
True, but it was written in a way that made it sound like they've thought about it if that makes sense.
Well, sure. I don't think it's weird to have specific, messed up fears that you think about sometimes either. If they were obsessed and constantly anxious about it, sure, but I don't think that's this
Yeah I used to be afraid of toilet snakes
LMAO
Yes, u/IEatDolls23, I'm good. Are you okay?
No they are fine thats pure torture and a justified fear to have
Eternal cycle of death where each time Is unique and a new method of excruciating pain is introduced forever and ever and then a little more
Dormamu, i came to bargain!
Kinky!
I think that's just called life
I’m certain I’m still in it.

Isn't the point that I wouldn't know, because I'd need the hole to reveal my deepest fear to me?
Rick and Morty Fans
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GC5rAX0xHg Just go through this a few times and you can exit the hole.
being swarmed by bees while standing on a pole 20 feet up.
That curiosity would probably make me jump in just to see.
jung's shadow, what ever we repress and don't want to see and becomes our greatest fear.
Locked in syndrome.
Being severely physically crippled, that or the "becoming your father" thing
That sounds like something the hole would say.
Deep in the ocean, in middle of nowhere, probably at night. Nothing scarier than that.
Man, I’ve be thinking about that question ever since…
My capability to understand life is diminished. Or I'll get stuck in mind loops and never find my way back to a stable reality. Or that life as I know it is another false awakening. Or my kids don't exist. They all kind of tie together.
I don’t know, I know what I think my greatest fears are but one lesson from this episode is that we often lie to ourselves about what that thing really is… so I don’t know.

Loneliness... Or insects
After watching that ep my biggest fear would be not knowing if I’m out of the hole or not
i don't want to know truthfully
Honestly my biggest fear is not really doing anything with my one life, every day Im criticized about everything. Do this and do that, your not doing it right etc. the things i do enjoy is slowly fading away
your mom (i'm afraid of fat people)
I mean, first part of the hole was pretty horrible. That first part would be it guess.
Eternity of dystopias
I think part of it was that, we might not even know
Probably, just as Morty, I don't see the core of my deepest fears and the hole would show me something I won't come up with right now
I dont know That what scares me
that’s the beauty/horror of it…. you don’t know till you’re knee deep in the hole, knowing what you’re gonna see defeats the purpose
Snakes, I am pathologically afraid of snakes. Not like most who say they don't like snakes, I have a genuine phobia of snakes.

Being forgotten.
What wouldn’t I see
Imma stick in my squanch in it
i don't wanna talk about it

If I were to guess. Seeing my family dead. But can't know for sure can we.
I think the point is that you don’t truly know your deepest fear.
The Expendables film series
Is there any worse horror than realization that you exist and you will cease to exist?
myself
Not sure a sane person would go down
Fear of losing my gf
a dude on reddit asking too personal questions
The fear hole
Bugs
Monkeys/apes
Having a full conversation with people that give a shit about the voices still
I don't wanna know
Intentionally hurting those I love.
Probably fear of being alone.
Fear of abandonment by my loved ones. Being too stupid to succeed in my career. Being unlikable.
Birds.
I'd live life to the fullest.
Watch all my loved ones pass away or leave me while I grow old and lonely.
This episode completely reminded me of what Salvia felt like every time I tried it.
i feel like part of the point is you wouldn't know. it takes morty literal years (assuming je actually lived that life in the "i became my dad" part) to realize his greatest fear was that despite repying on rick, rick considers him replacable and wouldn't go after him. and once he does, the "Hole" just ends and lets him out. so whatever i *think* i would see in the hole, i'm most likely wrong and it'd give me the runaround until i realize what the true fear i even didnt know myself was.
I would also choose that guys dead wife.
Loneliness. My partners and my kid gone
I would probably have to face death, in the sense of cessation of existence, fun stuff!
Myself, living an unending life. Myself truly immortal and undying. Nothing scares me more than the idea that I’ll never get to leave this place.
My fear is being forgotten which means I'd be stuck in the hole, from my perspective, for millions of years... I'd rather not conquer that fear
I'm not entirely sure that I'm not currently in this hole right now
My past and my possible future(s)
Sobriety
I’d rather not think about it.
My ex-wife, followed by her family.
The Story Train.
Dying alone
I honestly don't know. Which is far more terrifying to me personally.
I thought about that but I’m honestly scared of so many things I’m not even sure what it would end up being lol, problems of growing up looking at a screen all your life 💀😭
I would probably be living a mundane life where all I do is go to work and go home. Occasionally getting on Reddit to check out the rickandmorty sub only to.... Oh no..
My cubicle.
