I care so paranoid about what people think about me that I'm concerned someone will post something negative about me on social media in the near future and the world will literally end. I know it's 100% irrational but I can't stop thinking about it. What do?
I don't know what to tell you bro. have something to drink.

It's irrational that I believe a negative post about me will be utter devastation and apocalyptic, but for some reason I can't fucking stop thinking about it.
I feel you. One of my worst fears is having an embarassing video or picture of me go viral and I become a meme. Not a loved meme, like a pathetic meme that's the laughing stock of the internet.

I love your fear. I love the existencialism and absurdism you assign to it in order to cope.
I once thought something similar while trying to kill myself by lack of sleep. "If I fall asleep in this place that is improper to sleep, too much sun and too much wind, I'm sure to get sick and die, because this lack of sleep also makes my body very frail to any pathogens"
But it didn't happen, I had panic attacks everytime and took some showers and started sleeping at the right time every night.
Still don't sleep all that well, but it's better than it was back then.

I love it for the same reasons as well, but you're saying the absurdity of the fear is a coping mechanism? Never thought of it that way.

I also have this feel, best advice is to get the fuck off social media
I'm personally terrified that at some point in my life I was permanently scarred by an event that I then repressed so hard I am completely clueless to its existence simply to preserve my sanity
And one day it will hit me and all flood back in, then I'll probably kill myself from the grief
I don't fucking know what it could be, if its anything at all

You have some sort of anxiety disorder.

Yeah. Even if the fear was more rational, like say fear of burglars, it would still have an existential pitch to it, because it relates to your own existence, to it being so very vulnerable to the wills of other, and even then it wouldn't be all that rational if you looked at statistics for burglary at your home.
Yours is just more creative, because it deals with something more abstract, your social things.
I once thought things like "the world only tends to get more and more complicated in the terms of mental illnesses, as time goes on" and I thought it terrible. And "mental illnesses immunity themselves against treatment, as a self-defense mechanism of the identity." And I tried to imagine how this all would end and got really creative in a "world end" scenario, but the truth is you can't know.
