Autism
What the Internet thinks: A disease that makes you permanently retarded.
Reality: A disorder of the brain present at or shortly after birth that makes socializing more difficult. People with autism appear to be socially awkward and tend to get overwhelmed easily (See "Sensory Overload). As tempting as it may be to poke fun at them, that is exactly what you SHOULDN'T do. All they want to be validated and understood by other people.
Being a disorder that affects the brain, there is no way to "fix" autism. But we don't need to. You can still live a normal, possibly highly successful life with autism. Many famous scientists were autistic, and even some singers such as Marty Balin of Jefferson Airplane were autistic.

The only people who can understand autism are those who have autism.

Boogadaba
Vanoss: How about we do Hot and Cold, but instead when we're close, you say "Boogadaba" increasingly fast?
Wildcat: Boogadaba....Boogadaba....No more boogadaba.
*Terroriser finds Wildcat*
Wildcat: AHHHHH! *Spams Boogadaba as fast as possible*

Take it to Heart
On the morning after Taylor and Carl's acrimonious break-up, Taylor felt terrible for her downright venomous attitude towards Carl and hoped that he didn't take it to heart. But alas, he did; that morning, he was found dead in an apparent suicide.

Second-Hand Embarrassment
When you cringe while watching people embarrassing/publicly humiliating themselves, especially when they DON'T deserve it. People who suffer from this are generally empaths, or they may suffer from severe social anxiety.
"I tried to tell my friends that Dave couldn't dance, but they forced him to anyway. I got second-hand embarrassment in the worst way while watching him. By the time I pulled him out, his face was the deepest shade of red imaginable, and it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he was trying not to cry from embarrassment. We haven't been on speaking terms with those "friends" since that incident."
Moral of the story: Don't force people to do things they're not comfortable with, especially under protest. It may be funny to you, but you've gotta think of other people.

Why Are We Still Here...Just to Suffer
What the people of Cuba think as America ignores their pleas not to do what Fidel Castro did to them.
Cuba: *Gets rekt by socialism*
Also Cuba: "Don't do it. Don't let Creepy Joe bring your country down to our level."
America: *Elects Creepy Joe*
Cuba: "Why are we still here...just to suffer....every night...."

Nyctophobia
An extreme fear of darkness. It is believed to be caused by the brain's imagination running wild, causing an overly enhanced perception of what nightmarish things may be lurking in the shadows. As such, it is common in overthinkers.
*Knocking*
"Who the hell knocks on someone's door at 12AM?! Can you go see who it is?"
"N-no...."
"Why not?"
"I-I have nyctophobia..."
"Oh, come on. Man up. Nothing's gonna hap-"
"THERE'S DEMONS IN THE DARKNESS! THEY'RE WAITING TO AMBUSH ME!"
"OK, I'll go. But first thing in the morning, you're seeing a therapist."
