how could I not understand that? that’s not even analysis or thinking deeply, that’s literally just stated in the podcast. Going with other Fears COULD have worked, because “the fear of being different from others around you” can fit into so many different Fears depending on the nuance - from The Corruption to The Stranger to The Eye, and definitely others. Could also very much apply to “the fear that no-one will understand you.” that could so easily apply to even, like, The Dark, or The Eye or The Spiral/Stranger with just a little rejigging. Neither of those ideas are at all unique or particularly special - literally everyone feels like that - so obviously they’re going to be a facet of multiple different Fears.
