Your biggest fears in life?

My biggest fear ever is me coming out to my parents and getting a bad response. I doubt that's gonna happen because I give them subtle hints all the time and they never really say there's anything wrong with being gay/bisexual. A few months ago I asked my mum her opinion on Alan Carr and his campiness; she said "I find him funny. Just because he's gay and camp doesn't mean he's a bad person". That made me feel really good but I was still confused back then so I didn't say anything.

 

Biggest fears...

My confidence issues give me an irrational fear of failure to the point where it's hard for me to even muster up the enthusiasm to bother trying most of the time. Does that count?

Beyond that I have a fear of heights and a fear of bees.

Oh and I have religious based nightmares a lot. I think I've dreamed about hell more times than most people think about it in general -.-'

 

Failure. Always has been, always will be.

And a fear of stagnation in my life. One of my worst fears is being stuck doing something I hate with someone I don't like in a place I'm bored with with no reason to live.

 

This! Seriously this! I've been there and it's awful -.-'

 

My biggest fear in life would be going unrecognized everywhere. Even if it's among a certain group of people, I want recognition for something I love doing, which is difficult but not impossible.

 

Religious psychopaths turning this nation into a fascist theocracy

And heights....I don't like heights

 

in general, the unknown is scary for me >.>

 

Ending up alone.

 

Death. It's an inevitability, but the thought of simply ceasing to exist is rather scary. There's no wonder people cling to the idea of an afterlife (I'd be going to hell anyway, since I already told the Holy Spirit to f*ck off).

 

same here

 

Failure and not being liked/accepted by people which is closely linked to the first one, really.

 

Why so?

I fear alot of things but usually the only one that's relevant is failure.

 

My kids dying before me.
Not being good enough.

 

Probably because nonexistence is a difficult concept for humans to understand. One moment you exist, and the next you don't. You're gone as quickly as you appeared. The world continues as if you never existed. I admire people who come to terms with death, and aren't bothered by the prospect of eventual death, but it's probably something I'll never be okay with. It's going to happen eventually, but I wish it wouldn't.

Saying that, my fear of death isn't anywhere near as bad as it used to be. When I was a little kid, I worried constantly about dying. Not a day went by when I didn't think about death, or ways that I might die, or whether my mother was going to die, or whether a nuclear war was about to happen. I actually recall phoning the doctors in tears because I genuinely thought I was about to die from a disease* that I can't recall the name of (I must have been 8 or 9).

*I'm a bit of a hypochondriac too.

 

Mine would be waking up one morning 20 years from now, and realizing that I didn't live my life the way I wanted to. Which is why I always tend to make decisions based on what's best for me

 

Failure and rejection

 

Not making my life worth living because of fear, shy, doubt and then blaming myself for that. Loving someone too much when in fact they don't feel the same. Doing/working everything all you've got day in and out yet then in the end they all be blaming you and suspect you for something you didn't even do. What hurts about this though is that I experienced all of them and somehow surpass it. I just don't want it to happen all over again cause I feared I won't be able to bear it the second time around.

The fear of the unknown, rejection and failure. I guess everybody fears the same.

 

My main fear is failure. Im coming to the end of my undergraduate degree currently. And it's possibly the scariest and most exciting scenario I've been in for a while. I'm desperate for the grade I want, and after all the effort I've put in these past 3 years I'll be gutted if I miss out. My other biggest fear is life after uni and struggling to find a decent job. Ah! It'll be fine though I'm sure, I'm remaining positive.
