What is your greatest fear?

Being lost in space in only a space suit, slowly suffocating, starving and dehydrating.

Or that some people are right and I am a heartless, selfish, uptight, self catering, elitist prat

 

Failure.

 

This is old, tired and clichéd, but my greatest fear is living and dying alone. I am a guy who likes my own space, but I cannot think anything worse than spending my last few years living in poverty, with nobody to talk to, nobody to come home to after a trip to the supermarket, nobody to share memories with.

So yeah, loneliness.

 

I was actually going to make a similar thread.

My worst nightmare is staying in a hospital bedridden for a number of days.
Being helpless, weak. And having to pee and shit into a diaper to be changed by some nurse.

I'd probably beg for death if I was in that situation (which is a reason why I don't want bottom surgery, which requires you to stay in the hospital).


Basically I have a horrible fear of helplessness/weakness.

Another thing is, I have a fear of getting my identity stolen.. Someone masquerading as me.

 

Well since spiders dont count I would have to say growing up with regret.

 

death, loneliness, torture, and needles (legitimate phobia of them not a "oh no i dont like shots a bloo bloo")

 

My greatest fear is never coming out and then looking back as an old man and regretting my entire life. Deep down I feel like that's almost inevitable and that scares the shit out of me.

 

That I'm fundamentally wrong. That everything I know, the morality I do my best to upkeep, is irreparably flawed.

 

That no matter what I do, no one will appreciate me and love me. That I will an uninteresting, socially awkward loser that no one wants to hang out with and that will live and die alone.

 

Nothing. I have faith in God. I have nothing to fear, plus some things happen that are out of our control

 

Rejection.
I fear that even though I may try to please everyone that I see, they won't appreciate it or they might just take it for granted. Then, they might just stop seeing me at all whether for myself or even having me there in sight. I feel like I would have nothing to really live for if that were the case. If everybody just didn't need me around or even have the desire to want me around despite my flaws. Instead, it would be just be rejection for everything.
Of course, I'd also hate to be denied of something. Huh.

 

The thought of me ending up on my death bed thinking back on my life and realizing that my life was dull and average.

 

It's odd...my greatest fear is also my greatest motivator: failure. It creeps in on me once in a while.

 

That my dreams are far-fetched and unfeasible; that I'm wasting my time and my loved ones' time trying to achieve them.

 

Waking up in the hospital after a suicide attempt.

It's happened before :/

 

There's a lot of fear of failure going on in this thread, I suppose I'll just be another.

 

That I am important.

 

I have so many. I think the biggest ones are losing all of the people I love and looking back on my life when I'm old and feeling like I didn't live it to the fullest. I'm also afraid of losing myself - earlier this year, I was at one of the lowest points in my life. Since then, I've been in recovery but I'm terrified to go back to that place in my life.

 

That I am going to be alone forever and just live life going through the motions without fully connecting with someone also that I will feel lost forever.
