What is your biggest fear??

I can't choose between three:
Falling
Not being able to breath / suffocating
and Failing at any thing / letting myself and other
people down (I know the last one sounds kind of stupid)

Being forced to live a lie.

**Lexington** · 19th Nov 2008, 03:47 PM

Not living up to my own expectations.

...grasshoppers are kinda icky, too.

Death.

**EM68** · 19th Nov 2008, 03:58 PM

Losing my family's love once I come out to them.

**Martin** · 19th Nov 2008, 03:59 PM

Heights and Snakes. I have quite a list, but those two dominate.

Closely followed by needles. :\

Dying without having accomplished anything. I use "accomplish" very vaguely here - as long as my life has some sort of impact on someone else's, I will consider it a success.

19th Nov 2008, 04:17 PM

Losing control over my body/not being able to run

Malls, Ikea's are the worst though, there is something about there being so many different products that people want you to buy but also so much of the same thing, and the massive amounts of people...
I hate shopping so much. My mom (who works with kids who gros motor development is not where is should be, and helps diagnose them with whatever...) says I definitely get very diagnosable in malls...
Also, I really like small spaces when I'm alone, but if you double the space and the number of people (from just me to me and another person), it becomes very unbearable and stressful so I can be claustrophobic when there are other people, but when I'm alone I love small spaces. Big spaces on the other hand, when it's a building that is not my house, when I'm alone, I don't like it very much, mostly because I am also scared of being in the wrong place/at the wrong time so if there is another person or two (or more depending on the size of space)... But again, too many people in any space is not good...

-Mannequins and puppets
-Suffocation or drowning

Danniluv · 19th Nov 2008, 04:47 PM

Loss of self.

Oh, and probably serial killers too.

Behling · 19th Nov 2008, 04:47 PM

My 2 biggest fears are pain and being totally alone for the rest of my life

Amy · 19th Nov 2008, 04:59 PM

My two biggest fears have to be a) pain and b) being trapped under water in some way or another.

MLCarr · 19th Nov 2008, 05:04 PM

My greatest fear is by far failure. A few others: drowning, heights, riding a horse...

19th Nov 2008, 05:24 PM

My biggest fears are pain (physical or emotional) and the fear of never losing consciousness (reincarnation)

MusicIsLife · 19th Nov 2008, 06:14 PM

Spiders
Moths
Enclosed spaces
Losing limbs
death
the list goes on and on... Im not afraid of rats or mice or snakes or any of that, i think they're kinda cute....

Hoppip · 19th Nov 2008, 06:39 PM

I fear probability, or more specifically, bad luck. I just know that I'm going to trip on that uneven sidewalk, right when my hands are stuck in my pockets, and my face will collide with the ground and my skull with crack. I just know that when I get on that elevator, some cord is going to snap and I'll be stranded with nobody to hear me scream. And I just know that right as I decide to get on that roller coaster, a wire will snap and the brakes will cease to work, and I'll go flying to my death.

Yeah... I fear bad luck, I guess.

Adam · 19th Nov 2008, 07:46 PM

Death
Coming Out
Being alone
