Certainly not meaning to be offensive, but do you do anything to better the situation, mostly as in seeking help?

I take meds. That's about it. Anything else is up in the air because of my limited transportation. Not that I'm worth anything in the first place.

[Here No Longer 5,270]

I'd also mention my fears about my own future, but I've done that enough times. I'll just say that I'm afraid that my situation will get worse than it already is.

What scare me is how I'm always right about  it's gonna suck.

[Octavia Heartstrings 28,396]

Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

I used to worry a lot that I wouldn't have friends in the future. I still worry about it, but I've mostly accepted the fact that I'll probably grow old and die alone by this point. I guess now I'm just scared about how being by myself nearly 24/7 is going to affect me as a person. In my career path, it's entirely possible to have literally zero coworkers.

What's your city again/how large is it?

He lives in Indiana. If you don't have a car you're out of luck because most of Indiana lacks public transit. Even Indianapolis only has buses and ranks as one of the worst cities in terms of walkability.

Here are a few things that I fear about the future:

1) Since I'm a Christian that believes in heaven and hell, I fear that I might end up going to hell after I die.

2) I fear that I might never find my purpose in life, or that I will never have any purpose in my life.

3) I fear that depression and anxiety have permanently scarred me emotionally, and that it will prevent me from fully and deeply experiencing happiness and good emotions.

4) I fear that my loneliness will never go away.

The health of my best friend.

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

A close loved one dying. Or the transmission in my truck going out. 

[Twilight Luna 30,917]

It frightens me that one day my parents won't be around anymore.

[Splashee 28,537]

Uncertainty.

 

While being happy at the moment, one little thing can change so much in life.

"Only two things scare me, and one is nuclear war."

Any one catch the reference? 

On a serious note I used to believe in the common sense of humanity. The past few years have shown that belief to be held in error. Seeing how fast america can devolve into autocracy and madness other countries could too.  It only takes 2 crazies to decide to see whos dick is bigger or who said something about the others mom and boom nuclear fallout. 

[Pastel Heart 6,463]

The only thing that really scares me is being left behind. I barely recognize the world as it is now.

I'm totally gonna be those "back in my days" kinda old peeps. I used to make fun of them but I'm becoming them now.

[Bastian 13,319]

One thing I fear is global warming and drastic weather changes for the future, if it comes though, I'll live with it.

And an example of this is the COVID-19 situation. We have no idea how hard it will hit. I can't believe I was living in such bliss 2 months ago!

[Oblivion 20,265]

Not knowing how or when I will die bothers me as I am terrified of death! 

[Le Trotteur Sauvage 13,049]

I'm actually very afraid of the global warming. I know it's some kind of debate in the US but in Europe everybody knows it's the worst thing that waiting upon us to crush us 

So go green 

[Steel Accord 6,658]

Not much honestly. I'm hopeful for the future. Anyone who knows history can tell that the human race has been on a steady up-tick with plagues, cultural collapse, and world wars only delaying that.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,737]

My greatest fear is that one day the people I care about in my life won't be there for me anymore and it kills me thinking about it.

• I'm not really a Christian but I'm still afraid of going to hell
• World global digitalisation means that everything will be hackable. Once we invent bionic in-brain phones like in sci-fi films, we will never safe again
• One day my parents will pass out

This is one of the biggest reasons why I would never get cyber body parts. Hack into my always-online Inspector Gadget robo arm and make it punch me in the face repeatedly? (go-go gadget facepunch!) No thank you. It's bad enough that people can hack self-driving cars and murder the occupants.

Same.  I think it’s all the years I went to church as a kid being taught that if I didn’t believe in God I’d burn in hell for all eternity.
 

 I don’t believe in God, but the fear still lingers in the back of my head.  I think “Maybe I should believe.  Just in case....”

5G.

 

It will be the end of the world (if Corona doesn't get us first)

[Treeglow Flicker 12,973]

The potential of my life ending because of somebody elses stupidity.

He used to be the one scaring me of the future:

 

Now, it is an orange guy, but somehow, not as frightening
