general What are you most afraid of?

[Scootaloo Is Best Filly 578]

I have so many fears and worries.

wars- I have been afraid of wars breaking out for years.

my health- I am like one of the unhealthiest people on the planet and I am worried about getting really sick and dying.

 

the fear of rejection: I am so worried about being rejected. That has been one of my fears since for as long as I can remember. It has stopped me from meeting new people because I am worried that I would get rejected before even giving myself a shot.

Actually, my biggest fear is terrorism. Thankfully my city is kinda small and it use to be calm, but I'm afraid if there could be a terrorist attack. I hope not.

Apart of that, another fear I have is living without my parents nor friends. Certainly, I'm close with my parents, and I don't want to live without them, but I know I have to someday.

As someone who experiences a lot of anxiety, people scare me the most. Or I guess I should say interaction with people .\^/.

Also scared of dying alone, but I’m socially reclusive so I feel like it’ll happen anyway : (

I am not afraid of war nor diseases, for they would only shift the directions and meanings of my goals. Not really afraid of being alone either, (as in having a love partner) since that is exactly what I want. Death is of no concern to me either, mainly because only period in time I would be concerned about it would be at the time of my death, which will be relatively painless and swift if everything will be as I have pictured it. To top it off, I have no phobias either that I would know of, I think tight/high places are exciting, love the deep sea, (think spiders are adorable ) etcetera. Now, I am not saying that I am absolutely fearless and phobia free since that would be silly, but I have gone through extensive lists and tested plenty of them personally without any noticeable effect so I can only assume this until proven otherwise.

All my life I have practiced "keeping my head above humanity", (Yeah...sounds like something arrogant, does it? Should probably find a better name for it.) meaning that I practice closing off all emotions regarding others and at times myself. This way I am not afraid because I don't expect or want anything from others nor fear for my own physical or mental harm, but rather just push through and mechanically follow my given directives while still avoiding to use others as stepping stones. This is rather simple to achieve, really. It works by having a one hundred percent objective view on things and setting a larger image on a pedestal that outshines any mortal worry, was it the goals of the corporation I work for or something else that is similar in nature. Just something that is bigger and has more value than me and the people around me. (One human is statistically estimated to be between 7-10 million USD and thus I make decisions according to that chart). I guess it all really boils down to me feeling safe when I am a kind of a "tool" for something bigger and wiser, when I don't have to worry about myself and others.

All things considered, as long as you put as much emphasis as possible on objectivity in your life a lot of fears tend to crumble away like dry clay. Only thing that I am worried about as of date and time would probably be NASA and SpaceX both rejecting me after I have finished with the army and filled out the other requirements such as gaining job experience in biological science beforehand. They only take about half of the applicants in but eh, if that happens I will just stick to myrmecology.

Best answer I've gotten so far! Reach for the stars fellow space lover! 

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,730]

Above all else, death. It terrifies me and as a result, I am also very scared of potentially fatal things like bad diseases. I have a background worry in my mind of getting some terrible disease and it scares me. 

I also don't like heights, dark places, crowds of people, and I have a noticable fear of poverty. That is why I try to live within my means to the best of my ability, for what it is worth. Having anxiety sucks.

I agree completely. If anxiety were a person I would roast them figuratively and then literally. 

[BritishBrony2012 823]

Not knowing what will happen in the future, sometimes. And The dark/Ghosts.

[SolarFlare13 16,099]

Bees ....and spiders (as well as cockroaches crawling in my room at night ) UGH!!!  I'm TERRIFIED of them!!! 

[Luminance 2,186]

Disappointing others due to my short comings.

[ShadowPhoenix 153]

Dying with regrets. Dying without having properly experienced true bliss.

[Spilight98 166]

I'm afraid of the future.

I'm worried if i can find my place in the world,  if i can find a good job, a good wife and just in general be happy.

Because honestly at the moment I have no idea what I should do with my life. I haven't really accomplished anything yet

[Steve Piranha 29,432]

My greatest fear would be living with a crippling depression again. Lived with that shit for OVER A DECADE, and that's something I don't want lurking it's ugly head again . Hell, living single for the rest of my life sounds like a blast if it means avoiding it altogether . 

I'm afraid of slums and criminals as well, but now, where I live at least, I can fight back. In fact, at times I'm looking forward to being assaulted just to get an excuse to beat some bastard really badly

I know those feelings. 

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,162]

Oddly enough; abandonment. I can't say way as I'm typically a friendly loner in general (especially growing up), but the feeling of just outright being abandoned/exiled/what have you really gets to me.

[Kings&Hooves14 616]

What am I not afraid of? 
In no particular order:

1. losing people I love

2. earthquakes

3. tornadoes 

4. sinkholes 

5. germs

6. spiders

7. insects

8. dogs

9. Hell

10. nuclear war

11. spiders

12. having a heart attack, a cerebral hemorrhage, etc.

13. demonic possession

14. Donald Trump

15. communism 

16. social interaction

17. SPIDERS

18. volcanoes 

Yes, I know that some of these fears are irrational--doesn't change anything.

[Victoria Sponge 1,017]

Failure, I'm always worried I'm gonna mess something up and end up alone and on the streets unable to achieve any of my life goals. It's probably unlikely that that would happen to me but it's probably the thing I fear the most.

YES. I know that fear so much! Especially ending up on the street part. 

[Lucky Bolt 35,085]

What am I most afraid of? This, right here:

*shudders* Just posting this picture was painful 

But besides Jimmie Johnson crashing, I'm also afraid of being alone in the dark, open closets in a dark room, and doctors and doctor offices (I just get really nervous and anxious around doctors, after bad memories of doctors as a little kid) 

[Angle Alastor 3,805]

spiders , clowns , being lost  (terrible at directions )  thats about it......but mostly creepy clowns <.<

I agree that having anxiety sucks.

Yeah, disappointing others is one of the reasons why I haven't gotten around to publishing my fan fiction

I bet that's something everyone fears. Heck, some people believe the reason ghosts can appear is because the regrets they had in life bound their soul to this world, unable to move on, a fate worse than death.

You and me both, brother or sister!

That's why I relate to Zephyr Breeze. "Failing is the worst" He says.

[Magic Note 2,749]

Anxiety is the worst fear I have, by far. War and violence is another fear I have, especially the latter because of having heard of violent incidents within my family (someone in my sister's family and my now-deceased uncle).

[RavenholmZombie 1,330]

War: I think the fear of war is something that we all have (unless you're bloodthirsty or profit from it). For me, I fear World War III and its most likely inevitable escalation towards a global thermonuclear war, something that would destroy civilization and potentially lead to the extinction of our species.

Economic Collapse: I know this sounds weird, but I fear our economy collapsing because of the serious civil unrest it'll cause and the potential of that unrest reaching my doorstep with its guns blazing and mouth roaring.

Disease: I fear getting seriously ill, I do not have health insurance (Yay U.S.A...), and getting seriously ill could thrust decades of financial suffering upon my family.

Death: Despite me being non-religious, I do fear death because of the uncertainty of what lies beyond life. I also fear dying because it'll rip me from my friends and family, most likely without even giving me a chance to say goodbye.

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

I'm most afraid of social interaction, (only in IRL) my nightmares, my hallucinations, my parents, my school and spiders.
