Hey guys, I thought about starting this for no particular reason. What are you guys afraid of? On my side, I think my worst fear is being completely helpless, unable to act.

Now, to, elaborate. I was a wimpy kid, bullied through elementary school. Not to the extent some others are bullied but still. Anyhow, this went on until I learned to fight back, a crucial but slow way that made me the awesome guy I am now. Of course, I had my regular fears growing up. For a while I was very afraid of spiders, small closed spaces ( got locked in a closet once) and storms. But I always got the best of those by fighting back. When I was older my adult (kind of) fear emerged when some guy got into our house while we were still inside. I kept my head on (while being 13-14 mind you) and nothing specially horrible happened, but I was still shaken. Before that I had been in martial arts but it was only after that even that I got into them seriously. That has always been my position towards fear, fight back, get angry.

So, naturally the only thing I am afraid now is getting into a situation of position where there is nothing I could even attempt to do to face it. My worst fear is having the people I care about, or myself, in danger and being unable to fight back.

Worst fear...probably finding out that I have a serious mental disorder of some kind.

Either:

Something I can't injure or kill (Like a ghost, vampire or someone in armour) or Locked-In Syndrome.

If I'm completely honest? Being average.

The idea of being just another worthless, no-account office worker with a grey suit, a grey German car and a grey soul horrifies me.

Contracting a terminal disease.

That, or having to go through an invasive medical procedure with no anesthetic. Came close to suffering that this last Friday - not quite, but too close for my comfort - and that was more than enough to send me into an anxiety attack.

Snakes. I'm just utterly petrified by snakes.

And Tornadoes. Much worse then snakes because at least a snake is just trying to protect itself, tornadoes are just spiraling towers of death.

@Jones

Uh... I wouldn't call such a person "worthless". Who defines what worth is?

My worst fear... well, I'm afraid of a lot of things. But the worst one? Probably being a (sex)slave or something like that. I wouldn't want to be quadriplegic either (even though I respect people who manage to live that way). Or buried alive? There are a lot of horrifying things. -__-

Well, I'm sure they could be ground up and used for fertiliser or something.

My turds are worth more than them. At least they don't even have to be ground up.

Well, as a break from the stimulating conversation above[up][up], my worst fear is having a complete indifference to life in general, that I will never feel like my life was worth anything.

[down][down] You know I completely forgot about my sig. line and avatar.

@Odie

Depends on the person. I'm pretty sure quite a few people think the life of a writer is dull and uninteresting. Same with other jobs.

The possibility of hurting someone I love terrifies me.

Also, the thought of dying alone keeps me awake at night. Like today for example.

Non-egoistical fears are allowed too? Well, then I choose... anything bad happening to my girlfriend. The mere thought makes me depressed.

Myself.

I know what I'm capable of and I fear I'll loose my sanity and do something really really bad.

Amusingly, fearing that probably hurts my sanity. Oh great.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
