Me and a a bunch of my friends where talking about our fears in a chat room. What kind of fears we have and realized how much we have in common.
But my question for you is....
What are your fears?
I won't judge you because I have some weird ones myself.

The dark. I am afraid of the dark. Not exactly being in the dark, but being alone in the dark and not knowing what could be hiding in the dark. You know? Like things out to get me. Like spiders. Or lizards. Or bugs. It's also the feeling that I lost one of my senses, you know? Ahh, I don't know. Can't explain it well enough, but I suppose I've gotten my point across.

I die every time there is a blackout... at night, especially.

>>2 I understand perfectly. I am the same way. Not knowing what could come out of the darkness.
It's also a fear of the unknown. You never know what's going to happen. I'm the same way. You're not alone.

This thread is a duplicate, the original is in the random board.

I'm afraid of a lot of things. I'm slightly paranoid and have an overactive imagination so that just comes with the territory. However, there are two things that truly frighten me. The first is that I'll die without doing as much good as I could possibly do. To die with regrets, knowing that I could have done more. The second, is that I will hurt the people I love, or that I will let them down in some way that will cause them harm in even the slightest possible manner. I know myself, and I know that if I don't constantly keep check of my mind I could do some very bad things. That's what terrifies me the most...

Although I was part of that original chat, might as well say them again. My biggest fear is getting in trouble. I don't know why, but I've always become panicky when I think that something I'm doing is "against the rules." This is my one fear that I'd like to get rid of. It really stops me from doing a lot of things.

I am also afraid of being alone in a crowd. When I'm surrounded by unfamiliar faces, I grow panicked, and immediately begin searching for someone I know. Strangely enough, I'm fine when I'm alone by myself. It's only when I'm around people I don't know that I am scared.

And finally, I'm scared of heights. I think that's self explanatory. :)

>>6 Holy crap. I'm all of these for the exact same reasons.

That and going underwater. At least without a mask. This is linked to a childhood incident...

And I'm also afraid of pain... Nothing in particular. Just anything that's painful. It's not just that I'm worried about it or don't like it, I'm genuinely terrified of it.

Afraid of being alone that's why I made living things. But jokes aside, i actually afraid of being alone and to die not knowing I died.

I fear I'll never find my special someone, that I'll never have someone to be with me when I'm happy & hold me when I'm sad. I fear dying alone, only being held by the hands of Death. I may only be 19, but I've never experienced (romantic) love. I fear I might never experience it...

I'm feared about judgments. I'm seriously feared about making a bad impression and gossip stuff about me or other people really drives me off. Also high speeds and grasshoppers are big scary monsters to me. e___e

I'm the most afraid of losing one of my senses. If I lost my eyes or hands, I wouldn't be able to write or draw anymore. Or if I lost my Mom. I am also afraid that I might die the next day. And parasites are horrifying. I have too many fears...

My fear is being alone and another is the alice madness returns

i fear big spiders...........and small spiders, dolls, most kind of bugs.... and for some reason butterflies =.=

My biggest fear is to be alone, and all types of bugs, and to be weak with zero confidence.

My overall fear is fear itself. I fear to live in a world- a universe, succumbed by the fear of pain and suffering holstered by none other than death and paranoia itself. Where madness and chaos- and though they are both needed to balance on the scale adjacent to the weight of harmony- have tipped to the breaking point, flooding the world, and drenching it in a never-ending cycle of pure odium throughout our hearts, and where our overwhelming trepidation for the hopes of equilibrium are no more.

Also drowning, I guess.

My fears?
Hmm..
Spiders... *shudders*
Getting my throat slit.
Being stalked and brutally murdered by someone.
I suppose torture would be kinda terrible.
Being alone inside a mansion, or perhaps simply a big house.
Someone suddenly touching me. Not so much a poke, but a firm grab without warning.
Abandonment, or just someone remotely close, leaving me.
Witnessing the murder of a loved one, or anyone for that matter.
Wow... I have a lot of fears.. I should just become a recluse ^^

Also, when people find out that I'm ticklish. I forgot to add that.

being left alone ... in the dark where people watch me .. kinda like ghost .. I guess .. im scared that nobody will ever understand me..and some personal fears ..

being alone or being afaird of hights is human nature we fear death it self so anything that leads to death makes us scared
there are also fears about whazt other people think of you or what they will say. They are bad because it alos could lead to people killing them self.
am scard of hights and clowns (watched scary movie when kid about clowns). also runing out of air underwater (drowning0

things I fear:

Poltergeist or anything that's related to demons and/or evil

spiders

being alone

but the one thing I fear the most is that god will look down on me. I dn't want him to think im not good enough.

>>21 It is okay you are good enough to be my slave.

- being unsuccessful in life and not being able to provide for myself
- thunderstorms(when I am alone)
- being alone
- I'll go out of control one day and actually kill myself

As weird as It is I'm afraid everyday when I wake up of change but, not the normal kind of change. I'm afraid of change in myself. I feel that if I change I wont be me..like I wont be the girl who is sitting here typing this. I will learn something new or see something different causing me to be a different person. This makes me go a little crazy sometimes because how can you unlearn things and change yourself to who you were in the past? You cant.....I have a weird fear :P

One word ........ Seaweed

I fear that the misguided sheep may never find there way home...

Crying.

(someone can explain me how to quote other people threads? )

Kisa, that's one deep fear.

>>28 (copy & paste there quote, then put " at the beginning & end of it)

I fear I'll end up being that guy that's in love w/ more anime chicks more then real chicks. (ROTFL)

I fear that I'll be stuck in the same cycle over and over again. I like change. More of a psychological thing, though.

I fear that one day my efforts on the Anti-suicide won't be enough... I hope that's a fear that never becomes reality.

Touching anything. Utterly. Anything.
I can't stand it. Even typing this feels disgusting to me. I'm terrified of the fact that every time I come into contact with something, foreign microorganisms and bacteria are making themselves at home on my body.
But I still do it, because I don't have much of choice. I have to clean my hands every few minutes to feel safe, but it's better than nothing.
I feel bad admitting this, since there are people in third world countries drinking water infested with disease. I'm so lucky to live in this country.
Wow this is the dumbest fear ever.

i don't have any particular fears. but a neurotic tingling inside that tells me "you are wrong, and everyone knows it" it's just terrible, and i feel it everyday.

I have no clue what most of my fears are, but a few are, my fear of getting close to someone, which leads to my fear of them expecting to much of me, and then being afraid of letting them down, and then an odd fear of not dying alone ?_?
Its weird, but having someone who will always accept and be there for me, is more frightening than being alone.

Guessing a Fear of being hated; if that even exists or is accepted. Even though its impossible to be loved for everything you do or by everyone.

I'm athazagoraphobic: afraid of being ignored or forgotten.

I've forgotten my biggest fear. #I'm a retard.

I'm slightly atychiphobic, it's the fear of the failure.
This phobia doesn't apply in my everyday life (luckly!) but i've got serious problems when I face exams and tests. Sometimes I had severe panic attacks before tests, i simply found them terrific. I know that nobody likes tests and exams, but i recognize my own case a bit more complicated. ^^" I'm trying to win this fear, though.

I'm afraid of myself more than anything and my ability to harm other people. Not that I ever would, but I know that I could utterly destroy someone psychologically and that terrifies me.

I am afraid of losing my family.

Everyday it is a constant fight. Everyday I worry if my grandmother will remember my name like she did today. Everyday I worry if they will attack my family again. Everyday i put on a smile, even though my heart is breaking. I see my family struggle so I can't sit down and cry. I get up and lend my shoulder to the ones who still stayed beside me. Everyone thinks I have a good life. I'm smart, I'm good at drawing and the piano, and I have a lot of nice things. But i work hard for everything i have and i never ask. no one knows what i am going through and i can't tell them. i want to cry, yell, scream, shout but i have to stay strong for my family. it may not seem as bad as you think but i cant say the full true story. my heart has harden to protect my sister, my family, my grandma, and myself. i can't even trust my own brother.

KLaus

I fear lots of things...
I fear that I'll die alone without finding my special someone. I fear that people will think I'm not cool cause I'm a sentimental guy & not some badass type of guy.
I fear that I'll never meet any friends in person & that I'll just be a person all alone w/ nobody.
Most of all, I'm afraid of dying & being forgotten.

Dolls, centipedes, ghosts, tornadoes, giant spiders, snakes, bees, wasps, being hit on by a guy whom has been friendzoned, churches, car accidents, things appearing randomly, things disappearing randomly, failing a class, being looked at like I'm stupid, being embarrassed, guns, see-saws, heights, witty people, failing in particular, falling in love, falling out of love, hurting people.... I'm gonna stop there.

I fear the dark, the monster under my bed, imaginary ghosts, scary images that my brain comes up with, my own imagination etc.

Hyperdermic syringe needles.
Spiders.
Heights.

Drowning.

My Past.

Dying.

Spiders
Clowns
unsafe heights
sometimes thunder and lightning
Jump scares in video games ~_~

dying
the feeling that i'm alone
stairwells without rails
germs~_~

that i have no one to rely on

spiders, god I have seen some stuff in my life but if I see a spider I will literally run.

My family dieing or abandoning me. I don't think I will ever truely get over it.

the only thing I am afraid of, is my indifference. Almost nothing worries me, but at the same time very little excites me.

To tell the truth! I think i don't have one! but the greatest fear of my life is darkness and loneliness!!!

I fear the night, when it´s cloudy and I can´t see any stars or the moon, then I feel lost.... I don´t like this feeling.
And I´m afraid of loneliness. I don´t know why but I fear it very much.

growing up...
sounds stupid :P but its hard for me..

Spiders. Even the smallest ones freak me out!

The change in my surroundings. im afraid to let things go and move on to be honest. i think its withpeople going away from me. sometimes im a bit, loyal persay. i could also say meeting people from school in public areas rabdomly. i try to avoid them. and also deadlines.

Do not speak English but I hope you understand me because I use a translator .. The biggest fear is that I can have cockroaches .. Those tiny things make me goosebumps .. pratically take me gay (? XD

>>58 I second that. You haven't experienced pure terror until you've woken up in the middle of the night to find a bastard the size of your thumb right next to you.

Because I was smart enough to watch Jaws when I was around 9, I have a phobia of sharks. A legit phobia, like I can't even swim in the pool without being even slightly afraid and nervous. When I was in swim team I was also afraid especially of being around those black lines that look like T's because they reminded me of hammer head sharks. It sucks because I like swimming, too, but I'm much better at handling it now than I was.

I'm also afraid of not death itself, but more the pain before death. I hate physical bodies.

And then there's the fear of one day being left alone, not even internet friends to keep me company as I wallow in despair and regret, blaming a certain person because they couldn't keep their promises. But what human isn't afraid of that?

I like this thread better than the old one. It's less restrictive about what you can post.

1. Being forgotten. It's hard to explain, but it's one of those weird fears that has always followed me around. Maybe it's thanks to a movie that I watched or book that I read when I was little, but the idea of disappearing and not being remembered by anybody scares the living shit out of me.

2. Mirrors in the dark. I want to say I've gotten over this, but... I mean, I've gotten to the point where I can turn the lights out when I'm in the bathroom without getting that gut wrenching fear feeling. I also don't turn my handheld mirrors upside down before I go to bed anymore. However, I still instinctively have to barely crack the door open to any room with a mirror at night and reach towards the light switch while facing the opposite direction of the door and can't go in until the light is on. I can't even open the door all the way if it's dark. I don't even know what I'm afraid of; it just freaks me out really bad.

3. Anything happening to my dogs or (to a lesser degree) my mom. Or anything/anyone who I've become attached to. (I feel bad saying that since I love my mom to pieces; I just have this thing were I get super attached to animals. It's unhealthy, I know.) I can confidently say that what happens to me personally doesn't matter in the grand scheme of screwing with what I cherish.

4. Getting yelled at. I'd rather get hit than screamed at. Raised voices make me cringe and curl up and just wait for it to end.

5. [insert awkward fear here that was removed]

6. Bees. I either freeze to complete stillness for the entirety of their presence or immediately run inside the nearest building/closed off area.

7. Small spiders and ticks. I don't like things touching me that I don't notice immediately. I also don't like things that steal my blood. It's creepy. It's wrong. Ticks themselves just scare the crap out of me, though. I can't pull my ticks out even if they're within my sight and reach.

I fear failure, regret, being a burden, being rejected, going insane, and not completing my life goal before I die(which my life goal has a large possibility of being completed by someone else before i can complete it, or being impossible). Those are the largest.

My biggest fear is seeing someone i love or care about greatly, it's gut wrenching for me. Corollarily to this, I'm afraid of not being able to protect a friend in a moment where their life is in danger, being helpless. I know i can't save everyone and do everything, but i'm afraid of that day when i here news of someone i know being hurt or hospitalized, and i wasn't able to do anything.

i'm afraid of the dark. still, but not like, the dark in my room at night, the dark outside when every ones asleep and no one is there for you.
im afraid of speaking in front of crowds, and always have been.
I'm afraid that if I let people know the real me, I won't have any friends anymore

I'm afraid of seeing someone I love/loved ruined by another human. To attach themselves to wretched people with evil intent, whether petty or great.

I'm afraid that when push comes to shove, I'll just run away. I'm afraid that I'll become a coward.

>>9 Steve I'm 19 too and I wasn't involved in any romantic stuff. I guess I'm aromantic. I really tried a relationship which started and ended the same day, even if we were talking for almost 2 months. Just wait a little longer. You'll find someone. I'm sure of it.

My fears: is that I'll be alone when I'll need help. I have nightmares of me being in a public place and I'm so tired and sleepy and I fell to the ground. And everyone ignores me.
I'm also afraid that if someone gets to know everything about me she/he will run away. And I'm not a big fan of pain.

I had fear of heights, but I've done this bungee jump (like 20 meters from the ground) and I've passed it!
I also have fears of snake and I panic and I'm shaking and sometimes screaming. I can't watch a picture of a snake without a cold feeling going down my spine. Or tremble for a few seconds. Still I'm wordless. I mean those snakes. Just look at them: the head, the neck and the body is freaking the same things. The way they unhinge their jaws when they eat, their slithery bodies, their faces. They are simply tails with faces!! How can you not hate them?!

Spiders, random death, people touching my stomach, losing love, losing people I care for, and holes (it's a phobia but I refuse to look up the name, last time I tried I almost died!)

Today I realized just how terrified I am of trucks. Just driving by them makes me feel ill.

most insects, small spaces, sharks, low ceilings, never being loved or finding love, frisbees(though my gym teacher refuses to accept that last one, sadly for both my team and me).

I am terrified of cockroaches. I feel a disgusting mix of emotions whenever I see them - fear, loathing, repulsion.

In terms of long term fears - I fear that I cannot be who I try to be. No matter how hard I try, the inevitability lies within my nature - which I cannot change.

i have motion sickness..well maybe a bit i dont really like long rides but i dont hate cars...
What i hate the most are cockroaches rats and other creepy crawlies....

well small dark spaces,the universe and what might be out there,im physiological person

>>72 OMG, you're Natsu (maybe not about the bug part though).
Anyway, my biggest fear is that I'll never be loved. Like, as a woman. Pretty embarrassing, but I really feel like that may happen and it scares me... :(

I'm really scared of being alone, as cliché as that sounds. As in, everybody not even wasting thinking time on me. It's happened many times, though. Also afraid of pain.

The anxiety for simply anything move to fast or begin to load without me being mentally prepared and for some reason when ever it happens I grab the air in my right hand like I have sword or something there and I feel it in my hand really weird

I fear loneliness..
I fear that the people around me will leave me behind..
:'<

hmm ı really scared of write in wrong chat. i always chat 3 or 4 people and sometimes i write a thing to wrong one . when i do that sometimes i argued with my friends T.T please dont laugh ...........And i m scared of lose a friend

I'm afraid of being stabbed in the eye and of my wrists being slit while I'm sleeping. That's why I make it a point to have my hands wrist-down :/

I fear the future and abandonment from my precious people.
When I was younger, I was alone so I just pushed everyone away. Basically until 7th grade, in 7th grade I met this girl who had photos of anime on it. So we ended up talking about that anime (Inuyasha) and becoming friends, she was one of my first true friends. Then she dragged me to an anime convention. After that anime convention, I started to become more outgoing and it was easier for me to talk to strangers and become friends. I don't know but in a way, anime has saved my life. In eighth grade I had new friends who became best friends. But of course all the good things come to an end, we entered highschool, I'm the only one going to a different highschool so I'm afraid that they would abandon me and their memory of me.
I fear the future because with the future, comes a change that I don't want to accept. Now I'm learning to embrace the future but... It's still a bit hard for me to get up on some days.
I'm sorry for the long reply but I felt as though I should tell you guys about this.

I'm afraid of people in mascot costumes (that can also include clowns and people wearing motorcycle helmets, anything that covers up the face), needles (bad experiences at the doctors), and talking on the phone. I can text just fine and talk to people in person, I just feel so nervous and awkward on the phone. :/

clowns, spiders, pedos, crazy Christians ect.

The future is always scary, but that isn't what we fear its the unknown that is truly scary. As for change well change is just like a baseball bat hitting you in the face it just happens and there really isn't much you can do to prevent it.
As for my own personal fears I hate heights, and I have this weird thing with the corners on blank sheets of paper.

That she won't care.

mainly big spiders, when I was like 7 or 8 I was in a pet shop with my mum and some guy was handling a tarantula like a few feet away from me, and then they man asked if I wanted to hold it, all I could do was just stare at it as it was moving from one hand to the next, I realy thought I could't move.

i was thinking about this recently, i was wondering what my big fears are. and none really came to mind. i know i have a fear of falling and a fear of disappointing people, not the death that comes when you land, but only the falling part. i asked others what thier fears where and they told me death, and dying. im not afraid of death, so i felt weird and different from the others. and that got me thinking why are we afraid of things? is it cuz were scared its going to kill us? if im not afraid of death, but i am of falling, and if fear comes from thinking your going to die, why am i scared of falling? it made no sense to me, and still really doesn't. same for me being afraid of disappoint people. its not cuz i dont want them to hate me, im fine with them hating me, its just when I am the one disappointing them, thats what im afraid of. fear to me makes no sense.

>>16 Just wanted to say the "I suppose" part was amusing

To be honest, myself and what I might do if I was in certain situations.

I am afraid of walking on the streets/roads at night alone, I am only scared of this if I dont have any friends or family with me.
I am also scared to death of porcelian dolls.
My last fear is being in a to large of crowds that are looking at me.

I'm afraid of failure.

I'm afraid of being close with someone
Of being forgotten
Of being too pushy
Of being a bully
Of having people know my true feelings...

I`m afraid of not knowing anything...
I`m afraid of forgetting who i am and those around me...
I`m afraid of spiders...
I`m afraid of being alone again...
But i know this going to happen over and over again.
I`m afraid of being seen through...
And I`m afraid of becoming a phantom...

im afraid that the fantasy in my head is starting to rule my reality. but it makes me so happy that i dont wanna leave.

im afraid of being myself.

im afraid of the cold.

im afraid of pretending to be ok, because one day i might actually believe it.

I'm afraid of time.
I'm afraid of death.
I'm afraid of fear.
I'm afraid of myself.

I'm afraid of not knowing, and afraid everything I know is a lie, therefore leadint to the first. I'm afraid of losing her, afraid of losing my family. Afraid of letting fear influence me, afraid rationale will stop being rational, and afraid of the time that may come when I have to defend myself from the world.

I'm afraid of people
I'm afraid of pretending
I'm afraid of smiling when I am hurt
I'm afraid of people seeing through my masked happiness
I'm afraid of people knowing my real thoughts
I'm afraid of people knowing where I came from or more precisely who I come from
I'm afraid of my emotions and the emotions of others
I'm terrified of life and I fear death.

I'm afraid of hurting others.
I'm afraid that people wouldn't like me if they knew what I am like inside.

I'm afraid of losing to my inner darkness.
I'm afraid of losing control and hurting every one.

Im afraid of being betrayed

I'm scared that when I'll go to university I won't be capable to find friends or to balance friends with work :/

I'm afraid of change.
If its a permanent of very long-term change to myself, my friends or family or my surroundings I get petrified.
I know its weird but I'm also feel that cold water will pour into my ears when I'm sleeping unless they are covered

I freaking hate spiders.

>>102 I can relate, I guess... It's not really that I'm afraid of change, it's more like there are times in my life when I feel really content with everything, and suddenly think something along the lines of 'Ah, I wish this would last forever', and then I get panicky when I think about people aging and how my parents aren't going to stay this way forever, and stuff.

My possibly biggest fear is fear of nothingness. That when I die, there's going to be nothing, I just die and that's it. I'm not particularly religious or anything, but I always hope that there is a heaven, or at least some sort of afterlife/ reincarnation, because the one thing I cannot stand is the idea that when I die, everything is completely over. I just cease to exist. So it's not death that I fear, it's that there will be nothing after death.

lol, I am way too young to be thinking about this kinda stuff
^_^'

My Fear is probuly not suessing in an Art Major and failing completely and most likley not being able to be my self.(Even around my famiy)

well..id like my family to except who I wanna be..but i dont thimk that theyll do that..

and i have the same fear of after death as you do, hakuro ^^

I'm afraid that I will die alone and losing all of my friends after high school. I graduate this year, so I will soon find out.

hmm im going to say losing control is my biggest fear

Dying before complete my goals..... also living till old age with your wife and she ends up dying, and I'm left alone in grief.... that's fucking tearful to even think of happening to me.

110, thats sad..i hope that it doesnt happen and that you all trample those fears and live your lives to the fullest

I'm scared of hurting someone I care about

Bugs.

Also, not leaving a mark on this world.

I;m scared of disappointing people and myself. I'm scared that I have to follow people in order to feel accepted

I'm afraid to die alone.

I'm afraid of death

I'm afraid of death

I fear many things actually. But they're really small; like how you're scared of spiders and such. I don't mind dying alone, more like it's not a big deal to me. I don't mind being alone. I'm always the independent type anyway. I seem to recover quick even after hurting someone I care about. Death may be something I do fear about, but it's a part of life. But most of all, I fear myself becoming someone else; a heartless person.

I`m Afraid my dearest person leave me because of death. and I`m afraid hurt my parents feeling.. but honestly, I don`t know why I always afraid of myself..

Fear. Fear is an allusion made from people to descrive moments in which they feel alone and search wretched after love. But still i fear the fear but not because of me no i fear that other people have fear and make the false things in important times of life. Guys please understand fear bring you ever near to the end .... . Why do you fear something what you already know will end somebody when you fear your life or fear that you will fail you can too star to fear yourselves !

I realized something, I looked back at my mental state and all my thoughts and actions up until this point, I'm afraid of being alone, being abandoned, being unloved. When those factors are against me, my mental state deteriorates. It's what I'm truly afraid of but gradually, I've become less fearful, I'm strong enough to withstand those factors but they still can hurt me. I don't understand my fear but as my mental state copes with it, I'm becoming less and less afraid. But when I'm faced with what I love and crave for, the direct opposites of my fears, I become more and more afraid; such is the cycle of my fears that I've come to live with ^^

I ain't got none.

Fiting in. But not in the way you would think I don't want to be normal I feel like I want to scream all I ever did was try to fit in and I hate it. For so long I was forced to be normal ;watch the shows that normal kids watch, do the activities that normal kids do, dress the way normal kids wear; I HATE IT! I'm tiered of it and now I'm done I know that people will pick on me and give me weird looks but I can take it any more.

I get scared by things like spiders and demonic bunnies (Donnie Darko >:|) but something which truly terrifies me is death. Not my death, or really the thought of death. I hate the fact that something can just stop existing and (to be honest) can't fully comprehend it.
I have had an extremely good upbringing and the only experiences of death I have had was with my dogs. But I can't understand how something which brought so much joy just doesn't come back. I know it is simple knowledge and part of me understands it perfectly, but the other half is stubbornly ignorant. And that ignorance scares me.

Honestly, why would you talk about your fears. It would leave you open for someone to use them against you. I'd state mine, but I don't like people using things against me, it's more fun to play with other's. Human's are so fun.

>>125
I agree. :)
I'm not saying its silly or anything, explaining your fears can be a good way to meet other people who may be suffering from the same or similar fear.
Though really I'm just enjoying myself while I scroll through this thread. It's actually really fun to read~ All of these fears are so interesting to read.

S'cuse me for being a sadist.

My fears are not really physical. You can't touch them. My fear is putting my trust in faith in someone, and they break it. My fear is loving someone who just wants to use me and break me. That probably sounds silly, but I think about it every day.

Hi other kanra...im the lower case kanra...you make a good point but sometimes, we just need to let it out of our chest and see if we get advice...i hope that we could be great friends

I`m sorry...
