wasps and clowns and getting alzheimers

I fear Regret and one day realizing there are no second chances.
Humans and their mind space
Non-transparancy, lies I buy into, and conspiracy

[Lunammi]

Needles, hospitals and physical pain.

[SeverusSin]

I only attribute fears to things that give me the fearful sensation in my body, rather than simply an idea that I dislike. On that basis, I'm sure I have a lot of deep-seeded fears, I just find them hard to pinpoint and describe.

--

Ok, well I'll add some idea-based fears:

- Becoming a corporate drone
- Being completely flat broke
- Wasting my life on non-creative pursuits

[DesertKnight]

Fear is a really interesting concept for me and I do have difficulty nailing down what truly fills me with dread to my very core. There is only one instance I can conjure; and that is being helpless.

Physically or mentally unable to do anything about something important. I have difficulty describing such an intangible thing though; like I can't think of any particular instance in which this would happen.

[Brenna323]

Getting stuck underwater in a small closed-in area.

On an existential level, I fear not being happy. As illogical as the drive for love is, it is everpresent, and so far remains unfulfilled.

On a physical level, I've always had an irrational fear of unseen, unknown, or otherwise eldritch beings watching me. For example, I turn the blinds in my room up because when I was a kid, I always felt like someone was staring down at me while I sleep. Of course, reading SCPs (espedcially SCP-87) recently certainly hasn't helped.

[ElDanoMagnifico]

I fear complacency in the masses.
I fear those that value ideology rather than facts.
I fear those who do not value making ethical decisions.
I fear having someone in an authority position take advantage of me because I lack specific knowledge.

I guess what I'm trying to say it is that scares me most is other people.

[meguca]

I fear death - not only my own death, but also the death of others.

[avanteguardej]

I am afraid of being out of control of myself...so this stems other fears. I'm afraid of dying and I have a fear of taking drugs/medications. I used to not have this fear, but I smoked Salvia once and had a very "out of control" experience. After that, I stopped doing illegal drugs and I started to have anxiety when having to take any type of medication.

[The Dan Keizer]

Well real weed is completely different from salvia, and it is good that you are never doing salvia again. I have seen that stuff turn people's brains into play-doe.

I know what you mean, though. I like a little weed but it makes me feel like my mind is running away from itself and into directions that I am not used to or able to keep control of. So I am never comfortable smoking unless I am home alone or perhaps with my girlfriend.

If I have to speak with people while stoned I will just about have a panic attack.

Green herbs do not agree with me when being smoked. Weed makes me paranoid, anxious, and it makes me hallucinate. It makes me over analyze my breathing and heartbeat. Everyone else who smoked the salvia didn't have anything close to the experience that I did.

I really don't fear anything anymore to be honest, I use to be really scared of spider, but got over it, I also use to be really scared or snakes but got over it when I killed one. I guess you could say nowadays I am afraid of what the future has in store, also I am afraid of myself, My thought process flip flops sometimes one really P one really J, the P one is what scares me, sometimes I make horrible decisions.

[Coffeebean]

As a child I was terrified of any deep water, including the deep end of the pool, or strange waves or patterns in our pool. I've overcome that with age but I still feel sick sometimes when I see certain photos of the ocean or phenomenon that take place there. Can't bring myself to listen to any of those weird deep sea noises, either.

Never had any bad experiences with water and never considered it severe enough to see someone about.

[Ethereal Dream]

I am not afraid of too much but heights is probably the biggest hence why I dislike flying so much. The biggest fear for me is something bad happening to my loved ones. I have kinda had that worry all my life and don't see it really going away. Critters can be bad but I can get past them. We had a bat in the house a couple of weeks ago and surprisingly I handled myself pretty well. Then again my partner was with me and I am sure I would freak out if alone and probably call the police to help. I don't really think they are bat men and would most likely hang up on me if I tried that! But for the most part I am not too scared, more protective if anything.

[Project 2501]

Being erased, and being reborn ad infinitum.

[Plausible]

I fear:
-Not being able to improve myself intellectually.
-My feelings
-Not being competent

[MoreThanSmiles]

-sinkholes (especially the underwater kind)
-spiders with disproportionally large bodies
-someone taking advantage of my kindness
-spending my life helping others but never learning how to focus on my own needs
-not having a family some day
-slipping up in my management of my dark thoughts

[gamecockguy28]

Failure, Rejection, and Regret. Basically, it turns talking to women I'm interested in into complete hell. I fear them rejecting me if I ask them out, fear the regret I would feel if I dont ask them out, and fear failing at a relationship if I successfully ask them out. Yea, hell.

I don't have any "real" fears. Heights, bugs, and clowns have NO effect on me whatsoever.

[Planet Rain]

Regret. It is such a pointless emotion, yet it always weighs heavily on my mind. I don't worry so much about regretting the things I do, but rather the things that I don't do. I also have an enormous fear of spiders and centipedes.

[ch2]

Enclosed space. Where there's no or little sunlight. Wouldn't call it claustrophobia,because I don't get pathological responses. Also it has to be well ventilated, otherwise, suffocation, the thought of it send creeps into my bone.
