I suddenly realized that the thing that I fear the most (after all of those deathly fears of the children dying etc.) is that I lose my freedom to choose. So I'm control freak about my freedom. I hate if somebody tries to decide on behalf of me of my business. I hate if somebody tries to restrict me and my freedom.

A self-perception of meaninglessness, and/or extreme amount of physical pain. (Being beaten up, knifed, shot, tortured, incinerated, etc.)

1. Losing my identity, changing into someone I wouldn't recognize or couldn't respect.

2. Being trapped in a situation that I no longer want to be in.

3. Becoming ugly/disfigured somehow.

To fall into self-destructive behavior one day, and have to face my family and friends to say "I need help."

Some of my favorite words to live by in this paricular order are: "If you're worried you're going crazy you probably aren't, but if you think you're sane then you probably are crazy. "

or something like that can't think of the exact quote. I think most people believe their is something seriously mentally wrong with them the ones that actually are insane don't think they do.

So as long as you continue to worry you'll be safe.

My worst fear is dying alone, not having lived a life full of love. But that part is looking like it's gonna solve.

I don't want the freedom of choice, as long as i'm happy with my situation. But that is because I have so many choices to make right now, I know I wouldn't reason this way normally.

some sort of airborne disease that turns people into cannibalistic zombies... when, by coincidence, several people start coughing at the same time, i often worry my worst fear has become a reality, and that it's only a matter of time before i feel a cough coming on and my vision turns red... followed closely by the loss of all will except that to consume human flesh :thelook:

I once read that one's greatest fear springs from one's greatest strength. For example a genius' biggest fear might be declining intelligence.

As for me my biggest fear is being seen as shallow and/or selfish.

For a long time I struggled with the fear of dying/being alone. As much as I do feel alone at times, I think I've made peace with it.

Which brings me to my (now) biggest fear.

That all of my efforts were for nothing. That I shouldn't have tried to begin with. That I don't stand a chance, that my best is worthless. That feeling of hopelessness.
