What are your greatest fears?

[The Cat]

I don't really have conscious fears apart from arachnophobia. If I had to express some, it would be failure. Not doing things flawlessly the first time in front of others. Being in a learning situation under lots of stressful aggression from a teacher.

I agree with your signature...:But fights you anyway. Our battle is epic with lots of powering up and lessons learned about perserverence and friendship Eventually we are approached to participate in the Black Tournament in Demon World, after being spirit detectives...:

Sounds like loads of fun!

Hint: It’s not a fear of looking like a young Christian Bale or having the skills of a Grammatron Cleric, I could definitely live with both of those fates (that cleric attire is pretty damn snazzy too).

 

[Tellenbach]

Also growing old and having to get a colonoscopy. Maybe by then, they'll have robots administering the deed.

Also accidentally committing a faux pas in public and having Greta Thunberg point at me and say "How dare you!".

 

[RadicalDoubt]

I realize I never listed my own fears, which probably come down to lacking control, being mislead/misguided/biased, and being nothing (ie. having no personality or worth)

Christian Bale does nothing for me.

Christian Bale does nothing for me.

He does for quite a few of the women I’ve known and he’s a damn sight more handsome than me.

I dont like the idea of the inevitable death of friends and family, its perhaps not a fear as such, just something I dislike to think about but I do know its out of my control and I tend to think less about stuff that's completely out of my control in order that I'll try and focus more on what I can control instead.

Its probably unique to where I am living but I hate a lot of the sectarian mindsets, I dont like the thought of them escalating and the sorts of violence and madness that can involve.

I've had first hand experience of some of the things that I do fear and they are survivable, life threatening but survivable, so that is something. I do my best to avoid them at all costs without compromise of my integrity.

 

[Schrödinger's Name]

My greatest fear is that an insect will get stuck in my ear.

And I also fear that everything is just made up in my imagination. - Not the bugs. But all the stories I make myself believe about who I am and who I could be.

Perhaps, perhaps not. Beauty is in the eye and all that.

 

[FemMecha]

Christian Bale does nothing for me.

He does nothing for me either! I left a message asking him to help me move. Nothing. I left another message asking if he would put some gas in my car. Nothing. Not.A.Damn.Thing.

 

[Peter Deadpan]

I fear being so messed up that I am completely unlovable, or that I am inherently somehow. That I am too much or not enough or fatally flawed.
I also fear that I am ruining everything good in my life because of that fear.

 

[Coriolis]

Losing someone I care deeply about.

I don't know if this is my greatest fear, but it is the most present to me. There are so few such people in my life, and I treasure every one.

 

[rav3n]

Contracting Alzheimer's disease.

 

[Scaven]

Little dogs. Sounds stupid, but I almost panic in their presence, not around big ones. I’m afraid of puppies too, puppies older than a month. If they are like 10 cm it’s alright, but when they grow up and start running around uncontrollably, I jump onto tables. True story.

 

[Lark]

Wasps, syringes, kafkaesque nightmares.

I mean The Trial is real horror for me. I experienced something like it once.

 

[FemMecha]

My greatest fear is that normal, regular people you meet every day are the same in character as Nazis and other war criminals, but only await opportunity and permission. Sometimes they are.

 

[The Cat]

vermiphobia

I thought that was demonstrated by the Milgram experiment.

It was. My fears are real. I know this.
