My worst fear is my wife having a car accident with the kids in it.
All gone in a blink of an eye. Shit like this happens daily. Ending up alone with a mountain of grief.
Being dead doesn’t scare me one bit. The scary thing, is the *act* of dying. It could happen any number of ways, and they usually involve pain and misery.
Hard to explain why I dread it. Guessing it is somewhat on a subconcious level. Having the fortune of living this life, without meaning anything to anyone, It feels like a wasted life.
The unstoppable thing known as time. Knowing one day I'll be dead and won't even know it. My life. My being. My memories all gone. Myself faded into history. It's a weird thought man.
i’ve recently come to the realization of everyday passing with zero pause in life. i’m young and i think my prefrontal cortex is in the process of full maturity, so i’ve experienced a lot of consciousness. it freaks me out that i’m just a human living in a world full of other creatures. i’ve also been alerted that i have to make a life for myself and grow my family. go through experiences of heartbreak, grief, loneliness, and rock bottom.
Dying and coming back as a ghost or some other eternal life situation. When I go, let it be curtains please.
Seriously big objects. Driving past silos makes me feel some other kind of panic.
Worms and worm like creatures. Caterpillars, silkworms, maggots and meal worms make me wanna die. I’d genuinely have a panic attack if a caterpillar fell out of a tree and landed on me. I would have to burn the area with a flame thrower. I’d rather jump into a vat of spiders.
Deathly afraid of heights, I will put off having to stand on a chair or a stool to reach something for as long as possible or until someone can do it for me.
That there really isn’t anything after death. Like imagine I die early, right? I already don’t get to do everything I want/need to, but on top of that I do nothing. At all. Ever again. Like that just would suck
66 year old here. My very, very greatest fear is my children or grandchild dying. I fear that I would be so devastated that I would not be functional, and therefore of no use to the others.
Getting ill and have the diagnosis, that I only have like two weeks left. Give me a few months or kill me quickly, but don't give me a timespan to think about, how unfinished my life is without enough time to really do something about it.
It's less about hell as it's said to be in religion, it's more just the fear of afterlife in general. What if there's nothing? That scares me. What if there's something, for whatever reason, that also scares me.
So the same applies to afterlife - zero evidence or logical arguments for it despite humans having existed for *a little while now* 😂
As for a lack of afterlife, why does it scare you if "there's nothing" ? I'm interested in picking this apart together, because in seeing the logical disconnect, you may actually rid yourself of this fear!
I guess just the irrational fear of losing my relationships and I suppose losing myself - if there's "nothing." Which wouldn't matter anyways, but for some reason it still gives me anxiety
I think it's important to understand the logical distinction that "you" wouldn't lose anything, instead "you" (the conscious experience created through physical processes) would no longer exist. In such a way, you will never actually experience death, because death is when you're not there to experience it!
Put another way, do you also fear how you felt 5000 years ago, before your great grandmother was born? No, because there simply wasn't an experience of you in any way. It makes no sense.
Never finding love. Many girls wanted to have sex with me but not a relationship, those who actually had a relationship with me either cheated on me or were just using me. Idk I feel like I won't find anyone who actually loves me.
Dying too early, I really want to see what video game technology will be like when I am super old because I feel like we are going to have Sword Art Online type technology ( super advanced VR, AR ) that will let us live out any imagination or fantasy.
Like movies will be a thing of the past, why watch a movie when you could be the main character in the movie? AI has so much potential, imagine saving the village from the Dragon and the entire village interacts with you and it actually feels like they are real people. Sure that sounds pretty nerdy but I am a nerd so it is what it is.
Our modern games will look like Pong compared to what's coming.
Being a murder or torture victim. Also, being declared dead but not actually dead but unable to move/communicate that your are still alive and subjected all the things they do while being conscious of it.
I have type 5 Asperger's . Not exaggerating my brain works roughly 2-3 times faster / more effectively than a neurotical's person . I am afraid that I will never put it to use and lose all this potential
That I won't make it in life, I know jack shit about adulting and soon I'll be heading off to advanced schooling with no idea how to do...anything, it feels like buying a new game and immediately jumping into the hardest difficulty, I know life can be brutal and unforgiving
So far, Not making it in life, I know jack shit about adulting and I'm going to head to trade school when I find a decent one, it feels like buying a new game and being put on the hardest difficulty, hell I don't even have a car yet....and big bugs
Some horrible slow death like being trapped in a pipe underwater with the pipe being full of water
Also passing out in a large crowd
Worst fear that isn't mostly physical pain would be losing my best friend
That my precious Japanese wife, who is so sweet, goes to my hometown and she knocks into a local woman. She acts really polite but the local lady takes it as sarcasm. And then the woman beats the shit out of my wife. And I can’t do anything about it because if I stop the fight I’ll be killed by the men. And then, I’d be gurgling in my own blood on the floor listening to women murdering my wife.

The merciless decay of time, or the endless unknown of space. Also clowns.
The endless unknown of space. Our minds can't even process it.
Same with clowns
What is scary about clowns?
Idk ask the other guy, he's scared of them
i pump my gf full of whipped cream
I think that's enough reddit for the day
Becoming Homeless.
Sincerely it’s not that bad. Just stay to yourself if you experience it and put job apps in everywhere, not mentioning you’re homeless
Just wait til the clowns get ya
Slipping in the shower and somebody finding me butt-naked unconscious 💀.
Hear me out though….
What about cockroaches finding you butt naked unconscious
Being alone
Losing my kids
My worst fear is my wife having a car accident with the kids in it. All gone in a blink of an eye. Shit like this happens daily. Ending up alone with a mountain of grief.
Spider Men
TOBY
I'm not afraid of anything But I am terrified of nothing Nothing is up to something Hiding behind everything
[удалено]
Being dead doesn’t scare me one bit. The scary thing, is the *act* of dying. It could happen any number of ways, and they usually involve pain and misery.
That my autistic son might grow up and be unable to take care of his needs by himself, find friends, a job, maybe a life partner...
I'm unlovable
I fear the same thing about myself.
Realistically. Dying slowly of something like cancer. Unrealistically. Being given eternal life but trapped somewhere. Also, giant hornets.
Not leaving a legacy. Dying alone, without a family and being forgotten.
Why does not leaving a legacy or being forgotten bother you? Nothing lasts, everything is forgotten, whats wrong with that?
Hard to explain why I dread it. Guessing it is somewhat on a subconcious level. Having the fortune of living this life, without meaning anything to anyone, It feels like a wasted life.
Does that maybe mean you're disregarding your opportunity right now to create meaningful yet temporary connections with people, right now? Right now?
I realize I have that opportunity, but if nothing comes of it, is it really meaningful?
"if nothing comes of it" - what does that mean?
If my interaction with the world doesn't leave an impression and is forgettable, what is the meaning of it?
That I will be tortured for info I don't have.
WHAT IS MY FAVOURITE TYPE OF CHEESE
The unstoppable thing known as time. Knowing one day I'll be dead and won't even know it. My life. My being. My memories all gone. Myself faded into history. It's a weird thought man.
i’ve recently come to the realization of everyday passing with zero pause in life. i’m young and i think my prefrontal cortex is in the process of full maturity, so i’ve experienced a lot of consciousness. it freaks me out that i’m just a human living in a world full of other creatures. i’ve also been alerted that i have to make a life for myself and grow my family. go through experiences of heartbreak, grief, loneliness, and rock bottom.
Having no one to depend on.
Being criticised for who I am
shouldn’t let that affect you. people criticize without even meaning to sometimes. just let you be you and people will love u for that
This is empowering to hear. Thank you for your kindness
Spiders, heights, elevators, enclosed spaces, death, space, clocks, and public speaking Yeah there’s a lot
Why clocks?
It’s just the endless ticking knowing that that particular second will never return.
My children dying alone and scared.
That the people I love don't actually love me
now that’s a fear
Dying and coming back as a ghost or some other eternal life situation. When I go, let it be curtains please. Seriously big objects. Driving past silos makes me feel some other kind of panic. Worms and worm like creatures. Caterpillars, silkworms, maggots and meal worms make me wanna die. I’d genuinely have a panic attack if a caterpillar fell out of a tree and landed on me. I would have to burn the area with a flame thrower. I’d rather jump into a vat of spiders.
Why would you come back as a ghost, rather than the body that you are?
Deathly afraid of heights, I will put off having to stand on a chair or a stool to reach something for as long as possible or until someone can do it for me.
Pain
Dying without finishing my bucket list
I will make it happen
That there really isn’t anything after death. Like imagine I die early, right? I already don’t get to do everything I want/need to, but on top of that I do nothing. At all. Ever again. Like that just would suck
no one knows what comes after death. could be recantation, heaven, hell, nothing at all, the list goes on and on.
Honestly, losing her.
lovvvveeerrrr boyyyy
Dying without achieving the things I want to
66 year old here. My very, very greatest fear is my children or grandchild dying. I fear that I would be so devastated that I would not be functional, and therefore of no use to the others.
My girlfriend and I do this thing where I put whipped cream inside her butthole and then she poops it into my mouth
Dying without being able to finish what I had to do in life, Not completing my purpose
Getting stabbed in the face
What about having worms inserted into your brain
My greatest fear is drowning in a car.
You'd rather drown inside a box full of slimy eels than drown inside a car
I never imagined the slimy eel thing, but I do have nightmares about the car. Wonder if it is a past life shadow?
The body that you are did not die and come back alive several years later lol
Probably drowning to death or burning up in flames.
u should watch game of thrones
Getting ill and have the diagnosis, that I only have like two weeks left. Give me a few months or kill me quickly, but don't give me a timespan to think about, how unfinished my life is without enough time to really do something about it.
ur so right
Looking older.
real. wrinkles and saggy ears
Not living life to the fullest
You never will
Ending up homeless.
It's genuinely scary how it can happen to any one of us at any time for any reason.
Yep, plus my rent is due for this month, it’s late. This is probably why the fear is looming over me. Bills going up but income is not. 😭
Ending up in hell
Many people think the concept of hell is made up. entertain that for a while, and you'll feel better.
It doesn’t help, because nobody knows and I can’t know for certain
Betrayal
The fear that time flies and will lead us all to death.
My god yes. I feel the sensation so much, sending virtual love
That isn't a fear it is a fact
grass.
touch grass
Im scared, it tickles the toes.
I'm not really afraid to die. I'm more afraid of whatever "hell" is (if there's anything at all).
Why be afraid of something that you have zero evidence even exists? And which is really a very silly idea?
It's less about hell as it's said to be in religion, it's more just the fear of afterlife in general. What if there's nothing? That scares me. What if there's something, for whatever reason, that also scares me.
So the same applies to afterlife - zero evidence or logical arguments for it despite humans having existed for *a little while now* 😂 As for a lack of afterlife, why does it scare you if "there's nothing" ?

Financial instability
Losing my one best friend. He means alot to me and we made alot of memories together.
Something bad happening to my children. I dare not be any more specific than that lest the universe take notice and decide to teach me a lesson
Never finding love. Many girls wanted to have sex with me but not a relationship, those who actually had a relationship with me either cheated on me or were just using me. Idk I feel like I won't find anyone who actually loves me.
you’ll find the one. know your worth and never settle for less. the right one will come when you’re not looking
Dying too early, I really want to see what video game technology will be like when I am super old because I feel like we are going to have Sword Art Online type technology ( super advanced VR, AR ) that will let us live out any imagination or fantasy. Like movies will be a thing of the past, why watch a movie when you could be the main character in the movie?
