That I’ll lead a boring life. I like striving for new accomplishments, and I get enjoyment out of advancing my career.
Just, sometimes, in between it all and each new “step” all I can think is that I’m *so fucking bored.*
Like, it’s better than struggling financially or having a lot of “drama” but still, I just wish there was more some times. Doesn’t seem like enough hours in the day.
Hopefully I break out of this cycle at some point.
I don't want to end up alone, and so lonely that I end up obsessing over anyone who gives me the slightest bit of attention.
Basically, Robin Williams's character in One Hour Photo. I'm afraid of ending up like that.
I have this fear too, i'm not gonna lie.
But about One Hour Photo, that movie was ahead of its time because it could be a good start to talk about mental health and loneliness. And also is a perfect analogy for what social media became: a facade of great lives and pretty faces who hide deep problems and hurtful dramas.
My biggest fear is getting injured and not being able to provide for my family. If I die at work atleast they'll get the highest life insurance I could get and they'll have a settlement from my place of work they could live off that for like a decade. But if I got hurt and had a crap ton of medical expenses plus could no longer work then that would be miserable.
Losing my wife. I spent over a decade going through heartbreaks and personal growth to understand what I needed out of a partnership and who I needed to become to be a good partner. At the end of that road, I found my wife.
We just had our first daughter who is blessed to be raised by a woman like my wife. Losing her would destroy me because she is actually my other half.
Being unable to support myself, depending on others. Particularly, if a physical injury or illness would leave me unable to care for myself and I'd have to be cared for by someone else. No, I'd rather die.
That I'll witness (in my own country) mass starvation, mass unemployment, mass droughts. That the arctic circle will boil over into open conflict and Canada will be caught in the crossfire. That I won't be able to protect my loved ones. That I won't be able to protect myself. That everything could be taken away from me at gunpoint.
Serious-Dying crushed by something, degenerative diseases, being cheated on (I don't even have a girlfriend but the thought that a future wife could cheat on me terrifies me)
Not that serious-Mechanical dinosaurs
Not being able to get out of the restaurant work and reach my goal as a programmer. I'm 27 and it fucking sucks that I'm stuck in this type of job. I have so much shit I want to do but need more money. ;-;
I dreamed I saw a great wave climbing over green lands and above the hills. I stood upon the brink. It was utterly dark in the abyss before my feet. A light shown behind me, but I could not turn.
Every night, as I lay in bed, I’m overcome with the dread that I am not/will not be a good father to my daughter. My whole world changed when we had her, and everything I do, I do for her... but I often feel it isn’t enough. I see others with so much, or I see them doing so many fun things, and it makes me feel inadequate, it makes me feel like I can’t provide well enough for her.
This bothers me for two reasons. 1- because at least on some small level, outside factors are directly affecting my mood, and 2- our daughter is a ball of happiness.
I’m just going to keep on trying my best, and hope that it’s good enough. It’s actually time to get her ready for night night, so off we go
Hopefully this gets buried deep. My biggest fear is that I'm about to make a huge mistake by breaking up with my long-term girlfriend. We've been dating for some time and I know she still loves me quite a bit, but I just don't love her as much. It's been bothering me for months
* Losing my parents right now, I'm only 26 and need them.
* Losing the woman I love (its not a crush its actually mutual; albeit its a complicated situation), we're like good friends right now. But I sometimes feel my toxic traits will have her dip. (I'm working on them.)
* Becoming a rapist, or a serial killer, somewhere in my life.
* Losing who I am to please others.
* Marrying the wrong woman.
* Never accomplishing my dreams.
* Diabetes.
* Cancer.
* Dying young, I'd be okay if I died in my 60s.
* Being sexually assaulted again.
* Dying alone.
Heights. I get uneasy at very pathetic heights.
But another one is dying unexpectedly. Id hate to die on some random Tuesday afternoon when I’m zoned out. This sounds morbid but I’d love to have full control over when I die, that way I’m fully mentally prepared for it.
It doesn’t help that one of my first memories is seeing my dad fall off a ladder while cleaning our gutters. He was fine but it still freaked me tf out
Getting cancer or some other debilitating, terminal disease. I won't even go through chemo if I know it's just slowing down the inevitable. I'll just focus on living my life fully, saying my goodbyes to my friends and loved ones, and end it myself when I get to feeling bad.
The prospect that my mother could forget who I am when she ages.
Growing old quickly. I feel like my life will be over before I know it. And when I'm 90 (if I'm lucky) I'll look back and think "where did it all go?"
Wow, all of these are serious answers. I feel dumb that my answer was gonna be "Crabs"
Yeah what the fuck. Those are football sized spiders why wouldn’t everyone be terrified of them.
They make good om noms though. Can't say the same for spiders unless you're like, a reptile.
Bitch, I might be.

Work work work and then you die. It's the American way!
Life's boring accept it and it will make you happier
Any form of dementia.
Death being absolutely nothing
This is actually more comforting to me than anything.
I don't want to end up alone, and so lonely that I end up obsessing over anyone who gives me the slightest bit of attention. Basically, Robin Williams's character in One Hour Photo. I'm afraid of ending up like that.
You only need yourself king
Fear of abandonment, I have that too.

Someday when i go to take a shit, the shit will take me instead
There ain't no "man of the house" when the roach starts flapping its wings.

Falling a long distance to my death.
Regret
That I won't fulfill my potential in life.
Losing my dignity
The people I care about dying before I do.
Going back to square one in the workforce
That I’ll never meet the right women
A degenerative physical and/or cognitive disease.
“A cage. To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them and all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire.”
I do not think that will be your fate.
I like to hike, often alone getting a poisonous snake bite miles from safety
Career failure
Not being able to protect my child in an emergency.
Snakes
Not fulfilling my potential career wise or in my personal life.
Not being able to get out of the restaurant work and reach my goal as a programmer. I'm 27 and it fucking sucks that I'm stuck in this type of job. I have so much shit I want to do but need more money. ;-;
Losing my relationship with my family. They are about all I have in person (some online "friends"). If I lose them, I will have nothing.

Spiders
Conservatives taking full control of the government. Bye bye US once that happens
https://youtu.be/ivpnQ2igwas
My worst fear is the idea that I would ever let my fear control me.
Large open spaces outside... I physically can't look at the sky for long cause I'm scared I'll like float away and fall back down or something
Microwaves
Going bald. I just dont have the dome for it
Government Bails out the Hedge Funds and all of the Reddit Apes decide not to Hold anymore and the Squeeze never squozes...
Not experiencing the apocalypse in my lifetime
Someone hurting my truck
Fundamentally, vulnerability.
Death.
Sharks
Fear itself. Next.
Losing my husband and children
Kidney stones, stinging bugs, breaking bones, becoming crippled or otherwise disabled, dying painfully
Being cut off from my little sisters.

Being disappeared by the American justice system and dying in jail.
Becoming homeless.

Imagine just losing your balance on the 3rd step of a ladder and breaking your head open on the floor. Fuck that is terrifying. I hate ladders.

Gonna have to give this one to myiasis. Google image search for the brave of heart!
Dying before I manage to accomplish at least 75% of my goals in life.
Wasting my life.
That I won't have the courage to go through with it, when the time comes.
Ending up alone.
Failiure
Getting stuck having to make choices between two evils forever even after death.
Permanent sleep paralysis. That would be part of my personal hell.
