What are you afraid of? (on a deeper level)

Not having a purpose. Still haven't found one.

Hearing that from someone with an Alex avi/sig combo scares me a little for some reason. :P

Failure

People knowing me too well

Any form of incarceration.

Jail, instituionalized, etc. More so over institutionalization than jail.

I'm "afraid" of getting hurt emotionally, as well as other people thinking negatively towards me.

I think this is something subconscious, as I am naturally a very open person, and still am with the few people that I trust. However I have been hurt so many times, and have some skeletons in my closet which will be with me until I die, that I live a lie trying to be liked by other people so they don't see what is truly me. But then again, I do not know what is truly "me". I can love you one second, but want to rip your throat out the next. I can support pure communism one day, but the next be a staunch capitalist. I put on a mask to cover up what I am, because I do not know what I am.

Being a "shadow" (you're there but no one seem to notice you)

To be separated from my loved ones

Failing

The two worst things I can imagine are losing one or more members of my immediate family or getting raped. I'd rather die than have to go through either of those.

Being alone in dark basements, dark lofts, dark forests, dark corridors etc. Any combination where isolation and darkness are well represented will do.

Curse this overly vivid imagination of mine.

I suppose if you were to go "meta" on this; I'm ultimately afraid of being confronted by the extraordinarily unknown when there are no familiar assets around for me to utilize against said unknown.

Blindness.

I'm afraid of my own skeleton sometimes. I think it's going to get up and walk away without me. :?

pretty much failure and loneliness

remaining overweight

dancing...I cannot, for the life of me, go out and dance. I just cant. I've tried. People are like "Oh youre just shy" and pull me out to the dance floor, and I try, I really do, but I fail.

remaining a smoker (I'm quitting this weekend when I go out of town, wish me luck!)

getting murdered in my sleep/ Death/forever alone

I'm afraid of failure. But now that I'm getting closer to my graduation, I feel really scared of the idea of getting stuck in a job you don't like. Jobs here are really really hard to find, so once you found one, you will probably get stuck with it. I'm looking for a specific job that is really hard to get.

Also, I'm afradi I will not do amazingly in my TOEFL test next week. If I didn't manage to get at least +600, I would kiss my dream job goodbye.

failure hurts, but its temporary. plus, at least you tried. Like they say, "it is better to have loved and lost, than to not have loved at all"

the things that really haunt me are the things I should have done, wished I done, etc.

That when I'm old I'll look back at my life and feel regret.

I'm afraid of not being accepted.Aspen706

I've actually noticed that

I'm afraid of the dark cause I have been attacked by something thats in it. Kinda like Paranormal Activity but not as extreme. But I don't like darkness.

Letting someone down.

My parents, my girlfriend, my friends. Problem is I try so hard to please people, I end up annoying others and I never find anytime for myself anymore. It kind of rules me.

i agree

Girlfriend dying. Couple years ago I had a dream where she was run over and killed and since then I have had a huge fear of her suddenly dying.

Loneliness. I've experienced it, I hate it, and I'm absolutely terrified of it. Because I'm afraid of being alone, I'm also afraid of not meeting other people's expectations because I feel that this could lead to being alone. I'm also afraid of not living life to the fullesy, but too afraid of change to do a lot about it. I'm afraid of standing out, I'm afraid of blending in. Honestly, it'd be easier to list what I'm not afraid of.

Settling with power in brownout conditions. Look it up.

Well since spiders aren't allowed..

1.) Being lonely, I mean REALLY lonely, to the point where I don't even have any family or friends.

2.) Being forgotten, Specifically dying and people not remembering me or no one coming to my funeral.

3.) Being poor, I can't even begin to explain how hard I push myself to be as smart as possible and to get my grades as good as I could to be successful. And to prepare the best I can for careers and how many times I've obsessed over the thought of not getting a job I'm happy with or ending up in a cardboard box. Truly, my largest fear.

4.) Failure ^ ties into number 3^

5.) People hating me, I think that I along with a lot of other people want to be loved and admired by everyone they meet.

I'm not talking about things like spiders, snakes, the dark, etc. (although you can go ahead and say those if they REALLY scare you). You know what I mean. I'm afraid of failure. Not necessarily letting other people down, but letting myself down. Like right now, I'm supposed to be working out yet I'm here on OT...4dinfinitum

I think everybody is afraid of failure to some degree. I know I am (to the highest degree lol).
