Title: What is your greatest fear?
Post by: L. Jay Echoes on November 09, 2018, 12:26:37 AM
Ultimately, for me, the thing I fear most is the emotion of shame, which usually surfaces whenever I butt heads with another person. In less abstract matters, I positively dread the idea of dropping a baby, falling from a great height, or joint dislocation, especially jaw dislocation.

More creatively, I fear scary monsters with unclear motives. Whenever I read a horror story with a gleeful creature that wants to kill the main characters, I get bored very quickly. Glee is too recognizable an emotion. It needs to be something more negative to evoke fear in me.

Hm. In a deep sense, I think my fear is becoming what I hate. Waking up and seeing that the only monster in the room is me.


In a more silly sense, doctors! I loathe going to the doctors and I literally have a panic attack when I do.

Honestly, death and the fact that you only live once
Like fr, yeah I have a religion and all so that kinda helps
but its like
YOu have one life so you better not waste it
But than somethings are out of your control from the moment your born and some choices are so important that you'll never get to experience what its like to not make those choices
If that makes any sense

Short answer: that humanity ruins Earth and wildlife. I hope we'll find some way to generate electricity that doesn't affect nature.

I fear the country I live in and the outcome of decisions by those in power. I am telling you the purge may be a thing in the US. It is actually possible....

There will be no purge. That'd cost WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much. A second civil war is never out of the question tho

Good call Rex although a little bit of offtopic is fine :)

My biggest tangible fears are basically "Anything that can hurt you but is hard to see or know where it is", such as wasps, venomous plants that look like normal plants, etc.

I currently don't have that many intangible fears, I guess a fear would be failing, or becoming a terrible person.

Right now I mostly fear that in the next 5 years I won't be able to keep my house unless I get a better job.

also spiders

I hate spiders

Oh, other people have posted a fear that I share, which is becoming a bad person, although I'm looking for ways to avoid becoming the thing I hate.

I guess being worthless. Like the only reason I would particularly fear death or less abstract things is if I'm unhappy with how I perceive myself and need more time to better my position and accomplish my goals fully.

Something I can't believe I hadn't listed before, but rejection, particularly from other furries, especially face-to-face (I've never felt rejected online).

Waking up one day on a spacestation, after complete cutoff from Earth. Unable to get a resupply pod. Everyone else is off station. You are alone. And knowing you will die.

My worst fear is wasting the best years of my life with nothing to show for it, and realizing it’s all downhill from here, when I never even climbed the hill to begin with.

That and evil clowns.

Luckily I’ve never met an evil clown.

All clowns are evil.

Ehh I'll prolly just adjust my last fear abit.

But since I'm still a lil tipsy I'll be a lil more open I guess failing as a father I do want to have kids and while I love my dad he definitely failed me in a lot of ways I wouldnt want any kids of mine to feel the way my father did or the way I do so I guess I'm scared I'll do a bad job and perpetuate a bad cycl.e

I know it's cliché as eff, but for me it's death. The concept of it, and knowing it'll happen to me and I don't know what will happen next.
