What's your greatest fear?

[Doubtcent]

In the spirit of Halloween, I just wonder...
What are you afraid of?
Be it irrational or rational?

[panistheman]

Balloons.

I wouldn't say I have a fear but I'm very cautious and startle easy.

[Alexandritea]

i have an actual phobia of being chased... it's terrible >--<

[rainbowolfe]

Sudden, loud noises/movements and spiders XD I'm a jumpy mess.

[TristanJensen]

Looking through windows at night,
I had this nightmare* when I was a little kid that something horrifying was looking in through one and I haven't been able to bring myself to do it since then...

*I hope it was...

[AnnaLandin]

Me? I'm scared of 99% of everything, both rational and irrational.

I've got a paralyzing fear of heights - like, I get shaky and start crying when someone else crosses a rickety suspension bridge, is how scared of heights I am - I'm afraid of dogs of a certain size (like, labradors and up), and I've got a deeply rooted fear of screwing up, in any kind of context - just to name a few.

I am a shaky bundle of fear, is what I am.

I'm afraid of the phenomenon when the eyes of a painting follow you.
It all started from watching the blues clues halloween episode, "what is blue afraid of"
Then to scooby doo.
Then anywhere else.
Even to the posters I had on the walls as a child.
It still freaks me out.

I'm not really afraid of like
stuff
I'm more afraid of like
Not being wanted or something.

I have a crippling fear of falling. I'm fine with heights if there's an elevator, or railings but if it's like ladders, or walking on a narrow trail next to a steep drop I'm a complete wuss. It used to be really bad when i was younger. I'd wanna do those big slide things at the fair and start crying halfway up the climb.
I also get super anxious when people get mad at me or I hurt someone's feelings, I can't handle doing wrong by people.

Probably has to be drowning. I once had a dream where it was kind of game based so when you fell you would like drown in some sort of ocean or w/e and when I fell in the dream I actually experienced the drowning in such a way that it woke me up o_o"""

[StevenDacasin]

heights, loud noises(gun shots, popping balloons,etc).

[kazukitakamura126]

I have a fear of people rejecting me or anything that I do for someone else.

[yvettegustafsson]

My greatest fear is not being able to tell when I go crazy. Like, not angry crazy, but like having my very own world inside of my head, talking to people that don't exist-bat-shit-crazy.

Found a list of the most common fears. Just so ya'll know you're not alone:

Exactly! My post must be longer, but I share the same sentiment.

[whydocowsfall]

I reeeaaally don't like feeling trapped, whether physically or mentally. It's made me freak out in front of lots of people on many occasions. d:

I also don't like zombies, but... I don't know if that counts. Just know that when I watched Paranorman I freaked out so much that I punched myself pretty hard in the jaw. u_u

[Kyosu]

I'm scare of penguins. seriously do you believe that they can't fly !? me not °3°

*hit apart I have a little phobia for darkness. fortunately i don't sleep with a nightlight

[Vikiro_Hop]

Most beetles freak me out, I find sea monsters while highly unlikely still unsettling. There is definitely some creepy pasta out there that is way too well done.

[WintreKitty]

I have a fear of anticipation. Anything that is new that I am about to participate in, or watching a horror film, playing board games or some type of turn taking game... anything that has a sense of anticipation. It's the fear of not knowing what will happen next mixed with the fear of people's attention I think... Either way it's not a fun fear to have. It probably could be labeled as some sort of social anxiety.

[Stellamari]

Fear of being trapped and living in isolation.
