What are you afraid of?

What are our fears? Are we afraid of things like death, public speaking, spiders... or more personal things like being alone in life, not being successful enough, or losing someone we love?

I'm afraid of failing in front of people. I don't mind trying and failing in private, but I hate being watched in competitions - I won't even try something in public unless I'm sure I'll do well.

When I was a kid I was afraid of red foods - I thought red meant poison so I wouldn't eat strawberries, red peppers, etc. Thankfully I grew out of that one

I fear getting really really sick and dying slowly. I also fear drowning to death.

I am afraid of drowning.I am not the best swimmer because I had a bad experience once.I am terrified of spiders.They make my skin crawl.Lets see...I hate heights and closed in spaces,and I get panicky if a crowd of more that 10 people close in on me.
There I think thats enough.

I'm afraid of snakes, rats, and public speaking. Rats, I would say, is my most greatest ever fear. Just seeing them scares me away and it can make me cry when they're so close.

snakes and heights scare me to death.

also, the thought of something bad happening to my son or husband....or losing either one.

My biggest fear is definitely rejection. I'm also scared of snakes, spiders, and losing the people that I love the most. I'm also scared of falling off of something high up in the air, but not the height itself.

I'm afraid of death. It is too permanent and such a huge mystery! I'm also scared of losing someone I really love.

Phobias? Not really a phobia but I don't like flying. I'm such a horrible flyer!

I don't like to fly either, but I think that has to do with my fear of heights more than anything.

Yes, that might be it.

Me, I'm afraid to fly because I'm afraid to die because or airplane crash. I'm afraid of driving too, but I just have to do it. I can't afford a driver.

I think I'm scared of the way you could die. Like a plane going down or suffering.

I'm afraid of never succeeding.

I would have to say I am afraid of snakes. As well I really don't like being in or on tall buildings.

Cancer terrifies me. I know it is beatable but since me mom had it I just fear it. I am also afraid of the escalating wars.
