What's your biggest fear?

So what is it? Tell us here and add any stories you might have with it.

I'm really scared of sharks. I can only go in the ocean for like five minutes, but then I get freaked out and have to get out of the water. Even in pools and lakes if something looks like a shark fin I'll scream and run out of the water. I guess after reading stories about shark attacks made me this way. So watching Jaws? Not an option.

The sad thing is, people are going to post stuff that it's easy to find pics of on Google.

Becoming blind...

What is it called when you are afraid of diving head first? I just can't seem to turn my body around so that the top half of my body will make contact first. Scares the s*** out of me. I'd rather stick a live trantula in my mouth than diving in a pool head first.

Anyone got an appropriate, factual name?

I'm afraid that my life will amount to nothing, that I'll end up just another 35 year old (I'm 17 now) with a s*** job, barely any money and just continue like that. Maybe I'm too ambitious?

Liquid Fire, that's what I was going to say.

Being blind isn't that bad. I wouldn't mind waking up blind one morning. From some of the blind people that I have seen, they have inspired me to live their lives to the full, even when their eyesight will fail them forever.

You can still see, but with your nose, you can smell. With your ears, you can hear. With your touch, you can feel. It's like seeing in another way. I just find it beautiful.

And the other thing is that you haven't lost everything. You still have your loves ones, you still have your life.

It's just like living with your eyes closed.

I'm scared of Sharks. Even though I'm from Britain where there's like...none.

One time I went to the beach and a sand shark came up near me (a meter or so). I was ok.
What I'm afraid of would be spiders.

I used to think my biggest fear was clowns.. but that was when I was little. :P I'd have to say my biggest fear really is drowning, already have had several bad experiences with that and I wasn't even in water.

I would have died right then and there. I would have fainted, then drowned.
Oh, and the correct term for the fear of sharks is selachophobia.

I have a few fears, but one of the worst I obtained when I was stung about 50 times by jellyfish. I now have a deathly fear of jellyfish.

Jeez, I hope the shark is okay. :P

I don't have a specific fear of any kind of death or animals, but I am afraid of failure of any kind. It isn't crippling or severe, but I get inordinately anxious when I feel like I am not living up to expectations.

Maybe I wasn't hugged enough as a child?

Here's another goodie: within a mile or so to the west 3 years later, I stepped on a stingray, but wasn't stung. It was smooth and a bit slimy.

That beach is known to be one of the worst beaches in the world for shark attacks. It freaks me out whenever I go, because I was told that when I was younger, a bull shark came up to an area close to us. Scary...

Back on topic, that might be why I am/was afraid of deep water.

i deathly scared of ghosts. i dont know if there are any im just scared of signs that are super sticous
one time at my girlfriends birthday party the decided to play a joke on me
we went upstairs to watch tv and she has this room where her grandma died
*they said that to creep me out and while i was walking past the door
my fried mario was behind it and kicked open the door and the door hit me and i didnt see him so i thought it was a ghost and i booked so damn fast at that door like you dont even know and prolly after minutes of running they told me they were screwing with me

Im only afraid that ill end up alone and have to become the creepy old man that lives alone at the end of the road in an old and spooky house and own 6576358 cats

hmmm...fear, fear,fear....losing my fingers...that would stink, be hard to play vid games, and a pain to type.. :|

This maye sound...simple....or just plain stupid, but my biggest fear, is horror.

my worst fear is of clowns they are so creepy with the face paint and all that. i hate when they try to make me laugh

oh ya i am afraid of growing up and being penniless

I dislike the open sea, being on ships and all, hell being on a boat on a river makes me uncomfortable as well.
And figure this: i do love pirates and everything around it >_<
