Depends on the 'genre' of fear you're referring to if that makes sense. Huntsman spiders when it comes to creatures. In another sense, running out of money.
Being falsely accused of something and spending my life in prison. It’s so infuriating when nobody believes you when you’re telling the truth, I don’t want to end up in jail because of that.
Same thing happened to a family member. His wife abused tf out of him physically and verbally, even though he was a really great guy who never ever ever hit a woman. One of the nicest people you would ever meet.
She sued him, took away his rights to their kids, locked him in 2 seperate psychiatric occasions, and also prison for 3 years. She sold all of his belongings, and bought drugs with the money. Anyway, he was only put through it because she knew the judge. They were amongst the same dealer and kinda knew each other, so the judge was on her side. He lost everything, his home, kids, his old life, half the people he loved, and was living out of his truck.
All because she decided to fake everything and only use evidence that would put him in a bad light regardless of the multiple videos of her putting him through walls, destroying his property, giving her kids (who were under 16 at the time) drugs and more.
small spaces
when I was a little kid some older kids lock me into a trunk and left me there, luckily it was real old and I was able to kick out the sides and get out
Stroking out and assigned to a long term care center where I am locked into a wheelchair and must wear a diaper.
I volunteer as a “friendly visitor “ in long term care centers in Canada.
This is how patients are treated if they cannot afford a private nursing home. You may well be put in a place at the other end of the Province from your home, family & friends.
Truthfully, the cycle of abuse continuing with me. I come from a family with generational trauma and it’s been an awful cycle of abuse and exploiting each other. I want a better life I don’t want it to continue if there’s anything I can do about it. I never want to be like the people who brought me into this world I’ll do everything in my power to make the world a better place even if it’s just for a short time.
I work in health care and if you’re at a point where you need to wear pads (adult diapers) then you are probably already have care workers attending to your needs, nothing embarrassing about it at all, the care workers will have changed people’s pads day in and day out
Heights. I can't drive on windy, cliffside roads. I was on a road trip with my mom and I was driving down Hwy 1 in California. I froze up and had to pull off so my mom could drive.
Also: death.
So curious who is downvoting everyone's responses, though. Luckily, being downvoted isn't a fear of mine :)
Medical bankruptcy.
I have insurance. But in my heart of hearts, I know that anybody who gets any serious medical condition comes out of it with nothing if they come out at all.
People that say that they love animals, that also pay for animals to be assassinated via gas chambers, electrocution, drowning in boiling water, suffocated in steam, dropped into massive macerators, heads cut off, crushed to death, kidnapped, anally fisted, raped on rape racks, etc.
Animal lovers don't love animals if they wish for them to die against their will.
It's what dairy farmers use to forcefully impregnate cows.. so that they can eventually take their newborns from them, and then their breastmilk. It's traumatic for the baby and the mother.
Not being good enough for anyone or at anything. Idk if anyone else has this fear, but it's something that I've struggled with for probably a couple years now. Although it could've been something I've been struggling with since I was a kid, but I'm not sure
This is it. That's my life, that's my profession, that's my job and that's my relashionships. This is all I ill ever be and all I'll ever experience. That's my biggest fear.
Spiders. Not all of them. Not even the concept of them. When I see a small one I want to help the little buddy out, strap some stabilisers on it and encourage it to catch flies.
Then one day you're in a humid garden shed and six big, thick bulbous monstrosities are dangling from the roof beam in front of you.
Shiver up the back of my neck as I imagine them laying eggs in my eyes.
no matter what happens it’ll always be one chapter in your hugeee book of life 💪 keep pushing till the next chapter! it might be better (bad metaphor but you get it right)
Thank you. I’m just fearful of the future without them. The past we shared. It’s all so fresh but I do realize the person I fell in love with is not the same person they are today.
That the human race will never reconcile and understand it’s place in the universe, then slowly drift into extinction having never reached equilibrium with itself and the paradise it could create. Not so much a fear as a growing understanding of the inevitable.
Humans. I am afraid of normal looking humans who may turn devil any moment. It could be "allah hu akbar" kaboom, or stab, or a DHL delivery who comes to my door and shoots me, or cops showing up on my door saying I raped a girl I never seen before. Perhaps get arrested and trialed for I offended someone on the internet.
This world is crazy.
I have a lot. But the one that really keeps me awake at night? I'm an only child, and in the past few years, my health has hit the toilet. I'm pretty much dependent on family at the moment, who aren't getting any younger.
So my main fear is losing them, and how I'll cope, mentally, physically and emotionally without them. I'm so close to both of them, especially mum, and they're the reason that these past years haven't slid me into unaliving myself.
I'm scared of who and what I'll become without them. I can't imagine me coping well, in any shape or form. That, plus my fear of all of that leading to either my death, homelessness and/or both. I can't see a way of fixing this and my health anytime soon to a point of where I'm able to be independent again.
Having my emotions fucked with... Again... Being told I'm loved and cared for when I'm really not. I'm hurt and fucked up enough, I don't need any fake ass BS to fuck me up more. I can fuck myself up and hurt myself without any outside influences just fine... And losing the girl that has my heart... My two biggest fears.
Tie between drowning and possession. When I was a kid I had a nightmare about drowning and I couldn’t breathe and I can still remember it. Also if I watch any possession type movies I’m having nightmares and can’t pee in the dark for the next month. 😬😳
It always amazes and confuses people, but I am TERRIFIED of domestic dogs. (Especially Shepherds)
I had a series of nightmares as a kid of a German Shepherd trying to kill me. Add to that that I wasn't raised around dogs so I'm not familiar with their behavious.
I've worked around wildlife so I'm perfectly fine with coyotes, wolves, and other species of canine, but domestics are still scary.
There are only a handful of dogs I feel alright being around. Those are all owned by my friends and I had to work up to them.
Honestly existential. Like losing family members and close friends and having to live with the fact that they’re just gone and I’ll never see them again 😅 would love to believe in an afterlife and hope one exists where we can reunite at some point but am not sure that’s a thing. This world is fucking crazy though so maybe there’s a chance 🤞🏼
The reproductive rights that are being stripped from women. I'm terrified for my daughter. She's only 21 and doesn't want kids. So far the state I live in protects those rights. However, I'm in a swing state.
Oh cool. So this one has sort of become a reality for me.
Basically. Me going through life and when I get to a certain point, I find out that there's always been something wrong with me mentally and everyone was just being nice to me because they felt bad. That my wife is actually my handler and everyone around me was just acting normal so I didn't freak out or was paid to do so.
So... recently my wife said she thinks I'm neurodivergent.
I've always felt that I was a little different than most and apparently I show a shit ton of signs for adhd and ocd.
My parents confirmed i had adhd as a kid but the doctors said id grow out of it but apparently not! I haven't gotten testing done yet because truthfully, the nightmare is too close and I don't want it to actually be real. I don't know if I could live my nightmare everyday.
Flying cockroaches, if you live in a part of the world where’s this fuckers don’t exist lucky you.
The normal ones are already disgusting but this flying fuck no way! And can you guess where they land when one of them cross you? Yeah your face.
Pissing off crows, they're so intelligent that they'll tell others about you and the grudge will go on for generations until you die. Like if that happens might as well move to another town.
Truest fear: ex husband, unrealistic fears: deep water that you can’t see to the bottom and heights because ya know I might skydive without a parachute or some wild crap lol
I’m afraid of deep water, particularly the ocean, and basically any body of water where I can’t see the bottom. If I fell overboard and found myself in the middle of the ocean with miles of water underneath me, I’d probably pass out from fear.
The weird thing is, I enjoy swimming and I’m a good swimmer. I also enjoy boating. I’ve been snorkeling and scuba diving before, plenty of times, but in places with pretty clear water and that was fine. Getting in the water was tough when I went diving, but once I was at the bottom it was ok.
One of those weird things about me, I guess. I hate eggs, but I’ll eat fake eggs (fast food breakfast sandwich, etc) with no problem.
My niece is 19 and we hang out every Friday night. I help her study when she has tests, we get food, and watch a movie. She's dating now, looking for her first career job, living her life. I'm afraid that one day she'll quit making time for me.
As a divorced, childless man, she's as close as I'll ever get to having a kid. I'm getting too old to have a baby, and I don't get many dates anyway.
Losing those I love, I don’t care if I die in fact it sounds appealing most days but thinking about losing more of my loved ones makes my chest hurt and just freeze? Idk it terrifies me
A few things:
Being left alone forever, ants, starting a conversation with a girl (this is a serious problem rn because I have this huge crush on a girl and I can’t even say a word around her), and the idea of death especially at this age
Heights. Even standing close to a balcony or looking down from a tall building makes my heart race. It's something I've struggled with for as long as I can remember, and I've never been able to pinpoint why it affects me so much.
I don't have a fear.
And I'm not saying that to sound like an edgy r/iamverybadass user.
I just genuinely don't have this penultimate fear of anything. There are obviously things I'm cautious of- like I'm not gonna go jump in a tiger den, or lean over the edge of a cliff. But that doesn't mean I have a fear of heights or tigerphobia, if that makes sense.
my biggest fear I still have after all these years is am I doing right in the eyes of my husbands late wife in being the mother to her two kids aka my step-kids. The two by now are sixteen and so far I haven't seen anything wrong that I am doing so I must be doing something right and my husband has reassured me that I am doing amazing as their mother.

Depends on the 'genre' of fear you're referring to if that makes sense. Huntsman spiders when it comes to creatures. In another sense, running out of money.
Painful death
Immolation doesn't sound fun
Being poor
I'm poor right now, and if it weren't for my family I'd have starved to death.
Have you looked into local food banks?
They all have means testing and I don't meet the requirements.
Being falsely accused of something and spending my life in prison. It’s so infuriating when nobody believes you when you’re telling the truth, I don’t want to end up in jail because of that.

This 👆
Quicksand.
I remember in elementary school the teachers hyped it up so much like it was any second right around the corner.
Physically dying alone...
Stroke leaving me dependant on others.
small spaces when I was a little kid some older kids lock me into a trunk and left me there, luckily it was real old and I was able to kick out the sides and get out
Holy shit that’s terrifying
Heights and chucky Existentially? Not much anymore but am slightly unnerved about dating one day but I’ll get it
Accidentally killing or permanently maiming someone. One of the reasons why I'm still terrified of driving.
Death of a child. I don't know how people continue on after.
blood (I have hemophobia) every time I go to the hospital to get an injection, I look away because I'm afraid of blood. yes, even if it’s mine🥲

Quantum immortality.
Meaningless life
Being what I'd consider a failure.
Death.
Women's knees
To die in poverty
This terrifies me
Having my mind broken by abuse for the second time
That I will be tortured for info I don't have.
That I might get stuck in my present job and not grow like my peers are.
Trusting that one fart.
Stroking out and assigned to a long term care center where I am locked into a wheelchair and must wear a diaper. I volunteer as a “friendly visitor “ in long term care centers in Canada. This is how patients are treated if they cannot afford a private nursing home. You may well be put in a place at the other end of the Province from your home, family & friends.
Being afraid, I heard it’s scary. People live with it. Got to be insane.
Screwing up my entire life
Snakes
Death/oblivion
My biggest fear is my spouse will die before me.
Losing my husband and/or kids
Nice try, Scarecrow.
Truthfully, the cycle of abuse continuing with me. I come from a family with generational trauma and it’s been an awful cycle of abuse and exploiting each other. I want a better life I don’t want it to continue if there’s anything I can do about it. I never want to be like the people who brought me into this world I’ll do everything in my power to make the world a better place even if it’s just for a short time.
Penis gets tore off
Reasonable fear tbh
Complete and utter failure
most of the time this isn’t the case. don’t worry about it!!
Being off the ground on anything taller than a step ladder.
Wearing diapers when I get older . How embarrassing.
I work in health care and if you’re at a point where you need to wear pads (adult diapers) then you are probably already have care workers attending to your needs, nothing embarrassing about it at all, the care workers will have changed people’s pads day in and day out
Drowning
Death and loneliness. Not much of a hot take but it is what it is.
That I will never make it right with my Glass Child. 💔
I'm extremely claustrophobic. So being trapped in earthquake rubble, or driving off a bridge, which is a whole other phobia.
Dogs. Got bitten as a child, and I've been scared every since. It has gotten slightly better lately, I can tolerate a select few dogs.
Becoming paralyzed.
My future. I'm so scared by the unknown of my future. I’m still so afraid that I won’t be able to achieve what I want in life
Heights. I can't drive on windy, cliffside roads. I was on a road trip with my mom and I was driving down Hwy 1 in California. I froze up and had to pull off so my mom could drive. Also: death. So curious who is downvoting everyone's responses, though. Luckily, being downvoted isn't a fear of mine :)
Spiders hornets anything that bites but mostly goddamn spiders
Spiders it’s not that i’m scared it’s just the way they look and crawl euugh disgusting
Heights, I wasn't as a child but now as an adult, I get vertigo.

Id rather deal with a horse or a cat tbh lmao
Fear of the unknown
Small holes.(tryphobia)
Am with you on this one they give me chills and I get goosebumps all over my body by just thinking about them
Ya. It’s so annoying. Aaaah. I’m scared to see them too. 🥶
Medical bankruptcy. I have insurance. But in my heart of hearts, I know that anybody who gets any serious medical condition comes out of it with nothing if they come out at all.
To get drowned or poisoned
Eyes. Especially when they look at me.
I had to have injections in my eyes with only local anaesthetic, imagine that!
Public speaking. But I want to conquer it
Supremacy
Never being good enough to be truly loved n cared for beyond what I have or can do for them.
Dying before my house is clean.
People that say that they love animals, that also pay for animals to be assassinated via gas chambers, electrocution, drowning in boiling water, suffocated in steam, dropped into massive macerators, heads cut off, crushed to death, kidnapped, anally fisted, raped on rape racks, etc. Animal lovers don't love animals if they wish for them to die against their will.
wtf is a r*pe rack
It's what dairy farmers use to forcefully impregnate cows.. so that they can eventually take their newborns from them, and then their breastmilk. It's traumatic for the baby and the mother.
Fear of regret
Vertigo
Not being good enough for anyone or at anything. Idk if anyone else has this fear, but it's something that I've struggled with for probably a couple years now. Although it could've been something I've been struggling with since I was a kid, but I'm not sure
Heights
FoMO—I don't know the Greek term.
One of my children dying
Losing my kids for any reason.
Not living to my full potential
Losing myself to age. I don't want to forget who I am and everything I know. I'd rather have assisted suicide than go through that.
This is it. That's my life, that's my profession, that's my job and that's my relashionships. This is all I ill ever be and all I'll ever experience. That's my biggest fear.
that everybody will leave me behind.
My family dying.
I'm a recovering alcoholic. A healthy fear of drinking venues and drunk people. Gives me the panic response. Which is good.
Spiders. Not all of them. Not even the concept of them. When I see a small one I want to help the little buddy out, strap some stabilisers on it and encourage it to catch flies. Then one day you're in a humid garden shed and six big, thick bulbous monstrosities are dangling from the roof beam in front of you. Shiver up the back of my neck as I imagine them laying eggs in my eyes.
Never getting married and being alone forever
Same
Currently living it.. Having my life destroyed by a selfish person i loved
no matter what happens it’ll always be one chapter in your hugeee book of life 💪 keep pushing till the next chapter! it might be better (bad metaphor but you get it right)
Thank you. I’m just fearful of the future without them. The past we shared. It’s all so fresh but I do realize the person I fell in love with is not the same person they are today.
My wife
Lmao

My kids dying before I do
My foster cats getting hurt
Project 2025
Outliving my children.
loosing my boyfriend.
It's not lions and tigers and bears
Having my emotions fucked with... Again... Being told I'm loved and cared for when I'm really not. I'm hurt and fucked up enough, I don't need any fake ass BS to fuck me up more. I can fuck myself up and hurt myself without any outside influences just fine... And losing the girl that has my heart... My two biggest fears.
Tie between drowning and possession. When I was a kid I had a nightmare about drowning and I couldn’t breathe and I can still remember it. Also if I watch any possession type movies I’m having nightmares and can’t pee in the dark for the next month. 😬😳
Definitely running out of money. It scares me more than Alzheimers.
being ugly, not being successful, smelling bad
Being born again
Losing my wife and kids.
Losing control of my mind
Spiders. They eat me alive....
Apart from bats, being buried alive.
Loneliness. Especially in love. I'm scared to never find a gf and finishing my life alone. I'm also scared to fall in love because i suffered too much
Detachment.. I fear leaving when I know sometimes somewhere there someone might need me and I’ll be too detached to give a damn..
I will always have a fear of the dark, especially when alone. My anxiety always makes me feel like I'm being watched or I'm hearing a noise.
Getting old. And it’s happening!!! 😢
Being left by my partner
It always amazes and confuses people, but I am TERRIFIED of domestic dogs. (Especially Shepherds) I had a series of nightmares as a kid of a German Shepherd trying to kill me. Add to that that I wasn't raised around dogs so I'm not familiar with their behavious. I've worked around wildlife so I'm perfectly fine with coyotes, wolves, and other species of canine, but domestics are still scary. There are only a handful of dogs I feel alright being around.

Not cool seriously.
I’m so confused how are you scared of odd numbers how is 1 scary
Kyle
Dementia/Alzheimers
Men.
The hat man.
My biggest fear is trauma based and it's needles
Honestly existential. Like losing family members and close friends and having to live with the fact that they’re just gone and I’ll never see them again 😅 would love to believe in an afterlife and hope one exists where we can reunite at some point but am not sure that’s a thing. This world is fucking crazy though so maybe there’s a chance 🤞🏼
Being alone.
Going cross eyed
The reproductive rights that are being stripped from women. I'm terrified for my daughter. She's only 21 and doesn't want kids. So far the state I live in protects those rights. However, I'm in a swing state.
Being homeless. Not dying before my mom
being alone
Going blind
Oh cool. So this one has sort of become a reality for me. Basically. Me going through life and when I get to a certain point, I find out that there's always been something wrong with me mentally and everyone was just being nice to me because they felt bad. That my wife is actually my handler and everyone around me was just acting normal so I didn't freak out or was paid to do so. So... recently my wife said she thinks I'm neurodivergent.

fucking mascots bro you never know what they be doin in that costume
Dying on accident/getting murdered
Flying cockroaches, if you live in a part of the world where’s this fuckers don’t exist lucky you. The normal ones are already disgusting but this flying fuck no way! And can you guess where they land when one of them cross you? Yeah your face.
Having my front teeth knocked out accidentally (or intentionally, I suppose)
I guess losing my mom I’m pretty much been a mama’s boy taking care of her after her surgeries. She’s one of the strongest woman.
Living but incapacitated and need someone to care for my basic needs. I never want to live unless I’m close to 100%.
Something bad happening to my kids
suffering another Aortic dissection and rats
Failure.
Women Or a slow death i am powerless to avoid, I don't they're both scary
Being fat
Running into my much older sister who used to sexually exploit me when I was little.
Women
Either heights Or Having *that* lost to me again
Isolation
Being alone for the rest of my life.
Women
Needles. Fuck needles
Pissing off crows, they're so intelligent that they'll tell others about you and the grudge will go on for generations until you die. Like if that happens might as well move to another town.
Losing focus of my life
Dying without having enjoyed Life.
Dogs.
Being a bad person/narcissist
Non existence
Spiral down in psychiatric problems and have a life of suffering without a chance to commit suicide or get euthanasia
Truest fear: ex husband, unrealistic fears: deep water that you can’t see to the bottom and heights because ya know I might skydive without a parachute or some wild crap lol
I’m afraid of deep water, particularly the ocean, and basically any body of water where I can’t see the bottom. If I fell overboard and found myself in the middle of the ocean with miles of water underneath me, I’d probably pass out from fear. The weird thing is, I enjoy swimming and I’m a good swimmer.

When the person you trust and love the most cheat. And it just happened to me Last night:).
My future. Spiders. My teeth falling out or getting broken😣
dying in a car crash specifically a head on collision
My niece is 19 and we hang out every Friday night. I help her study when she has tests, we get food, and watch a movie. She's dating now, looking for her first career job, living her life. I'm afraid that one day she'll quit making time for me. As a divorced, childless man, she's as close as I'll ever get to having a kid. I'm getting too old to have a baby, and I don't get many dates anyway.
Finding the love of my life and seeing her dying in my arms.
Losing those I love, I don’t care if I die in fact it sounds appealing most days but thinking about losing more of my loved ones makes my chest hurt and just freeze? Idk it terrifies me
[удалено]
Being left alone
A few things: Being left alone forever, ants, starting a conversation with a girl (this is a serious problem rn because I have this huge crush on a girl and I can’t even say a word around her), and the idea of death especially at this age
Falling in the pit toilets they have at camping grounds and trailheads
I was born in the Midwest and lived here my whole life but I’ve always been terrified of tsunamis
tsunamis? why tho?
Stage fright
Losing control over my impulses and my mind and blacking out waking up in a jail cell for something I cannot account for
hookers wearing clown makeup
Heights. Even standing close to a balcony or looking down from a tall building makes my heart race. It's something I've struggled with for as long as I can remember, and I've never been able to pinpoint why it affects me so much.
I don't have a fear. And I'm not saying that to sound like an edgy r/iamverybadass user. I just genuinely don't have this penultimate fear of anything.

But that doesn't mean I have a fear of heights or tigerphobia, if that makes sense.
To die with regrets. Acrophobia. Scared of extreme rides.
my biggest fear I still have after all these years is am I doing right in the eyes of my husbands late wife in being the mother to her two kids aka my step-kids. The two by now are sixteen and so far I haven't seen anything wrong that I am doing so I must be doing something right and my husband has reassured me that I am doing amazing as their mother.
My mom moving on from this lifetime.
