What Is One Of Your Biggest Fears? (Ended)

Hey Pandas, I am wondering what one of your biggest fears are. Share your thoughts with your fellow pandas!

This post may include affiliate links.

Dead things. I know it’s irrational, but if I see a dead animal that’s bigger than the average spider, I freak out. I have a hard time even going to funerals. I know it’s a Stupid fear, but I’ve always had it. (Also, could some one tell me how to make an all pandas post I want too but I have no idea how)

Okay... first who da fq is downvoting ppl sharing their biggest fears? Like wth? Secondly, being left alone. It's happened a lot and those were the worst times ever. Like being left alone when I don't want to be, people leaving me behind, ext. I don't really have any other fears besides that.

I hope I never have to find out lol. I know where the fear stems from. When I was about 8 a few of us was at a friends house playing in their pool. I wasn't the best swimmer so I always stayed in the shallow end. They all knew this but one of them pushed me in the deep end. I was trying to call for help and it seemed like forever but finally another friend helped and pulled me into the shallows. I stopped being friends with the person who pushed me in. I also fear being burnt alive too.

I used to hold onto the side of the public pool and sink to the bottom. Then hurry back up and grab the side at the top. I’d keep sliding along, going deeper. Until I could sink and recover from the deepest point. 33 feet!!! And I did this all by myself aged 11. If you’re talking the ocean? Forget it! We won’t even see DEEP! A shark will get us first !

Sharks don’t bother me coz on average 87 people die annually from drowning in Australian beaches but an average of 1.5 people are attacked annually by sharks in Australia. Also very rarely does a shark actually eat a person, the person is more likely to die from blood loss or drowning.

Dying alone. I am 56 and have been alone my entire life. Bullied by family, coworkers, my entire life. I wonder what the point is anymore. Why I exist at all.
I can picture myself being an old lady living her entire life just watching TV and only leaving the house to grocery shop.

sup- fellow closeted person here (lol), please don't lose hope! unless your parents have expressed clear homophobic behavior, I would not be scared- and even if they do, there is a good chance they will change their minds because you are their child and especially if they educate you. furthermore, you absolutely DO NOT have to come out before you're ready, if that means either 18 or 49. do what's right for you! and remember, even if they end up not accepting you, there are people in similar situations as you and we got your back.

RATS. Freaking rats. My irrational fear started when i watched a tv program when i was 6-8 years old (not sure). There was a man who hung upside down. He was forced to wear a black bag around his face and that was tied with a rope. And hungry RATS were put inside that BAG. He started screeching and yelling out in pain for an hour (HOUR). The bag was removed with the now satisfied rats and the man's face was completely CHEWED OFF! That show ruined anything I ever thought about rats and gave me recurring nightmares. And that's how I am scared of rats for a little more than a decade now. p.s.the fact that there were a lot of rats where I lived didn't help at all.

Freakin SPIDERS!!! I was really bad about them in my younger years. I have nightmares that I'm locked in a room with high ceilings and there a thousands of them of all sizes all over the ceiling and walls. When they start repelling from the ceiling in their little commando tactical gear (irrational I know but it's my fucking dream) I can never get away from them no matter what weapons I have. When I was a little kid, one of my jackass brothers would grab a piece of lint off the carpet and throw it at me yelling "Spider!" I would scream and run then we would hear my mom yell "Rick, quit throwing lint on your sister!" Yeah, good times. I eventually got even with him but that is for another time.

When I was young, I was freaked out by spiders. I taught myself to not be afraid of spiders over the years. Now spiders no longer freak me out. In fact, I've learnt to love spiders; they eat flies. I hate flies. Had a spider in my house so i picked it up and put it outside, unfortunately I accidently slightly crushed it whilst putting it down and I killed it, I was distraught. Also, here's an interesting fact, the reason why we are afraid of spiders might be an instinct thing, but it's also attributed to something called the 'uncanny valley': They are completely unlike us, eight legs, lay eggs, multiple eyes, live on webs, their anatomy etc. Whereas we are (generally) not afraid of say, Cats; four legs, we have four limbs, they give birth to live young, as do we, two eyes, like us, etc.

Hi Madison. This too is something I can completely relate to; if I've done nothing during a day, even on a day off, I feel I’ve not achieved anything; therefore, the day has been lost. I think about The Myth of Sisyphus. I recommend reading Albert Camus's 'The Myth of Sisyphus'.

This is a time of grief for you. Life is your own journey no one can walk for you. You will suffer more by thinking about past and future. Best thing is always stay in the current moment. This is the moment you live.

Stop thinking what happened in the past or what will happen in future. Think only about the current moment. By doing this you start addressing the immediate necessities. Address them based on your experience and situation. Always plan to improve yourself.

Take your pets in for regular check ups. If they are eating, sleeping, playing and eliminating normally you can assume they're fine. If they are ill, with no hope of recovery, talk to the vet about what the merciful thing to do is. Animals shouldn't suffer so we can have them longer. The kindest thing to do is let them go when it's their time.

I'm a very anxious person in the first place, but hoooohhhh lordy reading these resurfaced so many fears I forgot I had, lmao. My top fear (I think...?) is being vulnerable. I'm scared of opening up to and trusting people with my emotions, because last time I trusted someone, I experienced something that should never happened to an innocent, 4 year old girl. I also have a kind-of fear of asking for help from others, especially when I really need it.
My 2nd is being alone, all by myself, and left with my thoughts. I'm scared of what I might do to myself, because I really depend on others to distract me from my thoughts. I can't stand the thought of not having someone to have by my side, to talk to, to support each other.
#3 is probably failing and having to come back to my father with the failure. He is really narcissistic, and just is horrible with dealing with the failure of people he knows. When someone he knows fails at something, it makes him think less of them, and he talks about it and jokes about them behind their backs. He mocks me and my sister if we do badly at something, and he yells at us and complains (VERY loudly) about it to our stepmom while we're a room away.
4th fear is becoming like him. I'm horrified of that, because sometimes narcissism runs in genes, and both me and my sister are actually scared of becoming like him, and picking up/developing some of his traits, haha. I fear this even more, because I've already found myself showing little hints of his personality.
My 5th fear is not being able to protect the people I love. I wasn't able to protect myself the 1 time I really needed to, and I can't stand thinking about anyone I know and love facing something so horrible and not being able to feel safe. I've always been a little on the naturally stronger side, so I can protect myself more now, but I couldn't back then. On the plus side, I'm working out to get stronger. I just want everyone to feel safe where they are, without having to worry about being assaulted/killed/hurt.
My 6th and probably last fear might be drowning. There's really not a really effective way to get out of the situation of which you're drowning. You're under the water, and no one's going to see you unless they've got a sharp eye. The chances of you pulling through decrease exponentially the longer you're under water. No thanks, not my cup of tea, lmao.

When I was in the Marines we had a presentation about fear. It was discussed a lot. This presentation was particularly about going into battle and how it was normal to experience fear and how to cope with it. The Marine presenting did a great job of normalizing fear and reassuring Marines that they didn't have to suppress emotions; that we could all rely on each other. He asked several people to discuss things they are afraid of. When he asked one hardened Master Sergeant, the MSgt replied, "I ain't scared a shit". I believe him. I've tried to reach that goal ever since then. I feel that I'm close.

I've always hated spiders that I don't know. I'll be uncomfortable if one of my teachers/friends owns a pet spider, but it isn't that bad.

Looking for a spider in a garage though.... It scares me beyond belief. I know they're supposed to be 'helpful' and all, but when my dad found a huge black widow....eghhh

I have a giant fear of failure. It sucks because whenever I fail I absolutely breakdown for about an hour.

Drowning. I even panicked during my baptism at age 7 (Baptist-they fully submerge you). I never learned how to swim and I'm still afraid to learn. I've been in pools many times, so that is facing my fear a bit. 10 years ago, I braved going down a water slide, and panicked because I couldn't feel the bottom of the pool after I came up (I was told it was not that deep). I had hit my head on the bottom of the pool, but didn't know it until the next day, when I found a large bump on my head. No more water slides for me!

My fear is being stuck in a tube not being able to move with my hands down by my sides all alone. Left to rot but worst of all, having an itch and not able to get to it!

Whaaaat? But on other posts you were saying how "Oh, failure is nothing, just brush it off cuz you're still a great person", while here, your fear is that you're not good enough? Duuuuuude

Basements. It's one of my triggers still too. Unless it's furnished I don't handle basements well. So much fun considering I live in Tornado Alley. I've legitimately had to argue with myself out loud about taking shelter before.

I also fear heights...well more the sensations of falling. The height itself makes me nervous more than scared. I know everyone keeps telling me the landing hurts worse but that but wrenching sensation while you fall gets to me.

Those are my big two.

Finished basements don't look scary. Furnished, lighting. It's the ones with unpainted splintery wood and open stairs that are on tv or in the movies. Not much light and old junk. They're supposed to scare you.

One of my biggest fears are of spiders. Even if a spider is on the ceiling I freak. Also, when I have something over my face like a face mask I feel like I can’t breath.

Outdoorsy person here-- lots of normal fears about either myself or my partner getting hurt while climbing or mountaineering (my partner fell down a crevasse two years ago). One of my more unreasonable fears, though, is falling into a pit toilet (like the ones at campgrounds and trailheads).

My greatest fear is bees and wasps, ok the reasoning when I was a smol kid I was playing around in my backyard and I saw a bug. (I was big into bus then) It was a wasp. I tried to grab it (I didn’t know what it was) I made it mad it flew straight at me. It stung me like an inch away from my eye.
