My biggest fear would be spiders. I don’t know why but I just don’t like them.

I am absolutely terrified of spiders.

One of my biggest fears is time moving too fast. I’m a naturally patient person and when time moves fast to me I have an unnatural panic attack to it. This occurs when I plan for something and it comes faster than expected.

Yeah, time moving too fast can be pretty scary

I agree, I'm afraid that when I close my eyes I'll have gone forward 20 years or so.

My biggest fear is being in an abusive relationship. Not just romantic relationships but family and friend relationships too. I've watched how its messed up people who are close to me and it scares me because most of the time you dont even realize your in one.

I’m definitely afraid of that too, to the point where it’s hard to trust people enough.

Abusive relationships are not good

That is something that most of us won't think about when it comes to things that scare us.

I really don’t like snakes and have had many encounters with them. I’m pretty sure this is because they somehow know that I’m terrified of them. I don’t think I will ever overcome this fear.

That’s so cool

My greatest fear is weird bugs. Normal bugs with like 4-6 legs are okay but those weird ones with 67 legs are creeeeepy

Aimee

5/20/2019 10:10:08 am

Yeah, extra legs freak me out too.

One of my biggest fears is being afraid of heights. I don’t really know why I’m scared of heights. I think one of the main times that I’ve had to overcome this fear is when I’m helping my dad with stuff on the roof.

Kayla

Heights is a big one. I’m more afraid of falling than anything else though

Robyn

5/20/2019 10:14:05 am

Heights is a common one

Connor

My biggest fear is either heights or drowning, I have had incountera with height but I have done nothing to overcome them.

Cherish

5/20/2019 10:11:44 am

I’m afraid of heights too.

My biggest fear is failing in life. And not getting what I want in life. I had many encounter with my fear, but I overcome all of it in time.

Nate

5/20/2019 10:11:39 am

That sounds nice

Hailey Jo

5/20/2019 06:51:57 pm

I can relate to this fear.

Nick

5/21/2019 10:06:40 am

That’s something to be scared of for sure.

Robyn

My greatest fear is probably ending up living a boring, uneventful life, and having nothing to look back on when I'm an old person. Living in a stereotypical suburban house with a 9-5 job, working towards my retirement, working as an old lady in my gardent and with my grandkids, then dying with nothing interesting in my entire life.

Katelyn

5/20/2019 11:03:54 am

I definitely know how you feel about that for sure.

Kayla

I think my biggest fear would be losing my dad in a plain crash. He flies jets and it’s scary to think that something could go wrong. An encounter I had was a couple weeks ago when there was something wrong with the jet while he was flying. He ended up landing it safe and they fixed the problem but it’s still scary.

I have a fear of being buried alive. I hate small spaces and complete darkness so this would terrify me

Nick

5/21/2019 10:05:03 am

That would be scary.

Hailey Jo

My biggest fear is not being enough for my family/friends/boyfriend/etc. Because I do have so much respect for all those important people in my life and want to be the best for them because I know that’s what they deserve. And sometimes I don’t feel like enough, and that really scares me.

Nick

My biggest fear would be spiders.

My biggest fear is probably drowning. I had some close encounters when I was a kid but it didn't stop me from learning to swim and have fun in water.

Brenna

My biggest fear is losing my loved one. It scares me that I'll be alone when they pass away.
