I don’t really have a biggest fear. So I’ll just tell a story of a friend that hates snakes. He so terrified of snakes that if you just mention then he cringes. But one time while floating the river I got him to overcome his fear and hold a snake for the first time.

I would haft to say my biggest fear in life is not to live my life to the fullest. I have met many people in my life that have told me there biggest regret in life is to not have done something they really wanted. After hearing so many people say that I have become scared that if I don’t live my life how I want and doing the things I want I will regret it later and that scares me. Whenever I have not done something I really wanted I always try to go back and do it if it bothers me later.

My biggest fear is spiders. The reason I'm so scared of them is because they have eight legs and most of them are poisonous and I don't want to roll over and get bit and never wake up again. I have encountered many scary situations with spiders but the one I remember the best is that when I was at my foster mom's house she had let my older brother hold her taurantula and after a while she put it away to feed it, I wanted to see it moved and me being a 5 year old I tapped on the glass and it ran at me and attacked the glass and I swear I've never ran so fast in my life. I have overcame this fear enough to where I can kill a spider but I still freak out if they are near or on me.

spiders are basically the scariest things that have ever existed. They have way too many legs, any more than two is just excessive.

My biggest fear is spiders, they are natural freaks of nature that shouldn't exist. I feel that I am afraid of them because it is natural human nature to be afraid of things that are deadly. They get everywhere, they're creepier than they have any right to be, and they shouldn't exist.

My biggest fear is to be kidnapped. This is my biggest fear because I wouldn't be able to live my life. I would be in a foreign place and not know what to do or how to except without getting killed. I have never had an experience where I was kidnapped.

Honestly I don’t have a biggest fear only because I am probably afraid of everything. Mostly scary bugs and horrible things scare me. Or being suffocated is one of my biggest fear. Not being able to breath is very scary and you feel like you don’t have any power and are being held down by something you might not be able to control

I think one of my biggest fears is losing my close pals. This is because they always are there for me and help me with things i could not do on my own. I've never had to face this fear as we all are still in Salmon. I know I can count on seeing them every Saturday because Saturdays are ferda boizzz.

My biggest fear is messing up for the people that support me, I wouldn't be anywhere without the people that have always been there and supported me so to mess up for them or in front of them scares me pretty bad. Also losing the close ones, after seeing things it makes you realize you never know when the last time you will see a person for the last time. Were never guaranteed tomorrow.

My biggest fear is not being the perfect version of myself that everyone thinks I should be. I feel like I would make everyone disappointed if I didn't do what everyone wants me to. I constantly get told by so many people that I should go to a specific school and end up running my own business.

I don't feel like I have a true fear. At least one that I have not found yet. I am sure there is something that will come up at sometime in my future. Maybe it will be when I have a family of my own or the family I have now and the loss of them would be horrible. It would be hard to deal with that loss.

My biggest fears are either spiders or not living my life up to my potential. When I was little, I was never scared of spiders. Until I went to California and oh my gosh they have the biggest spiders and they were everywhere! I had a huge anxiety attack about them and I’ve never had an anxiety attack before. Ever since then I’m deathly afraid of spiders. Not living my life the way I want it to be scares me as well. You only have one life and you might as well make it fun and do everything you possibly can!

One of my biggest fears is spiders. I don't know why i'm so scared of them; it's probably the feeling of their legs and knowing they can run across you anytime. I've never been able to get over my fear but I do remember not being afraid when I was younger. My fear is so intense that my parents say I can spot a spider a mile away and I spray my room with spider replant every month since I was 13.

my biggest fear is being alone in life. i hate being alone or feelings lonely and i always need someone to be around. i think deep down i just don’t want to be abandoned by the people i care about. abandonment is definitely the root of this fear. i’ve had to experience this fear a few times in life.

My biggest fear is either drowning or birds. Birds are mean animals and always fly way to close to you and always gotta be in the way. My mom has a pet parrot and he’s nice and likes to talk other than he’s mean to just me. Birds are always attacking people and pooping on everything.

My biggest fear is snakes any kind of snakes. They're just sneaky guys and always wait till you're real close to let you know that they are there. Most of all my encounters with this fear end the same way with me killing them.

My greatest fear would probably be losing the ones I love the most. I say this because those people are the ones I trust the most. And I feel like if I lost them I wouldn’t know what to do with myself. Because they’ve been there for me for everything.

I don't know what my biggest fear is, but I would be afraid of losing the people I care about. This fear is very common because it is people around you that make you who you are and without them you can feel like nothing. I have never experienced this fear except in dreams.
