WHAT SCARES YOU THE MOST?
Posts
Death is the first thing that comes to mind. Being that I don't follow any particular religion and generally assume that God doesn't exist, I don't have that safety net of thinking I'll go to some happy wonderland when I croak. It's hard, as a consciousness, to grasp what it would be like to suddenly cease to exist.
The other big ones are getting sick (since I am a hypchondriac) and hospital equipment/hospitals themselves/medical smells. This can prove to be a fairly shitty combination at the best of times.
One last thing is that I get really uncomfortable at the sight of large amounts of blood. I guess everybody does, really, since that's a sensible thing to dislike. It's not my own blood or the blood of others though, or even heavy bleeding, there would have to be giant vats full of blood for me to get uncomfortable. (As an example: One episode of Bizarre Foods showcases a bloodcake producing kitchen. There are big tanks of cow blood everywhere. Nope.)

What scares me the most is that I could miss some things in this life which makes it worth living. That's why I'm trying everything, even things people won't approve of.
Detective Finger Fapman scares me.
Death isn't the scariest thing. While I don't believe in any gods I also think it's near sighted to rule out the possibility of afterlife(a non-spiritual scientific afterlife). And even then I don't really care either way whether there's an afterlife or not.
However, torture is different. Ever hear the saying "Show him a pain worse than death"? I might rather die than get castrated and left starving to death in a dungeon. If given the choice.

I have a huge fear of swarms of insects or small animals. Especially airborne ones like locus and bees.
for as far back as I remember I've had recurring nightmares, both awake and asleep, in which I think too loudly (which is unfortunately the only way I can put it that makes any sort of sense) and in thinking about that thought (to try and suppress it) create an unstoppable feedback loop that somehow destroys everything. the colour green figures prominently for some reason, and the sensation that my tongue has swollen.
this scared me much more when I was younger, though. since then I've come to terms with the fact that I can't control what's inside my own head and it's very unlikely that I can destroy everything with my mind.
plenty of things weird me out or make me uncomfortable besides that, but that's pretty much the only thing that's ever really terrified me for a reason. I had an anxiety disorder as a kid and I spent so much time half-insane from a mindless, directionless terror with nothing behind it that I think I've just burnt out that part of me entirely.
