My biggest fear is the extinction of man. Some day we won't be on Earth anymore and there are only two scenarios for our progeny: they don't exist or they are elsewhere. I don't consider it something so imminently dire that we need to stop everything else and build a launch arcology but actions like nixing the manned space program aren't helpful, and in general I wish modern American culture put more emphasis on science and technology. I am not afraid of the end of the universe itself, because it is (probably) something we can never have any influence on, if such a thing can even occur.
And when that day comes...no one on the earth today is going to be there by then, not because of extinction, but because of natural causes like old age and getting eaten, or war/murder/suicide. And what are you saying about the manned space program, tell me something else you don't like about it?*holds knife up to his neck*Come on, just say it and see what happens(DON'T...DIS...SPACE!)

It doesn't take an emo faggot to see the world is shit.
Just because someone has a negative and bleak worldview does not place them into the category of a silly fashion trend that somehow became popular in 2006 only to be quickly effaced by scene and hipster cultures.
Some level of respect would be nice, if only a common courtesy shown in a topic where it was meant that we were to discuss our fears, and a level of vulnerability was displayed. I regret these actions as I see that once more when you show any sides of your weaknesses in front of others they're going to be quick to mock and judge you.
Thank you for inspiring hope in humanity.
Wow, someone on the internet has feelings. Alert the media. They must be a leftover from the emo generation.

Well to be fair Dorian, just talking about how everything is shit isn't really going to change anything. And with the mindset that your displaying right now in your posts, I do have to wonder how you survive in everyday activities. Sure I think the world is shitty as well but I don't post in internet fourms saying how we're all a bunch of unredeemable assholes who deserve to die, that's just counter productive.
What you should be doing is to lead by example and inspire people into becoming better human beings. It's a natural human response to focus on all the bad stuff happening across the world and to simply ignore the overwhelming good that we've achieved so far.

Assume nothing, sir.
For all you know, that might be what I am doing, only I have chosen this moment to confess some weaknesses here in this forum.
For all you know, I do try in other areas and aspects of my life, but this is an isolated instance.
We judge so quickly and so easily.
Interesting.
There is of course, also the issues with the fact that none of us knows each other. We're all strangers here who have all walked through our own periods of pain and have dealt with them accordingly. Everyone suffers in life, it's the truth.
Personally, I don't want to tell anyone what they should and shouldn't do, as I have no idea what it is that caused that person to fall into that mindset. I've no idea what they've overcome, and what has nearly destroyed them.

My personal fear is driving. I avoid it at almost all cost, and am on my longest streak yet of about three years. It bothers me so much that if I'm a passenger, I prefer to sit in the backseat so I don't have to watch, though I'll use the passenger seat if it's just two of us. I acknowledge that it's irrational, but it doesn't make it any better. This is one of the big reasons I choose to live in the city where mass transit is accessible for day-to-day living.
Massive agree. I didn't think anyone else felt this way.

Your failure to link the words "launch arcology" to Iron Gaia has been noted. ; )

Death, heights, and spiders. I'm essentially just a giant stereotype when it comes to fears.

I'm a very healthy person and I'm afraid of severe illness.
It's the fear of losing something that is dear to you.
I think a lot of people share that fear.

If the world were at peace, man would only learn one thing, and that is to stay equal with their brethren. Is it not human nature to rise to greatness from a lesser state, and to learn as much as the world has to offer?

I have a fear of rejection and a fear of failure or being a disappointment. I also have a fear of abandonment. Well and I also fear physical altercations of any kind.... I hate fighting. Ahaha.

I have anxiety disorder, so I'm afraid of most things irrationally. Have been since I was a kid. But there are definitely things that have scared me the most all my life.
The ocean, for one. I can deal with tornadoes, hurricanes, etc... but a Tsunami or even getting caught in a rift? Oh no. I love water, but I don't like being IN water, if that makes any sense. I don't like knowing if I am in an instance where I could be swimming one second and drowning the next. Plus, the vastness of it is just... incredible, really. The power of it frightens me.
After death. I think we all fear this deep down somewhere in our hearts though. Some have accepted their beliefs while others have not. For me, though I do have christian views on the after death, does not mean I am not scared of it. It is hard to imagine heaven, or nothing at all, after living on earth. Either one is equally unsettling. Reincarnation even moreso because I would never want to unwillingly forget the people I have invested so much of my love into. Perhaps not knowing is better than knowing at all.
And I'm terrified of airports. Which may be the weirdest one. This was a fear that kind of developed as I got older. Airports has always represented someone I love leaving me. Because honestly, people don't go the airport if a distant childhood friend is leaving town that you haven't talked to for 8 years to say goodbye to. They go because someone they love or are close to is leaving and you want to spend every last second with them if you can. I suppose this is more personal as every trip I've had at an airport has been emotionally exhausted and hurtful. The idea of even being at one brings back so many sore memories I just start freaking out and don't want to go inside. The overwhelming feeling of loss and loneliness just kills me.

You will be rejected by me, you will fail all of RMN(boo!), you're avatar is a disappointment, you will be banned from RMN one day , therefor, abandoned by RMN, and I will kill you afterwards... ^_^ don't run...

I am an agoraphobe. So I am afraid of both wide open spaces, and also crowds of people. I think a big part of it is not knowing what is right behind me. In a crowd there is no way to see everyone who is around you so there are people right behind me that I can't see. In wide open spaces I'm unable to see the stuff right behind me as well.

Heights. My wife made me ride the Dr. Doom ride with her at Universal Studios -one of those damned lift you up and drop you rides- and I screamed like a little girl all the way up and down.
I'd have to say physical confrontation, especially in the context of defending my loved ones. I am not especially scared of getting hurt myself, but I know I'm not the most physically formidable person in the world and that if put in a situation where I had to defend the people I care about that I might not be able to do it.
Oh...and the ghost girl from the Grudge. I hate her....

I know, but it was just a joke, and really, alot of that stuff wasn't true, like do you think SHE would get banned? And her avatar is ANIME! WHAT'S NOT COOL ABOUT THAT! IT'S AN AWESOMELY CUTE ANIME GIRL! And I kill her, I will get arrested ^_^, I don't plan on going to jail during anytime in my life ^_^. And I can't reject her if I barely know her, I would have to know her more to reject her! And how the hell can you fail at a place full of fail? JK about that last part, but still, does that avatar have a face that looks like a failure to this site?
