Just been tooling around on YouTube watching shorts or homemade videos that are supposed to be creepy or scary and not much is doing it for me and I just started thinking “what AM I afraid of?” And I can’t come up with a real solid, definitive answer, so I was wondering what others thought.

Is it something supernatural, like ghosts or zombies?

Is it something religious like possession or demons?

Is it something real like spiders or clowns?

Is it the fear of a situation, like being stuck in a small space or heights?

Is it the fear of an event like a death or an injury?

WHY is it a fear?

Just a curiosity for what does it for you.

Basically something horrible happening to me or a loved one that I can't prevent/control. Like some awful disease ect.


Also snakes.....screw snakes.

I turned 40 a couple years ago. I never thought I would be 40. Now I’m scared of getting old.

Buried or stuck alive. Or stuck in something, like crawling through a small cave. Siblings made a tunnel through hay bales only one layer deep and I definitely had a panic attack part way through. They pulled off the top bales which was very kind when it comes to siblings.

I am more scared of not getting old.

Most terrified of something happening to my kids, even the adult ones away from home. Always watching for disasters where they are.

And bats, the flying rodentia kind.

Quicksand.
You're playing and you think everything is going fine. Then one thing goes wrong. And then another. And another. You try to fight back, but the harder you fight, the deeper you sink. Until you can't move... you can't breathe... because you're in over your head. Like quicksand.

Testifying
I’m not afraid of death so much, I’m afraid of no afterlife. We lost a child at birth, it’s been brutal on me, and I anticipate it will be every day for the rest of my life. The chance of meeting him again is my only concern now in regards to my own soul.

Hope I didn’t go too deep on you all.
