I’d say maybe paralysis. I’m an athlete, I always have been, and I intend to remain one as long as my body will allow it. It’s my “raison d’être.” So the idea of not being able to use my body terrifies me, even before you get to the real life hardship, I can’t even get past the recreational impacts, lmao.

And as an athlete, I watch sports closely, and every once in a blue moon someone breaks their neck, even just locally at a high school level. A good friend of mine was shot as well, and he’s a quadriplegic now, he was one of the best athletes I’d ever known. So to see him go from Superman to a guy who can JUSSSSTTTTT move one of his arms enough to give some semblance of a handshake just guts you, man. I always played football, I heard of paralyzed guys when I was a kid, witnessed more as I’ve lived, even seen video of the injuries…. it’s not lost on you that it could happen to you. Now I’m playing hockey, and that’s another dangerous game, and in the past year or so TWO kids of only 18 or 19 were paralyzed while playing. I had a close call a couple weeks ago where I lost my balance and could’ve gone headfirst into the boards, and I luckily caught myself before the fall. Not saying that would’ve been the outcome, but I definitely was like “oh shit…. that almost got REAL.”

I don’t know, it’s just not an adjustment I’m built to make. I couldn’t even play sports VIDEO GAMES, let alone real sports, if that happened. So all that alone is my nightmare, before you get into the whole wheelchair ramps and special vans and needing professionals or loved ones to perform all of your hygienic upkeep😱 I just couldn’t do it. And worst, I wouldn’t even be able to kill myself. Imagine that. No way out, literally trapped. That’s definitely my worst fear.

Being accused of something I didn't do..

Had it happen to me in third grade, I got the paddle (twice) for cussing (I didn't)

I litteraly failed third grade because of it. I refused to talk to the teacher at all after that.

I ran into her as a adult thirty year later in public and made a big sceen telling her she was a child abuser and shouldn't be allowed to teach in front of hundreds of people.

I don't even know if she knew who I was.

Losing my partner. We have been together well over 5 years. He is a perfect guy.

I lost my dad when I was 11. My brother was 8. My mum was devastated. Took her years to come to terms with it. He was a perfect guy.

I don't want to go through the agony my mum went through. It scares the crap out of me that I will lose my guy.

I have two contesting fears.

I have thalassophobia, because I'm not a good swimmer and I can't see the threats below and I can't do much to stop an attack.

Another one is being raped and murdered, born out of experience with the former and was nearly a victim if the latter.

I'm not afraid of anything, pathologically
My father was an elite soldier of fortune.
He taught me martial arts
and how to survive alone in the woods
by literally dumping me in the woods for a week
That being said, some things you should be afraid of
Like snakes and poisonous spiders

Lmao, shouldn't you study about the Panellhnies, instead of spending your whole time online? Also why do you feel the need to post your profile picture on a Questions& answers forum? Fishing for compliments?

Losing my loved ones especially my partner. I saw my grandma lose my grandpa and I don’t want to ever go through that I’d rather die first I’m afraid of losing my parents, grandparents, my dog, etc.
