What causes of death were you scared of when you were a child?

[Anonymous]

Mine was being buried alive in the casket.

Falling. I still have recurring dreams where I fall to my death. Sometimes I accidently drive off a cliff or broken bridge, sometimes it's a broken elevator, but I always know I'm going to die and it's a long fall. I even fell out of bed a few times when I was little. In every scenario, I pray to God that's it's a bad dream and wake up every time. Creepy!

[Lyndsielee666]

I helped take of my grandma when she dying of cancer. I was seven and absolutely horrified I’d die the same way. Still scared of it tbh.

[Hellodownthere]

Falling from a great height and going splat. I was scared of heights when I was small. I'm not now but I was then. I never climbed trees or anything like that.

Your answer made me think if this funny sketch...

Anyway, I was afraid of being sucked up into a tornado.

That one random person would give me a shot of heroin while walking somewhere and I would overdose or get a serious illness like HIV or something.

[AviatorTom]

I was afraid of dying in a car accident, especially after I was in one (my mother was driving) when I was 7 yo.

I never even thought about death when I was a kid. I WAS concerned about later in life when I went to Heaven, that if I was inside our house at the time, that the ceiling would prevent me from GETTING to Heaven. (nutty childhood concerns)

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Drowning and burning alive. Only two death I am even remotely afraid of.

[cth96190]

None.
Before the age of 10 I was contemplating different ways to commit suicide.
So, no, death did not bother me.

[MCheetah]

I was not only not afraid of death when I was a child, but I welcomed it. Hell, I still kinda do.

[menina]

Mine was dying in a car accident and I'm still afraid of it.

[rocksongwriter]

Drowning.

Now, interestingly, I fear both drowning and dying by dehydration.

[genericname85]

suffocating. cause that was most relatable to me having asthma.

[Asker]

My aunt has asmtha too.
Do you have weak sense of taste and smell?

[genericname85]

i do not have the best smelling sense but i don't think my tasting is bad. i'm also a mouth breather because of it and i hate that, cause it comes with certain problems.

[Asker]

What was it caused by?

[genericname85]

well firstly the bad sense of smelling, cause i hardly use it. and secondly it causes a overbite that is very typical for mouth breathers.

[genericname85]

it actually messes with the entire facial structure a littele. now i got lucky, cause i have good genes but for some people it makes them really look quite undesirable.

[Asker]

I mean what caused asmtha.
My aunt had allergy. She didn't treat it which caused asmtha later

[genericname85]

I have no idea. I'm my memory, i just always had this. I have allergies too but i think it's unrelated to my asthma. The best theory i have is, that it was caused by one of the many vaccines young children get. But we'll... I rather have asthma than polio.

[globetrotter22]

Being abducted by aliens to never be seen again was a horrifying thought.

[exitseven]

I never really thought about it much. I was actually pretty fearless.

[TrillXHippy]

When I was a child I wasn’t thinking about causes of death so none

[EaterPeter]

It was and is still same as yours, drowning, shortness of breath sob

[fireforeffect]

We never thought about death as a child. we were having too much fun playing kick the can!
