What's your worst fear?

[Carnivore]

Fear of death is really the only fear I understand. And even that I don't fully 'get'. You don't even understand what death is, or what happens after death. How can it be scary?

A lot of fears are mis-labeled. Fear of the dark is actually fear of the unknown. Fear of heights is actually fear of death, which is actually either fear of the unknown again, or fear of leaving loved ones.

Well, more death than the unknown. I enjoy existing, and would like to keep existing. The concept that I will cease to at some point is something I find disturbing. I see no evidence of an afterlife or reincarnation, meaning I will simply be nothing. I really don't want to be nothing. Being nothing is scary. I don't want to leave loved ones either, but that's a bit beside the point, I think.

Aaah, but you see, you don't know that you'll stop existing.

Of course, I see no evidence to suggest that either, but i think it's a tad bold to so brazenly assert such a thing.

Besides, even if there is no such afterlife... you will lack a consciousness. You won't 'feel' yourself as nothing. You know the feeling you have when you're asleep but not dreaming? That seemingly tiny period of time that seems to zip by so fast? Of course you don't. That would likely be exactly how 'not existing' is. Just nothing.

Not really fears of my own, but fears for my family, although i'm more of a hypochondriac after having cancer, but that's based on wanting to survive.

Embarrasment....

You won't believe how much thought went into that one-word answer...and I'm someone who can imagine horrors so hideous they'd make Malebolgia weep...

Spiders with wings. Sure they don't exist, but just imagine a Spider flying around your living room.

.....On second thought scratch that, I don't want to imagine such a thing!

Cessation of existence doesn't scare me at all. If it were proven to me beyond doubt that death is The End, that there is no existence afterwards, I'd be the happiest man alive. The thought of an Afterlife brings me no peace whatsoever (except that maybe justice is finally done for earthly atrocities)

I may be the only person who believes in God but also hopes there's no soul or afterlife...

After reading all these posts, I am reminded of a video I saw on youtube. I believe Bob Newhart can help here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow0lr63y4Mw

Suffocation is pretty scary

But my biggest fear has to be centipedes, fast, poisonous, and pretty viscous little creatures.
