    I'm afraid of height and closed spaces. Like elevator and such. I hate to get on elevator when I'm alone because it always freaks me out.

    I am more worried about not being able to be successful in something. I have been uncertain about my future since I was born. Its sad I have had bad luck with lots of things and it was to a point where I did not want to be in school. To me life is just one big negative stress ball that hits you where it hurts. Me though I am just unemployed and have been looking for work for over a year with no luck.

    I'm fearful of dying without living up to my potential. I don't fear death, but I do fear wasting my life. There are challenges that are preventing me from my goals. I don't want to run out of time before I can conquer or move past these challenges.

    Sometimes I fear that something wrong happen to my kids, but it's not something that occupies my mind too much time, I am an optimistic.

    I am sorry to hear that. I hope things get better for you. I hope you figure out what you want to do, where you want to be, and what you need to do to get there.

    Losing my job so I can't afford to pay for my family would be a disaster.

    I would also say that becoming long time unemployed would be my fear. Then it would be tough to pay the bills. Luckily I have savings if I end up getting laid off.

    My fear is something that I believe a ton of service members fear. I am enlisted in the Marines and will be shipping out next June, and I'll be away for quite sometime. I trust my girlfriend, but for some reason I fear that she'll probably replace me with someone else that she can actually see every day. I pray that it does not happen, but that's my absolute worst fear.

    My fear is becoming an inadequate parent. I do not have any children yet but I have seen first hand how children can suffer by the choices or lack thereof made my parents. No one is perfect and that is where part of my fear comes from. Most children are resilient and can get through some situations in a positive way but there are many who get lost when things are happening at home, the parent are not listening or just not emotionally present. Children need strong guidance and examples and I hope one day I can be just that for my children.

    I fear of leaving my comfort zone, but don't we all? After we lose the fear good things might happen though. ;)
