What is the thing that terrifies you the most?
>>27383664
Failure. And those spiders in Dark Souls 2.
Dying tomorrow before I could do anything with my POS life. Also spiders.
>>27383676
This
I'm only 19 and I already feel like I'm failing
Forgetting things
Or being manipulated, not knowing enough to control myself
Basically not being in control, which relies on knowledge
Seems so precarious
Death
Sharks
Cougars
Spiders
>>27383664
That I'm actually retarded but no one will tell me
>>27383676
>failure
not exactly this, I'll definitely fail in life. It's more the situation that I'll be unable to cope with my failure
>>27383796
Pro tip: try not to compare yourself to other people too much. Some kid at a high school right by my old one made like $2 million off some phone app when she was a sophomore. I felt like killing myself because I wasn't as good as her but thinking about it now how could I be? That's a ridiculous standard to have held myself to.
>>27383664
The idea that my life could be a Truman Show style reality show and people are mocking my behavior. Particularly liberals who make wise crack responses to my posts on /pol/. Seriously, I make a /pol/tier opinion and I sometimes envision a group of young hipster liberals tearing me a part while sitting around a starbucks table with their witty liberal humor. Or alternatively to that, when I fap to porn I envision a group of old conservative people watching me and reacting with pure disgust.
Feels mentally unstable man. Though I know how ridiculous this sounds.
Apocalypses.
I'm scared of everything, it's hard to narrow it down. I'm petrified of going anywhere in life under the "more scared of life than death" doctrine, which is retarded for a multitude of reasons. The knowledge that it's fucking retarded does nothing to change it, which is convenient.
I'm going to have to say being tortured is number one.
>>27383664
Don't know if I can single out just one, but here are some things that come to mind
-getting a brain injury that makes me mentally retarded, where I'm still somewhat "aware" of my situation yet trapped in my own mental hell as everyone else is forced to take care of me
-a certain drug I may have taken in the past (anti depressants etc) having a permanent stunting effect on my emotional capacity. Or rather, something like alcohol killing my brain cells and not being able to process as much, while being aware of it (yes I know this isn't very likely, its not a rational fear but its there)
-that i'll go my entire life without ever having a girlfriend which seems like a real possibility. similarly, going through life while always feeling so isolated and alone and like I've missed out of anything. When I walk out amongst the world I don't want to always feel like these people are experiecing things that I can only dream of.
-if i never find a job i actually like doing, my current one feels like hell and is so boring, going into work is mind-numbing and i get these weird urges to hit my own head or run as far as i can
-and yes, spiders. there is just something unbelievable, viscerally freaky about them. When I see one all my senses seem to go into overdrive.

>>27383664
Disappointment
also spiders
and sharks
Being black out drunk and doing some horrible shit
>>27383664
I'm not fearless, but I'm not afraid of any specific concepts. It has to be something in the moment to make me scared.
>>27384384
Stephen king's recent book featured this. A character woke up from a black out and apparently he raped someone. Didnt even remember it and he got life in prison (was let out after like 30-40 years though). The idea of spending all that time in prison, without even remembering what you did, is pretty bone chilling to me.
Of course my concerns when being blackout drunk are simply revealing too much personal information.
Bigfoot looking at me from a dark window
Fuck
>>27383664
Why is no one afraid of space???
Dying like an idiot. If I do something worth dying for I don't mind so much, but the possibility of just getting fucked by a drunk driver or getting shot randomly or accidentally killing myself like an idiot scares the shit out of me. luckily I'm not retarded so it isn't something i think about all the time or am actually paranoid about.
>>27383664
Dying of a terminal illness alone.
They are legalizing assisted suicide in Canada though, so I think I'd just ask for someone to hold my hand until I wasn't conscious anymore
Some day between now and the day I die I will sit down to take a shit and a spider will walk across my balls
Judgement.
(oregano)
death, losing my memory, getting cancer
Thinking about my inexistence after death.
>>27383664
-death
-being in a vegetative state and having no one around to unplug me (its worse than death)
-the idea that my life might be fake, like the truman show, or im retarded and no one ever told me
-the fact that im not important, that im just one more human, and that even if i did something great and changed society in the end none of it would matter, basically im afraid of time and the universe.
>>27383664

>All these fags scared of death
I fucking hate robots so much.
>I-I'm a-s-scared of d-death
You don't deserve life, you fucking cowards.
>>27386103
Yeah I never understood this either with people
To be honest I rather have a heads up before I die so I can have a glass of water or some shit, something mundane like that
>>27386156
that's a pretty funny way to go, I'd just think of Michael Corleone at the end of Godfather III, just fall over in the chair.
>>27383664
getting crushed
dying in any way really
making a fool of myself
Watching people, particularly the ones I care about, die, and being completely unable to do anything about it.
The great thing is that this is a nightmare I've lived and will live again and again.
Not being able to be self sufficient
>>27383664
Aliens n ghosts :/
>>27383664
Is that ganon?
succeeding
I think it seriously strange to peer up and see eyes in the sky.
But it doesn't exactly terrify me.
I don't think anything terrifies me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEikGKDVsCc
I don't want my balls to be cut off. I guess. Or my eyes gouged.
But I don't think there is anything that disturbs me to be seen yet.
I implore anyone to do their worst.
Motherfucking bees
of any kind. Even a honeybee freaks me the fuck out. I've never been stung and I am not allergic.
>>27386903
What about being slowly transformed into someone who is easily terrified by things? If terror doesn't work then maybe meta-terror will do the trick.
having to move out of my parents house and be self-sufficient
>>27386967
Ohhh, I like your style. I'm there already.
I live in a constant state of existential dread.
I can count on my digits the amount of times this month I have been sure and certain my life's escapades and exploits could be silently orchestraited by an omniscient ambiguous deity who has about as much control over my life as a brain in a jar.
I frequently experience glitches in things in reality.
I can't trust my perception as much as I want it to.
Things and events occur in my influence and wake that cause ripples in the form of visible proovable forms of overt deja vu.
I just may be schizophrenic and not know it.
I know i'm self diagnosed with SPD.Schizotypal Personality Disorder
But to be certain I am not certain of anything.
Decartes has run his spanish cock throughout the innards of my mind.
Just because I think does not mean I am. Who knows for sure.
Everything, everything I know could be a fucking lie.
And i've capitalized off this assumption and internalized it in a way.
parodied it even.
Maybe, uh.
Maybe I live my fear every day, like that Billy and Mandy episode. If you know the one I like you already.
But nice scenario you've got there.
Meta terror envigors my being
>>27383664
That reality and existence are illusions, and that there's some incomprehensible madness behind it.
Most terrifying dream I ever had: It was my birthday, and for some reason I was having a party (don't even remember the last time that actually happened). Things were going great until something... Changed. It was like I was seeing the true presence under everything. Beings (the word djinn came to mind) crawling, slithering over the world and each other... They were if not quite malicious, its hard to describe. Like they just didn't care for life, but it was terrifying, literally. I would see it in flashes, and it drove me mad. I was going mad from fear and I knew it.
Then I woke up.

>>27387209
This is one of very few things that I am not afraid of, because at this point I've all but recognized it as truth
Though I am afraid of the implications that staying here might have
My body failing me.
Just the idea of a terrible disease downright terrifies me. I already have a slightly bad shoulder and knee from a wreck and the idea of needing to get one of those replaced in my 30's is horrifying. I dont like the idea of my body, which i once thought to be healthy and decent to fall apart on me.
>>27386103
>death is an illusion you fucking cowards. I am above fearing death
I bet the second you discover you have cancer or some dumb shit you'll cry like a bitch. Telling yourself you're better than others because you're 'not afraid of death' is only something you'll see from someone here. You just want to feel better about yourself by saying you're better than someone on r9k about something that doesn't matter.
>>27383664
Niggers and minorities in general scare me.
>>27384478
Most people have experienced gravity as being pretty reliable.
I used to be scared of shit, until I got a cat.
If anything tried to hurt my cat, I would obliterate it.
So whenever I get scared, I just imagine that being is threatening my kitty, and my fear is replaced with rage.
No one fucks with my baby, not even the voices in my head.
Fuck you, faggots.
>>27383664
dying. sucks so much.
I just want medicine and technology to create infinite life already. losing somebody you really love and like just because of the "life has to end" meme is fucking awful. just make that shit stop, senpai.
>>27387977
Get a load of this fucking faggot.
How do you get any work done with all those dicks in your mouth every day? How do you even see your computer screen?
>>27384139
You must be joking, you realize you chopped your dick off right?
>>27388078
lol, why you're so mad anyway?
you're not even making sense.
>>27384158
Mother nature is a stone bitch.
>>27388104
Death is a part of life, you stupid faggot.
Only normies value "muh existence".
Stupid faggot, you're nothing more than a lump of cells and chemicals.
You fucking die and rot in the ground, then your organic matter returns to the earth to end up in a tree or some shit.
You're not special, no one is special.
No one deserves to live forever.
The one necessity of life is death.
You're the kind of normie faggot that keeps a vegetable on life support for 10 years cus "life is byootiful"
Going insane or getting dementia.
Being poor when am over 50.
Getting raped if I went to prison.
Someone finding my porn collecting (no CP just embarrassing fetishes stuff).
Not scared of death. All my problems would go away if I died.

>What is the thing that terrifies you the most?
That my family and anyone else I have human contact with (so no one else) will find out about certain aspects of my past, that they will find everything on my computer, that they will discover my sexuality, that they will hear of my understandings of human nature which offend their dearly held gynocentric beliefs.
Mainly that people will see the real me.
Ending up homeless. Blindness. Loss of fingers or a hand. The solution to each of those is suicide.
I'm afraid of becoming nobody
It's already happened
Which explains why I feel like I'm living in a nightmare

Water i can't see into
Seeing myself through the eyes of other people.
>>27383664
Taking a girl out. And on the date not being able to spark up conversation or keep her interested through out the whole thing. It haunts me.
Death, I try to tell myself it's just like going into a dreamless sleep only you never wake up and that helps with the fear a little bit.
memory loss
it would make you basically a different person

>>27391257
The very concept of death is utterly terrifying, isn't it? I'm just glad I'm only 20, going to start worrying about it when I'm 40 or something.
Still, I find death to also be comforting. It is, after all, the supreme degree of justice. Even if someone somehow managed to, say, get super rich and abuse that money to be an evil person, or someone is a terrible dictator, corrupt politician, it doesn't matter. In the end we all face the same fate.

I don't see any point in life. I guess when you die either
>eternal blankness (like before you were born)

>simultaneously expierence all forms of life at once (become one with everything)
But I can't prove any of it so I don't care
>>27392040
Justice is merely a human concept. Death, being a circunstance of nature, is no familiar with a human's absurd and insignificant intricacies. In a sense, it is possible to believe that death provides justice - and perhaps a little pad of comfort for the naive and the weak miserables of this world - but with it also comes the abolishment of all the resentments and the sadnesses, the happinesses and the angrinesses, all the sad and happy emotions that pointlessly came and went in life forever extinguished in the cold fire of empty nothing that is death. I wouldn't count on death for being some sort of natural, revengeful spirit of ""justice"", no, I'd rather think of death as an end, fair, with no glory or cerimony involved, just an inevitable and inescapable fact.

Irukandji jellyfish were at one time thought to be in the northern waters of Australia only. Since then, according to a National Geographic documentary on jellyfish, the species has been found in waters as far north as the British Isles, Japan, and the Florida coast of the United States.

Going to Disney world. First time I went my fucking dog died when I got back. Third time going my grandma died a little bit before I went. This time my old favorite teacher from high school who was really cool got in a car crash and died. Every other time I go something awful happens to someone I like.

open fields, large malls, long roads are what I find unpleasant, not in a phobia way, just the fear of not being able to check everywhere, too much going on, that sort of thing, the lack of four walls I guess. like being on a hill, or on a boat/plane. fuck that.

Pretty much everyone has potential anon, what separates us from the normies is some sort of counter balance, not a lack of ability. We're autists, or socially broken, or just plain lazy.
I'd rather have no potential than live like this. I'd be more at peace. This is torture, like having food dangled over your head while you're starving. All the possibility is there, but no matter what I tell myself I'm ultimately going to keep repeating the same word.
"Tomorrow"

Dying without knowing what it feels like to have a real romantic relationship. Dying knowing I never accomplished any of the goals I wanted to in life. At the very least, I want to at least shoot up heroin, meth, cocaine, hydro & oxymorphone before I croak. I'd like to do a speedball & a goofball at least once, if I'm not going to accomplish any of the other things I wanted to do in life and be alone forever.
