God & country

I really don't like spiders but I found out from a documentary that I watched that that's hard-wired into our little brains

I fear that the remainder of my life (40-50 more years, give or take) I will be unloved.

stroke! I've seen it happen to too many friends and it's horrible! Everything else is secondary.

Lack of money. Being alone and unable to afford the basics.

The propagation and growth of the cruel, totalitarian, oppressive, theocratic political ideology based on the teachings and example of "the prophet". It is not exclusively the extremism, but is the mainstream ideology, which is the threat.

Right now, it's watching my mother deteriorate, lack of money, poor health, and being alone. Kind of all overwhelming me at the moment.

Given that I'm not immortal it would be dieing before I have sorted some stuff out

Mine is escalators

3 men in a car.

Trump being re-elected

Spiders and snakes

That no one will respond to my post…

I refuse to live with fear. When a problem arises I go to war to solve it - and that includes health issues, money. Sometimes other people can be a snag, but I recognize that we must share the world with all sorts of people who live in different "worlds." I do not fear death as I approach that age. If I were to fear anything it would be the ignorance of the main stream propagated by corporate greed. In addition, I do fear for new generations that will suffer because of it due to climate change and all that will bring.

Of those listed, poor health seems the most fundamental. Without health, you don't ultimately have sex, money, or a gentle old age. Even death becomes a chore.

Do I actively fear it? I'm pretty good at not fearing things that aren't actionable -- that I don't have more than limited control over. I try to take care of myself with exercise and diet and good medical care, and beyond that, what happens, happens.

I can always fly to Switzerland or someplace like that and have myself put down if things get too bad. Or in a pinch, do for myself.

As WC Fields said to comfort a fellow traveler as they free-fell down a mountainside in a basket: "Don't worry, my dear, it's perfectly safe, except for the last couple of inches."

Long term irreparably broken life choices that only manifest years later

mine is very specific. My daughter is grown, and will be traveling for work. So, when she is away, I live alone with my disabled son, who is non-verbal.

So - my greatest fear... having something catestrophic happen to me; an injury, a heart attack, or just death... and my son sits alone in this house with his dead father for days, unable to contact or help, or do anything be be afraid.

The second part of that fear is for whomever (likely my daughter) that finds the scene.

Very specific, sure. Also too likely.

America turning into the Republic of Gilead.

Freakin' spiders. Nothing else.

Not being there for someone when they needed me most especially if it resulted in a loss or other catastrophic event

I can't choose one, but muslim extremists aren't on MY list lol. christian extremists are, but that's covered by rightwing nuts. i think i am afraid of getting sick with no one to take care of me, while my guy with alzheimer's has no one to take care of him once he loses me.

Not being a here for my daughter.

I don't want a lingering death. Death itself is fine. I've had friends pass with ALS, emphysema, and cancer. I've seen others struggle with crippling depression. It scares me.

My biggest fear is my daughter preceding me in death.

Losing a loved one.
