Is it harming yourself? Harming someone else? What is fear to you?

I think I fear getting careless, getting out of control. I fear being lost and unable to find my way. Maybe that's just me.

True fear is getting sexually assaulted by a man in a wheelchair and than having your favourite Internet Community member drop you as a friend shortly after.

I put up a very dark looking wall for two and a half years because of it, but it's been long since knocked down.

I think fear for me, is knowing you are not good enough, and thus distressing about the circumstances that will eventually bring upon you.

Unintentionally hurting or disappointing people...

I used to fear losing control/going crazy & hurting others but I'm a different person now. I think my biggest fear is hurting someone I really love. I unintentionally hurt someone I truly loved years ago & that pain & quilt is the worst I ever felt. I honestly would of rathered died the most painful death imaginable & spend eternity burning in hell than hurt her

Fear of the unknown is typically the most challenging fear. Once you know what you're facing, most people become resolute and rise to the challenge no matter how real the danger is.

My worst fear is physical incapacity. I'm so used to doing for myself and doing it my way, that I would not be able to bear being taken care of, even if by some miracle I could find someone who wanted to do so.
