What Scares You the Most in Life?

Does getting old scare you? Losing your job? Splitting up with your girl/boy friend. For me it would be becoming a vegetable, if I was involved in a terrible accident, the thought of having someone else to do everything for you would be the worst nightmare for me. I am very independent and it was be so degrading especially eating and going to the toilet.

To be alone, completely alone, on this wourld, without a relative. I can't live with the idea that, on day, I will lose my parents. I don't let others to know about this scare, of getting alone, because I like to lock secure of myself. But, sometimes, I'm not so secure as that that. As everyone else, it is good to feel that I may count with someone. And, sometimes, I like to be care, and not to take care. If I will be alone, completely alone, there will be no one else to who I may turn, when I need help.

An excellent response and rated, thank you. That is one thing that doesn't worry me being alone, I prefer my own company and would much rather to live alone, I'm too independent. You made some excellent points.

Thank you, for rate my response. It is good to be alone sometimes, I like it too. But, on my post, what I means is, to get completely alone, to lose all relatives we have, to know we don't have no one else. This is very scare to me. I try to say "no", or try to pass that image, but it make me scare. It is good to have someone. Sometimes, for some kind of reason, we all need another person to take care of us. I admire your independence. It is easy to realise that you are an independent person, from what you scare most.

Yeah I always get nervous if theres a petrol tanker in front of me, especially in the rain and all the water from them gushes at you. I don't have to worry about divorce, one comfort I suppose!

I'm not scared of getting old, because I know there'll be someone I can grow old with. I'm not scared of losing my job, because I know I can find another one. I'm also not scared of splitting up with my boyfriend. If we're really meant for each other, destiny will bring us back together. What scares me most is the thought of something bad happening to my loved ones. I would feel depressed and very lost. I'd rather be hurt than them. So I always ask God to keep all my loved ones safe.

What scares me the most, would be losing those whom I love. I'm not afraid of getting old, or dying.. I know we all have to go sometime. But I'm always afraid one of these days someone I cherish is going to leave me. I've dreamt about it, and it's a horrible feeling when I'm sleeping.. I can't imagine the real feeling.

I don't fear dying either, but I don't want it long drawn out. Yeah I would really fear losing my beloved mum, that would totally destroy me.
