We are all afraid of something. Even the strongest of the strong fear something? My biggest fear is failure. I am always afraid that I will fail at something that I am trying to do. What about you?

Being scared of failure is a good thing I think as it means that you will always work hard at whatever you do in life My biggest fear is losing my parents - love them to bits.

Yeah, I do work very hard to do things in my life, but there are tims when my fear also holds me back. It took me almost a year, and a lot of encouragement to go back to school to take a vocational class. I would be lost without my parents, but that is something that I expect tohappen later in my life, o I don't really fear that.

I understand. Fear is a good thing but sometimes a very bad thing, especially if it does hold you back. Good luck with everything you do!

My biggest fear is losing my child or my husband. I don't want to have to live life without either one of them. My little girl has diabetes and I worry about her all the time. My husband cheated a year ago and I worry about him all the time. I hate it. I wish I could just be in peace.

It is a very difficult thing to get over. But in time the trust can be regained. Try and relax and take a few deep breathe when the worrying starts. I find that it sometimes helps. TC Shell

Both are hard to deal with, but try not to worry too much. You can do your best to keep your daughter as safe and healthy as possible, and I am sure you do. As far as your husband, I agree, if he proves that he will not cheat again, trust can be regained over time, but you should try not to worry too much because in the end, you cannot control what he does.

Mine is one step farther than you... I'm afraid to make mistakes and usually ends up not doing anything because of the 'random factor' pertaining to a situation or it would take me too long to make a move because I'll be "over analyzing" it.

Mistakes are a part of life. I think that they are important for us to learn from. I understand where you are coming from though. It's like, if I do this and mess up, this could happen, but if I don't do anything, nothing bad will happen at all. Try this to help you, rather than thinking about what could go wrong, try focusing on what could go right. That may make a difference for you.

I'm most afraid of losing someone I dearly love. I have lost grandparents...that's a normal part of life and, while it's painful, it's expected and something that you're prepared for. My husband lost his wife of 32 years when she was 50 from cancer. That is the most horrible loss. I have never experienced a loss like that and I'm so afraid that one day it will happen...either my husband, my parents or someone else. So, that's why I pray for everyone I love every night..for their continued good health and for God's grace in keeping them all with me.

Losing aloved one is hard, but when they are older that us, it is also expected that they will go first. I think that losing my son when he was so small made me reallt stop and thing about all of that, and though the thought of losing my parents or spouse is not pleasant and I amn ot sure what I would do without them, I have come to the decision that eventually, I will lose my parents and I should just enjoy all the time we have left together and never forget to tell them how much I love them.

The way I got over my fear of the dark was to keep telling myself that when I close my eyes at night and fall asleep, I am in the dark and it doesn't hurt. I had to do that for quite a while, but in the end, I am no longer afraid of the dark.

The fear of something in the dark. I don't like ghost/horror stories. __

My biggest fear is losing the things that are of importance to me. I would be devastated. Another on my list would be to die due to a fire. I had a friend pass away due to this and it totally devastated me. It is a time in my life that I will never forget.

Losing important things is something that many people are afraid of. It would be devastating to have someone close to you die at all, let alone in a fire. That would be horrifying. I can definately understand why that would be something you would fear.

I am afraid of doing something wrong to others without notice. I take care not to think extremely, not to offend people, but there might be occasions what I say may doing harm to others without notice. Say, in front of someone who has just lost her family members, I am talking joyfully about my happy experience with my family from the recent travel. When my friend told me about her sorrow, I will regret so much. That is what I would not like to see. I would do my double efforts to do some make ups.
