We all have fears... and even if they say that all the fears come from the primal fear of death, still people have a lot of fears, different kinds of them.... so what are your fears/phobia?
My biggest personal fear is becoming dependent on anyone, financially, physically, etc. I want to always be able to support myself. Whoever I choose to have is my life is there because I WANT them to be in my life, not because I NEED them.
My biggest fear for the world is that people seem to be more and more interested in having governments that "take care" of us and have more power over us, while we all keep losing freedom and rights. I'm afraid that some day, the liberty and individual responsibility established by our founders will be just a "myth" from the past, and people will just be happy to have their lives planned for them.
Mine are mostly financial-related. Funny, as most of them are about to come true,
Losing my job.
Not having enough money to survive.
Not having a financial safety net inbetween jobs (qualifying for unemployment, mainly).
Going on welfare.
Not being able to find a good paying job if/when I lose a current one.
1) Losing or any harm coming to my child
2) Losing my income and savings and having no financial means - I'm a single parent and have no other family to rely on; mine is the only income. At least my son can go live with his dad if something like that were to happen, so he'll be covered.

Being attacked by a gang of stupid people or zombies (same difference).
My greatest fear is physical pain. It is at the root of all my other more minor fears.
This . The possibility of physical pain or other suffering (illness, hunger, thirst, cold) terrifies me to no end, and hence gives rise to a number of other phobias where my blood runs cold just at the thought - namely, earthquakes (fear of being stranded, injured/in pain and having to suffer through terrible survival conditions), illness and/or its treatment, like chemotherapy, car crashes...Death I couldn't care less about, as long as it's painless...I have zero fear of things like a deadly heart attack, but cancer scares the beejezus out of me..
Also terrified of anything happening to my child or parents...even though I know I'll need to deal with loss of a parent eventually, I just can't think about it...
Looking at my life and feeling like a failure is my biggest fear.
I don't want to look back on my life and feel like I compromised all of myself for others and didn't pursue my desires. I'm a curious person and I need to follow my heart. If I don't trust myself or my heart and forsake that for others opinions, views, etc, I always regret it. And that's a failure to me.
Dying alone and no one finds me for months....maybe a year later.
