We have the things I love and the things I hate threads. What about things I fear.

I guess I'll kick it off.
I'm afraid of failure. I see the huge amount of success my parents and mentors have achieved in their endeavors and I fear that I will not reach those levels of awesmoness.

    In all seriousness I do have a healthy fear of failure. It drives me and makes me want to be the best at what I do. And fear of not doing justice to the memory of my friends who have given their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan in defense of our country.

    big +1 on failure. As both of you know, I decided to quit my retail job over a year ago to persue my passion for sound engineering. Everyday I wonder if it is going to pan out. Pretty much everything in my life is on hold like moving out and getting married until I get my career going. Scared. To. Death lol

    I fear seeing a close friend be hurt in an high voltage accident. Again.

    Death-----but not actually death, just the anxiety I get every few years that manifests itself as a fear of death.......Sorry if that was too deep a look into my psyche.

    My biggest fear is ending up a homeless, toothless, crackhead with no family or friends! I literally try to imagine myself this way in order to drive me to succeed and never give up. Sometimes. Not always. I'm not a big fan of fear driven motivation, but I do use it from time to time when things really get tough.

    I fear and hope that this does not happen: My children not ever calling or coming around. They are my world. I want them independent and living their own lives, just give us a call and visit ever so often.

    Fear itself?

    This may sound like a joke, but I really do fear that Albert "The Machine" Pujols is going to choke this 2012 season.

    I'm not afraid of death, I was clinically dead for 14 minutes after a car accident in '98, but I AM afraid of dying alone...

    I've been shot at. That scared the CRAP outta me!

    What I fear the most is that I may never be able to work productively again. I am having difficulty as a student (due to an injury 7 years ago), and I have no idea how I will manage to hold a job once I graduate. It just scares me
