I'm afraid a lot of things. A few of these are like typical fear of material things and a few of them are more mental or emotional, if that makes sense.
I'm afraid of scorpions, snakes, and basically anything that can kill you with poison. I don't know if this is fearing the animal itself, or a more subconscious fear of death.
I'd say my biggest fear in terms of phobia, is fear of heights. I cannot be sane, if I have to be near a railing or something near a high place. I literally stay a foot or two away from the railing unless absolutely mandatory. I don't think I've always had this fear, and I think I know when it started. When I was about 7 years old or so, I went to the amusement park, and I was basically forced to go on this ride that basically dropped you from a really high place. Now, I didn't get hurt or anything, but I just found the overall experience terrifying, and I feel like I've been scared of heights ever since.
I feel like I don't fear failure anymore, but I feel like I fear disappointing people, especially someone like a family member or a friend. Not being there for them when they needed it, or not helping them when they needed. Not living to expectations in different areas of life, whether that be school, sports, or my behavior and whatnot.
I'd say I'm pretty scared of death as well. Anytime when I'm put in a potentially dangerous situation, no matter the severity, my hands usually start sweating a lot since I get really nervous. I sometimes think about death when I'm in thought in my bed trying to go to sleep. Ultimately, it causes me to not be able to sleep whenever that happens, or I have to start thinking about more happy things.
My number one fear mentally and emotionally would probably have to be fear of letting down my future children. Messing up in school and/or college and not getting a decent job to put my children in a great opportunity to do the same for their children. I don't want to make stupid decisions like getting addicted to drugs or alcohol, since that will likely affect the upbringing of my children as well. They say that each generation is supposed to do at least one step better in terms of jobs and income, and my parents did pretty alright for me, and I want to do the same, and hopefully a little bit better for my children.
