Not death but illness and incapacitation in old(er) age.

A world where I can’t go anywhere without seeing the effects of pollution, or war…

To have any more of me malfunction than already is.

I was going to say “watching someone I love get hurt or tortured without being able to do anything about it” but I think I’m going to go with Mr. Grimm’s answer because that’s closer to what’s been on my mind a lot lately.

Also seeing kid getting kidnapped. That’s 2 fears for me so far.

That I will die a slow, painful, lingering death.

Dying a slow and painful death.

Finding out my period blood went throught the pad and reached the surface. In public. Basically walking around with red ass without knowing. If that happened I’d never leave house again…
It did happen to me once, but it was in front of a few people I know. I refer to being in the large crowd, among strangers, on some important event.

Losing my health insurance
Having my Crohn’s symptoms spread to my small bowel
Needing more surgeries and eventual short-gut syndrome

Being trapped somewhere, alive, but with no way to get out, so I die a slow painful death.

1st…. Buried alive since I am massively claustrophobic.

2nd…. Ladders since I am terrified of even standing on a chair to change a light-bulb.

3rd….. Airplanes since that is like fear one and fear two fucked and made a fear-baby.

Yep, a slow and painful death, pretty standard.

Otherwise I fear no living creature, love everything and infact, I am mourning the loss of my little “Sharpie”, a Sharptailed snake that lived under the bushes outside my back window that the damn gardeners ran over with the lawnmower the other day.
He/she was always out hunting insects around dusk and yesterday morning he was flat and crushed on the patio after, obviously, getting spit out by the lawnmower. Death by lawnmower probably really sucks too. Goodbye my little friend. :-(

Sharpie.

^ That is so sad. At least he could’ve scared the poor soul away from there before mowing.
How come the snake didn’t run away upon hearing the mower approaching?

Coloma's avatar

Not death itself as @Pachy said, just a slow and painful death but I plan on taking lots of Morphine. haha

Coloma's avatar

@Sneki95 I think he/she was on the edge of the grass by the little brick flowerbed and hiding and just got mowed down. Poor thing. :-(

^ So….that frog that flew from my mower last year may have been alive….I feel even worse now.

Patty_Melt's avatar

“Fear baby” FUNNY stuff.

Zachary_Mendes123's avatar

Being in a small room. I’m VERY claustrophobic.

jca's avatar

I think the biggest one would be something bad happening to my daughter.

Another one for me would be being broke.

On a larger scale, war and with it, lack of resources such as water, shelter or food.
