Figured none of the other STGY- threads fit this bill so I decided to take the initiative.
Basically just post whatever scares you, keeps you up at night, or hate to think about. Can be small, big, important, existential, goofy, you name it.
I'll get this started:
-Being a passenger in a car where the driver is clearly nodding off and the car is drifting to the side
-Walking out at night to throw the trash out
-Thinking about a loved one in a hostage situation where you can't help them
-Saying the wrong thing and having people get the wrong impression of who you are
The thought of being alone for the rest of my life :s:
Dying unhappy.
Walking next to an unoccupied room with an open door at night

You know you are going to die, so knowing that you might as well just find out what is making you unhappy and get rid of it. I know its easier said than done but it can actually be done.
This is really silly but when I read SCP or creepy encounters or just general scary stuff online, I get in this super paranoid state of mind and then every little noise/thing scares me. :cry:
It takes me a few hours to shake it off too. Idk if I'm a weirdo or if this is common but damn it really sucks. I keep doing it because I love scary stuff though :v:
The fact that I'm most likely going to be deaf before the age of 30 and, due to financial issues, won't be able to rectify the problem before it gets any worse.

That's pretty normal
My girlfriend talking about marriage can get me scared and uneasy for a full week.
The inevitability of Death

Well that's great then! I thought it stemmed from my other paranoia problems...so this is nice to know. :cat:
For whatever reason the space my university's psychology department occupies is kinda creepy. The first part is having to go up five flights of stairs that get narrower the higher you go. Then you have to walk down a long dimly lit hallway that has seemingly random black and white photos strewn about the walls. Then if just opens up to a fairly normal looking part of the University Hall until you get to the hallway connecting the computer labs. That honestly looks like a decade or two behind the other parts of the building, including the computer labs themselves.
This shit has to be intentional because it's only the psychology department that looks like that. I'm glad I only have to go there for some exams.
Air raid sirens and spiders. I hope those two never combine in any way in the future.
Spiders
Fucking my teeth up even more (not neglect, night time bruxism).
I'm terrified of being useless my entire life, keeps me up. I don't really care about the money, or whether or not I die young, I just want to have done something positive for someone or something before I go.

Oh, I didn't mean to come off as depressed or anything.
I'm just saying that I can't really think of anything scarier than dying unhappy and dissatisfied with the life you lived. I don't have any other fears really, only irrational fears like getting tortured to death or sth.
So, in other words, my "dream" or end goal is to one day wake up so happy that I don't care if I died any moment. If that makes any sense..
I am scared that im not good enough
i think everyone has this fear to some extent
the future
The thought of waking up when i'm 55 and I didn't do anything exciting or fun when I was young.
Also the thought of being romantically alone forever.
The thought of not being able to be alone for the rest of my life :s:

I can relate, 22 and my hearing and vision are both rapidly getting worse.
For me it's open water really. Like stuff down there is so fascinating and I'm a huge sucker for giant sea monsters but on the same token, it's heckin' terrifying. Even in video games, being places like Ash Lake in Dark Souls or Titan in Destiny 2 make me start to panic if I stare at it or dwell on it for too long. I think Half-Life 2's teleporter scene is partially to blame :v:
not death, but the idea of being immortal and simultaneously trapped for eternity or in some other state that makes life not worth living
I'm 24 and my father is 63, I'm worried that I won't become the proud successful son before his mind starts to wither. I want to be able to pay for myself while we travel and go backpacking when he retires.
I'm worried that I won't be able to make the deposit and rent for the apartment I'll be moving into and that my girlfriend and I will have to live with my family. My girlfriend has major social anxiety and is terrified at the thought of living with a family she's not close with.
Oh let me count the ways:
Death/Inevitablility of Death
Heights
Suffocating/Drowning
The harm/death of loved ones
Bugs (especially wasps, ants and spiders)
Spooky, unexplained sounds
Dying alone.
And that's just off the top of my head.
I'm terrified of losing my memories, the things that made me who I am today. If I lose them, I might as well be dead.
I'm scared of becoming completely paralyzed. I don't want to be a prisoner of my own body.
I'm afraid of poor health. My genes are ticking bombs of cancer and heart diseases. Though that is one of my lesser fears since lifestyle plays a huge part in whether or not I die of a heart attack in my 50's.
Ever since I was little, anytime I go to the kitchen in the middle of the night to get something, I run back to my room before the monsters get me. Every now and then, I'll spook myself with my own scary thoughts, and look around to make sure nothing is there.
Stuff that moves fast but in a jerky way and twitching things.
