my biggest fear is to live in a world of oppression and zombies were people cant think for themselves and to ruin the world for future generations to know that my species wont go on is scary but about your fear of death i believe what Shakespeare said in hamlet "to die is to sleep no more a sleep than to end the natural shocks that are inherited to die to sleep perhaps to dream" i find peace in death to have ever lasting rest

I don't fear death itself but i do fear the causes leading up to my death if that makes any sense? and i fear the ppl i love dying before i do and i fear spongebob I think I understand. So instead of fearing death you would fear, using Alzheimer's as an example, the degeneration of your brain. or If you're dying naturally you would fear the slow degeneration of your normal physical abilities (feeding yourself for example). I would fear myself being burden on my family or friends.

It sounds shallow, but I'm scared of people from my school finding out about everything I do on the internet (such as my YouTube channel, this, etc). I know I shouldn't care what anybody else thinks, but I've always had trouble with that, especially because I'm such an awkward and shy person (which makes me an easy target for being made fun of).
A less shallow response would be illness (more specifically throwing up). The thing is, though, that this fear leads to thinking I'm going to die if I just get a really bad stomach ache. It sucks.

Growing old. You get all weak and trembly and lose control of basic bodily functions. One by one, your friends start to die off. You get so weak you can't walk without assistance and you can forget about all that fun fun exercise you used to do back in the day. Eventually your mind will go and you won't recognise your own family. They'll put you in a home where they keep the bathroom locked at all times and they key just out of reach of your arthritic arms. Boom. You are completely helpless. I am not afraid of death now, but if I ever make it that far I hope it comes swift and neat because I am not not not living through that. No thankyou.

Most of the people I hang out with think its cool so its not terrible. But this dumbazz kid in my class always mentions it. Teacher:Let's see, what do I have planned next? Kid: LETS WATCH JOEY'S YOUTUBE VIDEOS!!!!! HIS ACCOUNT IS PJSOMETHING Hey Joey what is it? Thats a normal day for me.

That's exactly what I'm afraid will happen to me. I mean, my close friends know and think it's cool, and I'm sure my other friends wouldn't care if I told them, but there's just one or two guys in my grade that will torment me to death about it. I hope that guy shuts up eventually, for your sake I bet it must suck.

Unfortunately that's part of the game when you post anything about yourself online. Really nomatter what you put out there, there's always gonna be SOMEONE who doesn't like it. Conversely, looking on the upside - There's also always gonna be people who like it, too.

Where ANYONE can see it." and I say,"But I want to enroll in film school when I'm older, so I'll just figure it out when I get there." So, I guess...I don't know. I'm still scared, but I deal with it. And I think following my dreams would be a little worth the torment that might come out of it.

I don't post videos on Youtube. Most of my internet activity takes plays on various forums. Most of which are anonymous. As far as everybody else knows, all I do on the interbutt is lurk facebook.

Usually for me, it goes something like this: One of my friends will suddenly tell me, "Make another YouTube video!" and I say, "No, I make YouTube videos when I feel like it". And then more people join in and say, "Hey! Alex makes YouTube videos? What's his username?". Then my friends would reply, "It's like Alex with like decorative Xs and then Chris or whatever - it's not even his real name!" And then they ask me what my username really is and I refuse to tell them, until someone else who knows it tells them. Also, when I'm at my friend's houses, they sometimes put on my YouTube videos to laugh at them. I hate the sound of my own voice, so it instantly pisses me off. Then they get angry at me because it wasn't funny, even though it's not supposed to be. This goes for anything I put onto the internet. People complain about it not being funny enough. What? Is comedy the only information I'm allowed to share? Anyway, I hate people talking about my YouTube. I wish I never told my friends about it in the first place. Then it would be like a secret life, a second persona... I'D BE A FRIGGEN SUPERHERO... probably not.

I actually saw this video once that really helped me accept that if anybody ever did make fun of me, that at least I was brave enough to put myself out on the internet and do something I actually care about. I'd link it here if I could find it.

Is comedy the only information I'm allowed to share? I've noticed that sort of thing. There seem to be legions of people who only go to the internet for humour (and probably porn). I'll be watching some some Youtube channel I'm subscribed to, and say: Great, they're being interesting for a change; but then I'll see a billion people commenting their complaints about how it wasn't funny as usual. btw I've seen you're videos Alex, and quite like them! In the past I was somewhat afraid of people I know seeing my videos, but now I don't care very much - actually, I'd like people I know to see them and give me their input (most don't seem to be in Youtube though); I even post my videos to my facebook to encourage them to watch them.

Aside the whole YouTube situation, I just realized I'm terrified of bad thunderstorms. There's one at my house right now and it's scaring the living heck out of me....

I don't know if it's a fear, but it's similar:
A few years ago the fire alarm in my building was broken and it kept going off in the middle of the night. Now whenever I hear a bell ring, my head explodes.

I'm actually ornithophobic,fear of birds, but more specifically Ducks & Geese scare the Poo out of me!
I'm also really afraid of Loneliness, of Failure and of never getting to play Starcraft 2

There are a few things that disturb me at a mild level. Like spiders, goats and most kinds of fruit, but the thing that scares me the most is apocalyptic disasters. I can stand the fictional part of it, like in video games or movies. But when it shifts itself into real life, like the LHC ( when I first heard about it) or 2012, I just become scared sh*tless. I'm not a religious person, and I sometimes wonder why I'm afraid of it, but the thought of it alone gives makes me uncomfortable.

If you want I can give you a video link that takes on each popular belief about 2012 and disproves it. I have a friend who has the same problem and I guess it calmed her down immensely.
