Fear - what are you scared about

[Wereman]

Thank you all for sharing, oddly enough, I do not feel freaked out of swimming in a natural body of water. The endless green and blue and do not see the ground adds a mysterious element to swimmingg in a lake.

Death is probably the biggest fear, for we all do not know what comes after and we saw whoever leaves does not come back. Best approach is to live your life to the fullest.

Who's Yolo? Or is this similar to the Grudge or the Ring girl

[Silvermink]

Hm, I also have something of a fear of deep water and of drowning. Not phobia-level - I've still gone snorkeling in deep water, and floated down part of the Nechako River wearing a life jacket (yes, on purpose) - but it's definitely there.

Slightly off topic but basically YOLO stands for "You only live once" It was coined by the rapper drake. It's pretty much become the slogan/battle cry for most teenagers and young people alike. So things like, "I'm going to get drunk, YOLO!!", "I brought this girl home, and I don't know where my condoms are, YOLO!!"

So yeah, that's what that is.

Or more aptly know as Carpe Diem for morons lol

I can make this jump, it's only 30 feet, YOLO.

To be honest and for the record, I don't know which one is worse, YOLO or swag....

[Drake Wingfire]

Well both encompass a pride in being stupid, as if trying to achieve anything at all has become un-cool. YOLO being "haha I know this is stupid but im doing it!" and Swag being "Who needs to be smart? I think I can get by on looks and attitude"

I'm afraid of being alone, of being a failure, and of never doing anything that is of any importance in my life.

[Drake Wingfire]

Those are rather understandable, time to time I really feel that last one. Right now I am trying to still separate the "work/career happiness" side of that from the "life happiness" part because all to often we might have a great life but think we are failures just because we haven't found some job that will give us a six figure income. Usually a notion drilled into us at school and by our parents that finding a high paying job is the only thing that equals happiness. Right to the point we sacrifice everything for it and wind up just being unhappy no matter how far we get.

I'm absolutely terrified of needles and spiders. And the Skytrain. No, really.

Also heart and breathing problems; suffocating and not having space is incredibly stressful for me. Which doesn't exactly help the panic attacks.

Absolutely right to be afraid of the damn thing. On my way to work yesterday, I had the treat of watching transit cops dealing with a shrieking, bearded shirtless man gibbering at them and hopping around like a monkey. Fun!

As for what I'm afraid of? Surprisingly little. Accustomed to needles. Spiders, I'll handle, as in physically. I cannot deal with the idea of cancer, though; It's killed most of my family, directly or indirectly, most of them died a slow and wasting death, and I do not want to die that way. I want to die peacefully in bed or in spectacular, swift fashion.

I had to think about this thread a great deal before I could articulate in my mind a proper response.

I have learned that I what I fear above all else is time. I'm afraid I'll never have enough of it. I fear I need more of it than other people to get things done in my life.
On the other hand, I can't trust myself with it. I don't treat it very well when I have it and I tend to kill a lot of it. I let it go to waste whenever I have some.
