I fear losing myself. I believe that life is a place where you do anything you like and eventually die. If you like art, I think that you should die doing what you like. If you like music, you should die doing music. If you like games, you should die loving games. This all leads to who you are as a person. You are the maker of your life path and nobody else should be allowed to make you stop. However, sometimes I become lost or rather don't who I am. It's like what cho said. If I am lost, I don't know what I should do nor what I want to do and that is the worst feeling I feel. However, gladly, right now I have a pretty good idea of who I am and have a pretty good insight of my future goals  |

I agree the point made by everyone. It is impossible to replace something such as, person, memory, emotion, and receive same amount of satisfaction. Although you replace with something similar, you already know that is different. And I believe everyone fear about the feeling of loss. For me, I fear darkness. I can never stay for long hours a place that is very dark and small. One day, I went to famous cave in Jeju island, and I literally almost could not breathe out and cried for a hour. I could not walk properly, so my friends helped me to cave.

I fear losing. Not like losing to someone or losing in a competition. I fear losing something that I love and personally cherish a lot. Because those small little thing are the reason I live for like my family, my friends, my hobbies. Losing any of these things are terrifying for me. I think if I lose them I will lose a part of me that I built over many years. That's I'm always careful when I'm around them so that I don't hurt or disappoint them which can end up by losing them

I also have fear of both physical and non-physical things. I am terrified of physically falling vertically, hence I will never go bungee jumping or ride the Gyro Drop at Lotte World and Tower of Terror at California Adventures. Mentally, I am also afraid of falling short of my own expectations; one shouldn't feel disappointed from being unable to reach someone else's expectations, such as a parent's, for they aren't the ones who have to endure to reach that particular goal. However, knowing one's own potential and not being able to reach one's own limits call for a disappointment in one's self, which sometimes lead to depression.
Meanwhile, I actually think that loss is a different topic altogether from fear. Anyways, my view on loss is that although it is sad, we can't let it inhibit us from experiencing what the rest of our lives has to offer. Many things that we lose are often irreplaceable, such as family members, love, etc. Yet, though we may be unable to perfectly recreate those important virtues, we can form new versions of them. Just because you lost love with an ex-girlfriend/boyfriend doesn't mean you can't find affection with a new partner. Just because an important person/pet puncooled away doesn't mean you should ignore everyone else around you.
With honor, I don't think failing to be honorable means that you have lost your honor. It's similar to in computer cluncool: just because something isn't true doesn't mean that it's false. Gawain wasn't honorable when he accepted the magical girdle and lied to the lord/Green Knight afterwards about what he had received that day. Nevertheless, he was still welcomed as a knight of the Round Table upon his return because of all the other times he had been honorable beforehand. He didn't lose all the honor he had achieved up till that point; but he just failed to be honorable in that particular moment in order to prolong his survival.

I fear of many things. I fear loss, not keeping promises, future..those unknown things. Even something we've known for whole life time, this is kind of personal but I'd love to share with you. I used to fear males. I experienced things that they changed my view towards males and started to be scared of them few years ago. I even have the chilly sprays(hahaha) but not anymore now.
Among the list I fear, fear of loss is the scariest I think? Loss of someone who is really important to you is really sad and scary. As I looked at this questions and read some responses, I imagined my puppy die. Even just by imagining, I sweated. It's the same feeling when my grandma died few years ago. If someone important to you disappear in your life, that's really terrifying.. If that happen to me again, it will take so long to recover the pain. Nothing can replace loss. I cannot think of any other fear can be sadder than this. In our life, we will experience the fear of loss sometime and I hope all of you will be okay. Ah so sad.

It's one of those irrational fears but I have a fear of dying in a car crash. I have no problem in everyday driving but I get anxious when the driver is talking or distracted by anything or when the car speeds up all of a sudden. I keep imagining myself and my family dying in a car accident. That's probably why I keep falling asleep in cars or always trying to distract myself from the negative thoughts. My fear built up over time because I come across stories about car accidents in the news or on social media pretty often and I cant hold out the negative thoughts. I think it's hard to overcome your fear because you need to change your perspective first.
