What are your fears (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hello everyone

So I have a rather unusual fear of butterflies and a fear of darkness. The first one is definitely the fear that has confused lots of people in my life. I can't explain it, for some reason I am just afraid of them. If one even comes near me, I completely freak out. The latter is a rather childish fear of mine. I don't know why I'm afraid of the darkness specifically, but I know that I can't stand it.

So what are your fears?

Someone's gonna die. I'm gonna get injured and go broke with medical bills. Heights. Crosswalks. Riding a bike in traffic. Driving in the city. I'm gonna go blind. I'm gonna get dementia and alzheimers. Shit times will happen again. Our country will go full fascist. My fiance will leave me or be assaulted or be sick. A recession catches us at a bad time. Climate change is worse than we expected. A lone star tick will make me allergic to meat. My asshole will never heal. AI is going to replace me.
