What scares you most?

Text typing and poor grammar.

Not creating anything meaningful.

I think this is about all that scares me anymore !

Many years ago, during the Northern Ireland "troubles". I was working at Stormont, the seat of government there. I was repeatedly followed by a red Renault 5/Clio.

I checked with the police. It was a known IRA car.

That got my attention.

My children dying before I do.

Darkness

I know it's stupid, but I have nightmares about failing in school.

Oblivion. The end of mankind

Right now the scariest thing for me is our government and the fast erosion of our culture as we know it.

The thought of never hearing from a few of my friends again scares me more than anything... It's got me terribly depressed and some days, I can't move. Basically, no closure scares me and I'm scared that one day, I'll believe suicide will make the pain go away.

Honestly, this is a rather dumb fear, but I appear to be rather cautious over my violin. All of my dreams that are bad usually involve my violin being broken beyond repair or something where I can no longer play it. I also keep it near me at all times when it's not at my house, and if that isn't an option I hide it. Once somebody took it and started throwing it in between him and another person, and I kicked him in the head and then twisted his arm around his back. I told him that if they didn't put my violin down I would break all his limbs. 

To be fair, when I did this I hadn't slept for a while, so my thinking and reasoning wasn't the clearest. I would think I'm unreasonably protective over my violin, so I guess my biggest fear would be that it would be broken.

Anxiety.
