What are some of your fears?
I'm afraid that after enough days awake I will asphyxiate.
I'm afraid that I will wake up one day and my talents will be gone.
Lightning.
Death is pretty much it.
Even if the soul is recycled or goes to heaven or whatever, I don’t think the me I recognize as my actual self will persist in any way. That’s a bummer.
Being locked up, either prison or insane asylum.
Going permanently crazy from drugs, mainly shrooms or acid.

Fear itself.
there's only one viable answer to this question, and i will challenge anyone to a death match in the thunderdome who doesn't agree ;-)
"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."

I hope you're not calling us yellow, o brave stoic knight.
Maybe it's humility you're running from, warm in the arms of your self-regard.
I fear quicksand.
The quote about quicksand from the 2000 movie The Replacements is, "You're playing and you think everything is going fine. Then one thing goes wrong. And then another. And another. You try to fight back, but the harder you fight, the deeper you sink. Until you can't move... you can't breathe... because you're in over your head. Like quicksand".
Shane Falco says this line.
Explanation:
The quote is a metaphor that compares being in a bad situation to being in quicksand. The idea is that the harder you try to fight the situation, the worse it gets.
I think I innately fear crocodiles as I remember so many dreams when I was younger going through swamps and having these crocodiles come out of the swamps and try and eat me!
