It could be a heaven as a lot of people say, a resort among your dead relatives and others. Or it could be a hell that makes you regret everything bad you have done. Or even yet it could be nothing, and your existence is gone. I'm a person who thinks about a lot of things as you can see, and sometimes i can scare myself by thinking too much.

For this fear especially, if I were in your position, I would just go about reminding myself to not worry about something that can't change. I assume you don't like having this fear (otherwise, it wouldn't be a fear, would it?), so I want to help you try to get rid of it. But yeah, next time it comes to your mind, just remind yourself, that no matter what it is, you have no choice in it regardless. I myself believe that after you die, you decompose, and that's about it, however, if you do believe in Heaven/Hell, it really shouldn't be something you have to worry about, as you should be nice to most people regardless.

Different people have different views on what await them after they die. Focusing on death rather than life is a bad choice. But thinking about it is always good. I think most people forget that they will die one day. Most people think they're invincible. It's better to enjoy life in the moment, rather than worrying what's going to happen down the road.

Wow, thank you guys so much for posting what frightens you the most! It's refreshing to see so many people willing to share their feelings about sensitive topics.

I am afraid of bacon sprays in ttt

I am afraid of clowns, they're freaking scary I tell you! Especially those who walks around in town making ballons to kids, I walk in a biiig circle around them D:

Small insects too, if they get too close to me without me noticing it, but if I see one on the ground, it's okay.

Definitely snakes. Generic fear but I am terrified of them.

Public speaking, one on one speaking. Basically any form of speaking.

Guess it's my turn.

My deepest fear is drowning and failing.

I'm not talking about a total fear like I won't get in water, or a relaxed fear like I get still go in and stuff. Mine is like, if I get dunked. I have to get out, just the feeling of not being able to be in control of when I can breath is horrifying. And no, choking is fine, because like you can at least get a little air when you're wrestling and a friend chokes you. But underwater there is none, and the feeling of water going into your lungs is horrible. (Completely weird flashback) When I was 8, my Boys and Girls club took a trip to a water park, I was really excited and wanted to go. So my dad agreed as long as he came with. So we went and decided to go to the wave pool. I got in, and instantly wanted to go to the very deep end (50 feet of water) and at 8, I barely knew how to swim. I got all the way out, and one massive wave pushed me off my tube, and deep down into the water. I managed to swim up and a guy helped me out, but it was horrible. Barely knowing how to swim and breathing in water.

And failing. I can do small things, like video games and stuff. But when I fail at school, or something similar. It just terrifies me because of past memories which I won't elaborate on.

honestly my greatest fear is my dreams im terrified i get vivid night mares that scare me badly and my body will randomly shudder making me more scared so im forced to then get up look around listen to the radio and drink a bit of water to calm myself or maybe leeches bloody blood suckers gross me out

My worst fear would be tornadoes. A EF5 tornado got pretty close to my house. Was pretty scary because it was going directly towards us. but it ended up going more north then east. Also spiders.
