Getting old - with no energy in body, helpless.....OH GOD!!! That is the greatest fear for me. I love to be young always :) How about you?

I know this may sound silly but my biggest fear has always been public speaking. I had to take speech class in high school and pass to graduate and I'd actually get sick before I had to give a speech. I always did well but would lose a lot of sleep over it before my turn.

I don't like the getting old thing either. Being helpless, particularly as I've been so independent and capable so far. (touch wood!). Problem is we are going to get old...........eeeeeek! So best it be a graceful transition, if not feisty. I like a bit of spunk in the elderly.

Political strike of our country is my greatest fear as politician call it to refresh democracy, but when strike is called there is no democracy to them because they burn transport, office, throw small bomb on street or to gathering, abuse office going women and man. If someone not follower of their party though all have to obey what they will do during strike this is more fear factor to me.

Thank you for your comments. You are right. The public mobs are real danger, we dont know what we are into. People can just come and hit. Thanks for sharing :)

Fals propaganda on a woman is greatest fear to me. In my non-profit I aware our women member to avoid those people who can start a false propaganda on your character. Though we teach them if you face such, come to us as you have every right to chess it. Though once a false propaganda falls on a woman then no cure from it. So I fear it much.

My greatest fear has always been for my children. I am constantly worried about their health and safety. I could not bear the pain or sorrow if something happened to one of them.

Yes, I agree with you. Parents love their kids more than anything. Am still unmarried, so dont have that feeling. Thanks for telling :)

I agree with you. It is very difficult to get close friends. If you get one, the fear of loosing them is terrific!

my greatest fear is disappointing people. i really hate it when people form their expectations on me and i ended up not meeting those standards. i know it is bad to be a crowd pleaser, but it's just that, i hate the thought that people are counting on me to do something then i won't be able to make them happy by fulfilling it.

I am working in an organisation where there is no provision for pension , so my biggest fear is how I will manage my finances after retirement.

i dont have only one fear, but i have a few. say i hate birds.. i am really scared of them. their skin/feathers look really really horrible and ugly.. and also they could poo on you.. and it happened to my sister once when she was getting out of the pool and i was right behind her... and i got really really scared because of that.. i remember when i was in London i just couldnt bare with the pigeons.. they are everywhere.... my second fear of all is sharks... i can only swim at places where you can see the bottom of the sea at all time or with shark nets which are very secured... otherwise i will freak out and swim very quickily back to the shore... but i love it on the sea though.. so its kind of a pity...

My greatest fear is for the safety of my children and their well-being. They're growing up and may be on their own in a few years so I worry about how their life will go, their health, safety, what kind of world they will live in as they get older, etc. I suppose it's the universal fear for all parents.
