What is your biggest fear?

>>39020877
People finding out about my fetish
Honestly I don't have any other active fears than that

I think I'm afraid of letting people down.
As in they need me or I'm required to do something and I fail.

I think that's the fundamental reason why I distanced myself from everyone and set incredibly high standards for myself, which then leads into me hating myself because I can't keep that standard. That's also why I feel really self conscious about anything and everything I do.

>>39020927
Vore? I've found many with that fetish share the same sentiment

emasculation

>>39020972
Would you say you've developed this fear from incidents in the past where you let someone down who were depending on you greatly, so it was rather traumatizing?
The more you tell yourself you'll let someone down if you ever try again, the more you'll believe it, and the more your fear will worsen
Since you've distanced yourself from others due to this fear, it is affecting you negatively, and in the future if someone becomes a part of your life whether by your choice or otherwise, you could feel debilitated from taking any action for them because of the hatred you now have for yourself
I'm sorry anon, I can relate

>>39021358
>in the past where you let someone down who were depending on you greatly
Looking back I don't think was the case, but at the time I believe that's how I interpreted it. And I think one particularly traumatic event was when I saw a woman getting robbed when I was on a vacation in Spain. I was 10 or so at the time, and I was on a balcony a few hundred meters away so there wasn't anything I could've done, but I think that had a profound effect on me.

>The more you tell yourself you'll let someone down if you ever try again, the more you'll believe it, and the more your fear will worsen
For a long time instead of trying to fix this, I tried to become better at everything so I would be able to do anything anyone asked me. Eventually I realized that that's pointless, because I can't be good at everything. So I'm slowly but surely working towards accepting that fact.

>you could feel debilitated from taking any action for them because of the hatred you now have for yourself
I don't hate myself anymore, which is a good start at least. But I still have a long way to go.

>I'm sorry anon, I can relate
Stay strong brother. The only way from here is up.

What's your biggest fear?

I have two biggest fears - people leaving me if i dont please them or adapt to them (it seems from childhood abandonment issues) and fear of intimacy with girls.

>>39021590
Reddit invading my board. Also the fact that our postmodern society bears a striking resemblance to depictions of Kali Yuga. We've completely stagnated as evidenced by technology no longer serving us as a group, but as individuals and catering to our vices. Evola was right.

Our current society needs to collapse, the foundations are too rotten to build on. Then, we must rebuild based on the greatest historic powers such as the Romans, Greeks, Napoleonic France, the Third Reich, etc. After that, we can only hope that our knowledge prevents us from making the same mistakes again.

Being held accountable or taking responsability for my actions. Its the stupidest fucking fear I ever had, and I dont know how beat it.

Also I used to be deathly afraid of Churches when I was a kid. They were big and loud

Airplanes are definitely the worst. I get bad anxiety just by looking at pictures of sardine-class cabins.
Basically anything that you get stuck in and can't move around much. I even get that at the movie theater sometimes when it's full enough that I can't move without disturbing a lot of people.

not really biggest fear but the only one i can think of right now is that heaven doesnt exist.

Now that we've backpedaled to simply a "social" collapse, recognize that there are numerous distinguishable social climates throughout countless cultures in the world, so this ideal in itself is silly. If you are referring to solely the "Western" social climate, it is not possible in any realm of reality no matter the mental gymnastics you pull off to convince yourself it is, as individualism is now the prevailing value. The Western Weltanschauung is no longer concerned with the collective, but with the self. Could you think of a fear that's on a personal level and not a ridiculous social one that is out of your control?

Nuclear war and a collapse of society, dooming everyone to chaos.

This latest media push for another war, this time with North Korea, seems to be the most dangerous since the cuban missile crisis. And suicidal faggots, some even inthis thread, think a collapse will solve anything. We'd be the average villager living in Fist of the North Star, getting buttfucked by warlords everyday.

My biggest fear is getting some sort of horrible disease or sickness. I've lost sleep over this shit and have had nightmares.

>>39023262
What is humanity's potential? We've already squandered most of it by forsaking our spirituality. Bigger and better is not everything to strive for.

>>39023318
I'm not against spirituality, it's just that too many people aren't looking at the bigger picture.
Humanity has incredible potential in many ways, one of which is too bring life to the rest of the galaxy. I personally don't think life exists anywhere else in the galaxy, at least not in an intelligent form, and as such humanity is the only species capable of spreading life.
The Bible says to be fruitful and multiply, and this colonizing the galaxy would be the ultimate way to fulfill that.
I'm afraid people will focus too much on individualistic pursuits and as such never accomplish what we are truly capable of.

>>39021924
You have nothing to be worried about, my anonymous friend. Such a thing only occurs in fictional narratives which have been written to frighten humans for their amusement. I can assure you.

>>39020877
are you schizophrenic?
I can't really think of what my biggest fear would be, but I'm afraid of having kids. I'm afraid that I wouldn't raise them properly and give them the best they deserve. Just the sheer amount of responsibility is daunting too. It probably stems from how much of a fuck up my parents were.

>>39023489
I don't just mean theism when I say spirituality, more along the lines of being consolidated with the self, the people you love and the world
Thank you for going into detail, though what can be within our grasp as a species seems to be far off if even possible, such as space colonization, and will only ever actualize if the utmost effort and maximum amount of resources necessary are appropriated, which is far-fetched in the current state of the world. Base, foundational issues such as widespread starvation are of a higher priority as a collective.. to each their own, however. Can't deny the massive, amazing things we can accomplish.

>>39023595
>are you schizophrenic?
No.. just anxious
You should raise a family of doggos with a significant other

>>39023595
The fact that you are worried at all about whether you would raise them properly implies you would still be immensely better at raising them than the majority of current parents.

He would constantly be doubting his every action and his insecurity as a parent would rub off on his offspring

>>39023892
But he at least cares. It's much better than the parents who just don't care what happens to their kids, or the ones who are prideful and don't believe there's anyway to improve their flawed parenting methods.
And of course not being an abusiveness parent is already a huge plus there.

>>39023813
Maybe so, but it still doesn't make me want to be a parent. "You're gonna fuck up but at least you won't fuck up as much as these guys" I don't like that sentiment. It'd kill me to know that something went wrong with my child and I could've prevented it.
>>39023892
Most likely this would happen

>>39023994
You're correct, it's infinitely better than a cycle of abuse being passed on to a new generation. No one is without flaws.

Cancer
I already have my own theories on afterlife and all that stuff, but cancer is such a incredibly shitty way to go, and there is no way to prevent it either. You can be an olympic athlete that eats vegetables every day, only drinks water and still get some serious shit

Cancer treatments have reached an impressive standard of quality, if you don't contract one of the most lethal types such as pancreatic, and it is found before progressing to stage 3 or 4, your chance of conquering it is in your favor
The possibility for you to develop a cancer tumor is also raised based on genetic factors. DNA tests such as 23andme have an opt-in option (albeit for a higher price) to list all of your predisposed risk factors for illnesses and whatnot from your genetics.
I hope you don't get cancer, anon. Dying from your biggest fear would be incalculably shitty.

If you end up impregnating someone by accident and they choose to keep the baby, I'll inform your child once they've reached adulthood that their daddy truly cared for how they turned out and that he beat himself up over every single snafu of his

>>39024246
It becomes less scary when you know for a fact that it will be how you die. All the males in my father side died from cancer, and they always die younger with every generation, that means that I should die around 45yo.

>>39024701
Cancer runs in my family on my mother's side, nearly everyone from that lineage assortment has had it. However, since they were aware of their increased risk, they all caught it in its early stages and survived to live full lives with their families.
Your fate is not sealed. Believing so is defeatist and silly. Since you have this knowledge you do, you actually have an advantage, as you can prevent it from exacerbating to the point of fatality when it inevitably pops up. Godspeed.

>>39023206
You think so? I just feel foolish sometimes when I have these fears, like I have some sort of cancer or something, even though my blood tests would show if something was wrong. I went to a Neurologist for my sleep problems since they were going on for over a month and he referred me to a psychiatrist, since he did a basic checkup and found nothing wrong

>>39020877
Being paralysed from the neck down.

I spend all my time alone in my room but I always have the option to get up and leave if I want to. I don't want to be robbed of that.

stop being afraid of so much shit youre a man for fucks sake and you have balls stop reminding yourself that youre a woman faggot

>>39024901
Yea, though now that you expatiate on this issue of yours, I wouldn't say your problem is physical at all, supported by the fact that your check-ups come up relatively fine. You're anxious and a tad paranoid. I believe this also could be a major factor contributing to your sleep disturbances, likely the root of it. Anxious folk seek things to worry about and cling onto, as well as overthink them to an unhealthy degree. Wishing the best for you, anon. Anxiety and paranoia can be overcome, I struggle with it as well.

>>39024991
This is a spooky one. We all confine ourselves to our rooms, though knowing in the back of our minds that we are physically capable of hightailing it out of them whenever we may please is reassuring to say the least. A cousin of mine is paralyzed all throughout except her head, neck and right arm from a car accident when she was 19. She's 40 now. When I last visited her in March she was optimistic, more so than I've ever been. It was a bewildering experience, seeing how she has been able to appreciate being alive despite her circumstances. She's able to keep such a positive outlook like this as she surrounds herself with upbeat, lively people who come visit her and hang out daily while smoking weed. That friend circle of hers and her family have given her the will to carry on. I admire her ability to do so, though it shows how a friend/support network is quite crucial to happiness, or an absence of suffering. She has a high-tech motorized wheelchair she can vrrrooom around in, albeit still being limited as she requires assistance with it regardless, as well as a nurse to assist her with basic needs everyday.

Being in a relationship and getting dumped because they realize that im nothing alike the way I act around in public.
This has led me to realize that as of now, if someone ever feels atraxted to me I will deliberately act in a way to drive them away, and if that doesnt work and someone actually wants a relationship I would deny them with some lame excuse cuz im sure they would leave me eventually.

>The Western Weltanschauung is no longer concerned with the collective, but with the self.

Haha, what is the Axial Age?
Christ, Gautama, Zoroaster, among others: it was these individuals that over 2000 years ago sowed the original seeds of individualism in human civilisation by abrogating communal responsibility and introducing ideas of personal salvation.
This is not an exclusive feature of the modern Western world-view, but the paradigm of all post-iron age urbanised civilisations.

>>39020877

> Their axiomatic crux in the fundamental constituents of what is and ever will be, it horrifies me.

It sounds like you're not afraid of cycles per se, but rather axioms in general: the idea of any sort of inescapable, unquestionable and immutable metaphysical reality that constrains the range of possibility to anything less than infinity.

>Their cardinal roots in the self
What are the cardinal roots that cycles have "in the self"? I don't follow.

> the absolution that follows an ephemeral lapse of being
By "ephemeral lapse of being" are you referring to life, and by absolution do you mean death?

> Its transience ensures this too shall pass
Are you saying that the transience of life ensures that your fear itself is transient, which is only a "vestige" or salvation, because although the fear itself passes, it passes only thanks to the cyclical nature of life and death, which is itself the cause of your fear?
Are you pointing out the irony of the prospect of having your fears quelled by the very object of fear?

>>39026837
Interesting insight. Thank you for your input. Though many facets of both materialism and idealism has and have had parallels to communal responsibility, such as patriotism, among many others times you've glanced over which aimed to improve the quality of life for the general population. It's not as if the idea of personal salvation introduced then is relevant here - what has been in decline in the past century or so is what's on the table. "Haha, Christ" to you too

I have lots of fears.
