What's your biggest fears? I want to know what fears this age group has, you know. Why is it your biggest fear? How did you become afraid in the first place?
Someone mentioned these and I would have to agree:
~rejection: I don't know why, but I associate rejection with failure and I don't want to fail (So true!)
~losing a loved one: This has already happened and will continue to happen as death is a natural aspect of life. I just can't imagine my life without a whole bunch of people. I try to maintain relationships that are extremely important to me, but there is always a fear that maybe they will move on...and forget about my cankles.
I'd also include:
~dying alone: I'm not afraid of how I will die, nor do I know how I will. But, I fear being by myself and not having anyone to hold my hand or give me one last embrace before I pass away.
~centipedes (See also: earwigs): I hate them...I absolutely hate them, I'm sorry. I fear anything that's a badrillion times smaller than I am, things that bite and can move so much more faster than I can. By the time you see one, it's already too late. It's headed straight for your cankles.
~debt: It would appear that this will be in my future for as far as I can see and I can't stand that. School loans, mortgages...it just never ends.
~never marrying (or finding someone quality who piques my interest juust so): I can always adopt children which is something I've been wanting to do for almost ten years now. I can get myself situated so as to be able to support my children. However, it would be so much better for me to have a partner to share my life with.
~another retired actor/gameshow host situation: self-explanatory
