What scares you most?

I've come to the conclusion that my greatest fear is insignificance, mostly when the time comes that I die. I remember when I was much younger, I read something about an asteroid (or whatever) possibly crashing into Earth in 2032(ish). This f**king terrified me, and I almost started to cry. I didn't want to die, then! I got over it rather quickly, thinking the odds of it happening are pretty small (and they became smaller ever since, being recalculated over and over again). But now, I realize why it scared me so much. It was not really death, it was that it's so soon. It was before I could have achieved anything that had an impact, in life. I want to die old, and when I do, I want to have a legacy. No, I'm not saying I want to be famous, but for some reason I want to be of more meaning to the world than the average person. It may sound somewhat egocentric, thinking I want to be special, but it' just so. Subconsciously, that may also be the reason I eventually want to become a physics teacher and make proffesional music, whether solo on hte piano or in a melodic death metal band (or both). This way, I'll be remembered after I'm gone, and I have brought knowledge to people, I stirred emotions and have added value to people's lives. I'm only scared of death as long as I haven't achieved that. If I go further on this, maybe the one thing that really scares me is to die unknown. I know it won't be like that, I whave already met enough people that know me well, and some must live longer than I, so the more realistic fear is the one I described above. But isn't it terribly unsettling, if you die unknown? To know, beforehand, that nobody will miss you?
I also just love the words (in)significant.

I'm mostly scared of falling short or not achieving my dreams and aspirations. I don't want to be 40 still living in the most boring country in the world working a job that isn't getting me anywhere in any aspect.
Nothing, really. I'll have moments when things freak me out and I'm scared for the duration, but nothing that would be counted as a long-term fear.
It's not that I'm some super-strong, fearless person - I'm really not. It's just as a Christian, I've got myself wired differently in how I think about things. Must be all the brainwashing I get every sunday
Having said that, if you guys all turned up at my house dressed up as either clowns or scarecrows, I'd have a freakin' heart-attack right there and then.

AGH, RELIGION, GTFO RAAAGE #$%&*@! Having said that, I sometimes wonder what the world would look like to me if I were religious. For example, the thought of an eternal afterlife frikken' terrifies me.Nothing, really. I'll have moments when things freak me out and I'm scared for the duration, but nothing that would be counted as a long-term fear.

This. Definitely this.
But not actually this. I wouldn't mind. Think about it man, you could do anything if you were the last man on Earth!!
But yeah these are what I'm scared of, along with viscous dogs, swimming with fish, the dark, my mother finding out any of the stuff I've done (ever), and dying before I do everything I need to do in life.
Yeah, but after awhile it'd get really boring with nobody around.
After a while, so just think of fun s**t to do, kill yourself when it gets boring. Sorted.

Enjoy your sex-free existence.
There is a solution to this so mind numbingly obvious I don't want to insult your intelligence by assuming you don't know what it is.
If you believe that is anywhere near as good as the real thing, then you are a great fool indeed. Enjoy being forever alone my dear.
That was the best exchange of anything ever. In the words of a true Pennsylvanian: I laughed so hard I damn near ****ed mahself xD
I never said that... I just said it was a solution for the problem presented.
And my point is that your solution is not the solution.
