What’s your biggest fear?

So the other day I was walking down the street with a new(ish) friend of mine and found out he has an extreme phobia of birds. When he was younger, he was attacked by a bird so it’s a pretty logical triggering reason. He’s tried therapy, yoga and a number of other tactics but can’t seem to conquer the fear. It got me thinking about my biggest fear. While mine isn’t nearly as extreme, public speaking was my biggest fear but I’ve recently overcame the fear by practicing and forcing myself into more situations that would make me speak in public more often. Whether it’s a small fear or serious phobia, what’s you biggest fear?

Falling from a height is one of my biggest fears.

I have a fear of not accomplishing everything I know I'm capable of.

I have a fear of doctors. I always think they are going to tell me bad news.

For me it's definitely dying...or losing someone very close to me.

When I was a toddler, I was once stung repeatedly by bees and developed a phobia of anything with a stinger. I didn't outgrow that until I was well into my 20's. I'm mildly claustrophobic. Things like elevators don't bother me, but getting "trapped", especially where I can't see a way out, makes me very uncomfortable.
