What are your fears?

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about these things, but they do cross my mind every now and then.
I think my biggest fear or the thing that worries me the most is the day one of my parents die. Especially if my dad dies first, my mom loves him so much i know she would be devastated beyond repair. She's not the kind of person that can handle things like that, and i don't know how she would react..i really worry for her.
I've never had a close loved one pass away either, so either of them dying scares me too. I'm a pretty strong person so i know i can handle it, but it just sucks to think about it.
What do you fear?

Long falls. Rollercoasters (mainly because I envision a long fall happening).
EDIT: It's more than just heights. Because I'll hike up a mountain and be looking down at a 2,000' slope down. Nothing. But if it's a cliff with a straight drop off, I get that vertigo zoom-in-zoom-out feeling when I peer over the edge. (Clammy hands, etc.)
Also, bugs. Primarily cockroaches, spiders, and mosquitoes. Used to be scared of moths, but I've gotten over it. (Now, they've moved into "Annoying but harmless" territory.)

Death. I don't know why, but it scares me.
The idea of fading away in to oblivion makes me quake in my boots and has been the trigger of more than one of my bipolar freak outs.

The thought of there being something after death, I dont know why but I would rather fade into oblivion and non existence then be shot into some crazy incomprehensible afterlife upon death.
EDIT: and being on stage, alone, in front of a horde of people.

Tarantulas can live up to 30 years of age. They shed their skin once they have outgrown them. Spiders are partially blind, even with eight eyes.
My fears are heights, powerlessness, loneliness and neurological degradations.

I don't really fear anything much anymore. 
I don't believe death to be the end so i think of it as exciting like jumping into a swimming pool. I will dislike my parents dying but I'm not in fear of it. I will just have to grieve when it comes and one day join them.
I don't like planes, I choose to use boats although I can't say I'm in fear of planes because I just feel excited when I'm on them. Dunno I'm not really in fear of anything because fear seems to be an emotional response that is immediately removed by logical thinking.
Its pretty much useless. I imagine I'd be experience it if I was being eaten by a tiger or something but dunno - not much else really causes fear? Its a tough question. I have many dislikes but I just don't want to do them because I dislike them - thats very different than being afraid.

So much this. Straight drops near me make me lose my balance, well maybe not my balance but that vertigo feeling kicks in. WHY?!? when near an edge why does my body want to do that to me? It seems completely wrong for a survival situation.
I don't even mind being up in a small plane, just that edge. Those high mountain roads bother me when there is a few hounded feet drop but even then I don't have a problem, unless it is that crazy road in S. America I think it is, mainly because of the oncoming traffic.
As far as fear of life changing events... none really, going randomly blind or deaf or becoming a paraplegic but they really are not fears I guess. Just the worst thing that could happen.
Oh yeah that pickle thing almost happened to me a few weeks back. Damn that was one well preserved jar.

I would be more afraid of spiders if I were a toddler or of very old age. I have suffered a bite from a brown recluse spider. 
Their venom causes necrosis. Which makes the flesh around the wound literally rot off.

This too. I hate public speaking in general. I was so terrified of public speaking that I almost didn't go for the radiology program at my school, because it's one of their required courses.
The class itself wasn't so bad because everyone else in there was dealing with the same fears and so everyone was understanding. But I don't know what I would do if I had to get on a stage and speak in front of tons of people.
Or even if I was holding a morning meeting at work or something. That would be hard for me too

stepping on snails... yuck.
not really a fear though, more of disgust.
fear? being helpless at fighting back such as having a stranger point a gun at me or being intimidated by cops and knowing the consequences of punching them in the face.

I turn beet red in public speaking situations. Not even exaggerating in the slightest.  If I had to public speak regularly, I would need an Rx for Valium or something...

My one cousin is deathly scared of moths and the other is terrified of spiders I found a sticker book with a bunch of spider stickers and stuck them on the walls near light switches and whatnot.

When I was younger I did it, maybe 5th grade. Only it was maybe a 30 foot face. At that time it was more of a trust issue with the ropes.
Not sure about a true climbing experience. I guess just don't look back and down, if you only look at your feet and up you won't see how high you are... maybe.

Dude i had the same fear, till my father died. Then i found out that people have a very sophisticated way to deal with such events.
I am not saying that everyone reacts the same, some are way more sensitive than others, but if you really deal with the experience, it takes a long time before you get used to the new way of life without a loved one you miss.
All this time is needed in order to take you step by step into a totally new level of existance and it is that way and takes so long for a reason. It is a smooth transition to another way of life but eventually makes you respect the rest of your trip if you respect life. Life is death too you know. Its a part of it. So if you really like life, you gotta like death as well.

Good news is that you wouldn't have to suffer for very long. I'm sure you'd get stomped on fairly quickly, then you could move on to being reincarnated as something better.

The way you gotta look at it is it's like standing on the edge of a curb. You can do that pretty good without falling, right?
You just gotta try to focus on knowing your feet are in place and pretend you're just on a small curb.
