If that's the case, then my greatest fears are Ryan Gosling and four bottles of wine...

Living/being alone for the rest of my life is a scary thought.

This too actually. I hate when you see those elderly people who have never married, have no next of kin or any siblings left. Breaks my heart.

Spiders, losing family and small spaces

Also having to talk to people

Wouldn't your head smash open and you die before drowning?

A shallow well. Smartass

I remember someone telling me years ago that someone they knew died when they fell off their quad bike and it rolled on top of them.

That didn't kill them, they died from drowning in a PUDDLE because the weight of the quad squashed them face first into it and they couldn't lift their head out of it to breathe.

Awful.

I think being fully paralysed is a major fear of mine. I was luckily only paralysed from the chest down (so I could move my arms and head but for a week or 2 just doing that made me tired and dizzy) but a relapse is quite likely given my condition and it could very well happen. I've met people with my disease who need a trachea (they relapsed after making a good recovery too) and it scares me that one of these days I'll just stop breathing (possibly die, or be starved of oxygen for too long) and need to live with one for the rest of my life. Seeing their tracheas fall out and them instantly black out scarred me, which again goes back to my fear of being starved of oxygen.

Worse than not being able to breathe unaided is the idea of just being unable to move or communicate at all... it was humiliating enough to only having the independence to eat and surf the net on my phone, but the idea of being unable to speak and being in a vegetative state... I'd be lying if I said I didn't shake at the thought of it daily

Probably suffering with a degenerative condition, where over time you lose function after function until you're just a shell. Just seems absolute hell .

Also, plane crash or drowning. Or falling from a great height.

probably being stranded in the middle of the ocean. Vast things in general terrify me... I don't have a fear of heights or anything but the idea of, say, a cruiseliner getting really close to me if that situation happened (whilst great for saving me ) would horrify me.

This is pretty much what I was trying to explain. Looking up at tall buildings makes me feel a little queasy but I have no issues being at the top of one.

Yeah definitely, I enjoy being at heights and taking in views, but being on ground level and being able to look up and see it - seemingly - going up forever, makes me the same.

I actually found the word for it, megalophobia - I searched it up on Google and could barely make it through two images.
