I'm really afraid of the future!! I feel like I've missed out on a lot already because I'm really shy and I'm just not into the same things that other teenagers are into. I'm scared that one day I'll wake up and realize that I let my whole life pass by without trying anything new or exciting.

 

I don't want to be old either :sick:

 

 

I was going to say the same.

I can't imagine my self as a adult. I'm too young!

The idea of having a kid freaks me out. Especially considering people I know that have kids with health problems (some serious); even though it wouldn't really be my "fault", I would feel like a total failure as a child-bearer.

Am I the only one who isn't scared of the thought of having and raising a child? :blank:

..not that I'm going to have a child anytime soon, I'm only 16 hahah!

But uh, I'm very scared of the future but at the same time really excited.

I have a silly dream that I share with this amazing human being and we are determined to make it come true.

And yes, again I'm only 16 and I/we might change my/our mind or something later on,

but we've had this dream for a year now and we both can't imagine ourselves doing something esle.

I'm afraid of pretty much everything mentioned in this thread :blank:

Yes, I'm afraid I won't get to see my girlfriend this year

I'm afraid of going off to college only to realize that I don't like my major

I'm afraid of coming out to everyone

I'm afraid of dying... everyday

 

I'm afraid of everything..

I'm afraid of everyone... (lawls)

 

From what I've seen, you seem to be pretty excited about it (I've seen da blog too) I don't think you'll have a problem with it.

 

 

 

Just realised I'm scared of working with patients in two years. Irony.

I remember that back when I was 14 years old I was pretty much obsessed with studying music and playing in an orchestra (violin). My mom pretty much killed it by telling me what you commented.

 

Yeah, but for me, it's the one thing that I'm better at/love more than anything else, so not doing music was never an option for me. Just thinking about having to pick a Plan B in case Plan A doesn't work scares me something big time.

 

I also think being a parent is scary but it must be awesome to see a little person grow up and discover the world and you being able to guide him/her and teach stuff :blush:

 

That's how I think of it, haha. :wacky:

I used to feel that way, but I've slowly taken steps to where I'm not so uncomfortable about things, and I'm very glad I did. It's helped me grow a lot as a human being. Take chances and be bold; you won't regret it. :smiley:

 

I'm afraid of going off to college only to realize that I don't like my major

 

You know, sometimes that happens to people. My brother just now has decided to switch from sports science to Christian ministry. He feels like it's right for him, and he feels like he'll be much happier that way. I'm even going to help him on that by helping him get a head start in Greek. (It's required for his new major. :tongue:)

 

Even if you do find out that your first choice isn't for you (which I've seen happen to a lot of people), it's not the end of the world. You have plenty of time in your collegiate career to explore different alternatives. I had a friend who changed his major in his fourth year of college because he didn't feel his current major was right, and he's now happily teaching band in a small Texan town.

 

So yeah. Don't fret. Either way, you'll be successful. I know you will. :smiley:

i'm more curious rather than scared. But yeah it's pretty scary anyway.

Everyone needs to calm down about raising children !

It's been the most wonderful, natural thing that ever happened

to me. It was scary when I first learned I was expecting. But it was the most amazing feeling the second Liam was born. I knew looking at him I was meant to be a mum ! I thought also of how I could best "mold" him, but you know, even as infants they have a clearly defined personality from the start. Liam is rather quiet, calm, happy and sort of the "studious" type. He prefers books and puzzles to toys, (very unlike his mum lol ) So I just follow his lead and encourage that ! :book2: i can't wait to see him when he is older, and hopefully genius by then :smug:

I've never been so in love with someone, it is amazing what you feel for your child. Still can't believe I created something so amazing!

no

I'm not scared of the things I control.

And those I can't control aren't worth worrying about as I have no control over them.

 

Everything always seems so easy with you. :nice: But the thing is, I don't feel like I have control over anything, not full control at least.

The scariest thing for me at the moment is my studies and my professional future. I guess things would be less scary if I actually knew what I want.

I'm not scared of having children. :) I would be if I was to have them now but since I know I will only have them when I'm ready for it, I can't be scared.

 

WHAT'S YOUR DREAM ?! *so very intrigued*

Everyone needs to chill out and smoke some weed/fuck/listen to An Ending (Ascent) by Brian Eno, dependant on age.

 

Everyone in here seems pretty fortunate in comparison to the majority of the world.

I'm scared of not having anyone to whom I could talk about personal things.

I'm scared of what's going to happen over the summer. I need to make a decision about postgraduate studies and I think I'll regret whatever I choose. It won't mean it's the end of the world but I'd like to make the best decision from the start.

I'm afraid that my parents will be angry with my decisions.

Just, blah.

:laugh3:

 

:thumbsup:

I'm also really worried that my Masters is gonna be a lot harder than my Bachelors degree, that I end up doing badly and that I'll never be able to find a graduate job. :embarrassed:

 

I'm also terrified of getting old.

 

I'm not really scared of getting married. I don't think being married to your partner would change your relationship really. Not sure if I'm ever going to get married, I don't feel like it's something I have to do but maybe some day.

 

Pregnancy on the other hand scares me A LOT. I can't imagine having children either, I think I'd be a terrible mother. I really hope I'll never get pregnant.

I think being scared of making the right choices would count as being scared of the future, right?

Life affecting choices of course.

I don't think I would. Everyone (especially girls) gets all excited when they see babies but I never do. They're all the same to me. I find puppies cute but I'm just really not interested in babies. I often feel bad about it and pretend that I like them but I can't change the way I feel. I used to think that this is gonna change when I'm older but I'm in my twenties now and I don't think I'll ever feel different. I like older kids, just not babies.

I reckon there are more people who think that way than you might think. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever.

Let's face it - babies are just annoying. All they do is eat/drink, sleep, cry, poop and regurgitate.:P

Plus they require round-the-clock attention.:dozey:

I'm more afraid of none of those things happening for me in the future.

I think I'll never find someone to spend my life with :sad: which sucks because I really want to find someone, have a son, etc. Also I'm scared I won't have time or money to do all the things I want to do (travel, learn more, etc)

 

This, with the exception of children.

I have an extreme dislike of little children. :P

 

But I'm afraid that I'll never get married. :|

 

And that I'll have to go to a bad college.

And that I don't know what I'm going to do in my life.

Wow I didn't expect so many people on here being scared of their future...but it seems to be rather common in our generation...when you see polls about it in magazines for example you get similar results....

 

I decided not to worry about things too much anymore and it works (if people don't keep asking annoying questions, because they are more worried about me than myself....)....all I can tell you that it makes you feel much better

I am terrified of the future.

 

I love where I am right now and wish I could stay in year 2 forever.

 

I don't know what to major in, have no desire for anything.

 

Wish I had done psych or commerce or something.

 

I don't know if I'm gonna get accepted to pharmacy. I'm terrified of the interview.

 

I'm scared that if I move away for school which is a 50 percent possibility as of now, I'm gonna lose my boyfriend. And that means that the next 15 days are the only ones I have where I'm gonna be living on res with him.

 

The hardest thing is that I know he's not gonna leave me. I know as much as I don't want it to happen, that I'll get overwhelmed by the long distance and drifting away. I'm scared of that feeling of missing him cause just typing about it makes my stomach turn.

 

I'm just scared of things changing cause it's hard not to be when you don't know where anythings going and you're complacent in the present.

 

And this whole thing goes through my head a good 5 times a day... Minimum.

Bleh. Everyone's scared by their future, yet somehow excited.

I'm scared that my plans to end my life with my girlfriend will fail, although I'll do all I can to make it happen.

I'm scared I won't find a job that I perfectly like.

I'm scared of lacking money sometimes in my life.

I'm scared of not accomplishing half of the dreams I have.

Etc. etc.
