What's your type and what strong unusual fears do you have that are worse for you than average?

Each essence is a separate glass,
Through which Sun of Being’s Light is passed,
Each tinted fragment sparkles with the Sun,
A thousand colors, but the Light is One.

The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.
(Jung on Si)
I don't know what I fear more than other people because I don't know how much other people fear things >>>> this kind of ambiguity/confusion makes me panicky though. In general.
Fucking centipedes, definitely
Not being allowed to isolate myself.
Being perpetually mindless and exhausted from lack of sleep.
Insanity.
Losing control of my emotions.
Dying in a world worse than the one I experienced as a kid
Going insane
The increasingly dystopian developed world
Extraterrestrials (I've seen a UFO before)
The logarithmic experience of time
human flesh tastes like pork

>The logarithmic experience of time
This has always been deeply interesting to me, and i've wondered a lot as a child about how, phenomenologically, ''time flies by''. It captured my mind even when very young.
Why does it scare you?
Death of or loosing loved ones
Getting cancer or chronically sick
Alzheimer’s
Free falling
Snakes
Being in restrictive environment where you can't wander off doing whatever you want.
Being tied down.
Being locked into somewhere and having no way to escape.
Having too much physical pressure put on you.
You'll get the drift.

Please tell me more about this encounter with a UFO.

I'm scared of bees.
Not that unusual but I promise you it's worst than average.
It scares me because I see less value in each part of the year because it feels faster than last time. When I was younger, I was able to really soak up each situation life gave me and form a strong impression around it and now I can't do that anymore. The world felt like a rich, aesthetically flavorful place where each day felt distinct even though I just lived in a small town in humid, tropical Florida. I tried to figure out what my favorite hour of the day was. Now each day feels like nothing and it will only get worse at a faster pace. Besides that, I feel tricked by the objective measurements of age and I feel like I have been rekt by not learning about that stuff earlier in life so I wouldn't have taken it for granted.

I used to have triskaidekaphobia. I got over it. Most fears I had were during a period of OCD which I had treated with CBT.
I do sleep with the lights on but it is a long story I am tired of telling. I don't like public speaking.
I think enneagram covers basic fears well. I don't think I have any pathological fear at this time. Will update if I get one.
“My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.” —C.G. Jung
Well, a few years ago my family and I were in the car driving back from the beach and there was a sort of lip-shaped object flying in front of the sunset. All of us saw it and my mom's ex took a picture of it.

Centipedes (hate them)! lol I scroll past that old movie quickly because I don't even want to see the centipede man or whatever it was called. Where I used to live they were common. I don't see them anymore but now there are palmetto bugs. *cringe* These things creep me out more than scare me but I get it.

They don't seem like they're part of the natural world. You could say that about a lot of bugs or underwater creatures that look weird I guess. But to me centipedes seem uniquely alien. They just don't belong here. They belong in hell.
Yeah, I forgot to include them on my list.
Ok now I've got the heebie jeebies and am officially creeped out.

UFO doesn't necessarily mean extraterrestrials.
You've probably sighted the newest experimental top secret flying device from the US Air Force.
Many things.
Seeing an actual ghost
The Dark
The Unknown
Dying a paindul death
Being conscious of the moment I know I am about to die
Fast moving, poisonous anything biting me
Sticking my feet in something, like a kayak, and getting bit by a spider
People publicly sharing very private and secret things about me
Contemplation of nonexistence
My kids dying
My love loving someone else
I fear the same things. I witnessed Alzheimer's desease of a member of my own family and now I fear getting old.
"The world is a simulation" "reality isn't real" kinda stuff
Not fun, no please
I straight up sit around thinking about these things sometimes to try to inoculate myself... but I don't think it's really possible to prepare.
Inner peace, tranquility, and acceptance may help, but I'm afraid I'm not living unless I think about death some of the time, and thinking about it makes you think about how one is never ready. I have had a few instances(non suicidal) when I thought I could die at that moment and be completely ok with it. It was fleeting, but peaceful. I will probably have more of these as I age.
Not thinking about it at all or thinking about it all the time would not be living imo, but the occassional contemplation is very living and very human.
Seems more like an UOE (unknown optical effect) than an UFO (unidentified flying object).
stictly speaking, if it's an object that was flying and isn't identified, then it's a UFO

Depends on how you want to define 'object'.
A thing, made of stuff.

"Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked."
Biggest fear would be to go insane.
- chronic sickness or other debilitating condition
- insects
- getting old (not something I can stop)
- people judging me personally and talking behind my back
- bad life choices or that I won't be able to fix them
- fire (well, not every kind of course, but I don't want to get burnt)
- people who use their knowledge about me to hurt me or take advantage of me (especially if they seem to know too much)
- people who are too stupid for their own good and hurting themselves and other people because of their wrong and harmful beliefs
There's more of that but I don't want to think about it for now.
Pics of my buttcrack, or otherwise embarrassing or ugly photos, being posted on social media
Small, cute furry animals being hurt
Becoming fat again
Being late to work
something does not add up.
Fear of math. That is very interesting. It stems from not understanding the core and then you are forced to continue... to build on top of not understood information.

Powerlessness, everything else is connected. It's the fear at the heart of it all.
