Can’t think of anything I’m scared of now that I wasn’t as a child, never really been scared of anything other than freaky spiders (not really scared but find them a bit icky) and enclosed space with not many escapes routes like potholing  and the loss of family, friends and pets  |

Once you hit 21 years old time speeds up.
Before you know it you're a parent, grandparent, then great-grandparent and you're looking for the glasses that are on your head.
I'm scared of leaving my children without a mother. |

How frail human life actually is....
As a kid you are invincible & think it's the weak that die not you!
It takes something to happen to you or someone close to you, that you like/respect that dies.....
You then realise you were not as invincible as you 1st thought & it gives you a massive kick up the pants.  |

The first 2 answers to the thread were my instinctive thoughts before reading them: time and bills.
We think we have all the time in the world as children, only to see that life disappears in the blink of an eye. Life's for the living, grab it by the horns  |

"Falling IQ in people and lack of common sense"
In fact the average IQ, Intelligence Quotient, has been incrementally growing for decades; it is called the Flynn Effect.
Look it up on Google. Possible explanations are: better nutrition, exposure to more influences such as media, better edication., etc.

The prospect of being permanently injured or disabled that would socially isolate me; last year I acquired an injury that left me immobile for two months, during Covid.
A shocking, humbling and very frightening time and a bad experience I would never want to repeat.
Incidentally, my employer sacked me when I refused to return to work until my injury, that I acquired at work, was fully healed! |

That this is all there is, and I'm not making the most of it.
As a kid I never thought about the future or about missed opportunities, but as an adult I do question whether I'm getting all I can from my life and I fear that I'm not. |

The top diving board, I used to jump off that all day long as a kid, took the kids swimming not long ago thought I’d have a go for old times sake, got up there and absolutely shit myself, it’s higher than I remember |

"Would say life. As a kid you had no concept of life but as you get older it scares you to think wow how have we got here  "
Fairground rides, I’m a right baby now and feel battered after being on one. |
