being 60 years old with no one to call. no one to rely on. no one to see over the holidays. no one who calls me, checks in on me, or even thinks of me. Getting to an age where i am completely and utterly alone and unable to change it. Too old to have a family. To old to make new friends. And then coasting through the next twenty years all alone, while having already died in my 40s but not stop breathing until my 80s.
I’d say my biggest fear is probably not living up to my potential. Like, getting stuck in a routine and wondering if I could’ve done more, pushed harder. Kinda makes you think about how short time really is.
Maybe it’s a middle aged thing but I worry about certain potential aging things, both physical and mental.
Things like arthritis and being unable to play musical instruments or video games. Lose any cognitive abilities or cognition in general. Not be able to control the difference between inner monologue and outward speech etc… Bowel control… jeezus, just end me there and then.
Dying. Either my wife dying before me or me dying before her. I think her being alone without me would be worse. Though living without her would be torture.

Anything bad happening to my family. I sold our motorcycle after 50 years of riding so my wife wouldn’t get hurt on it.
Coming from a lower middle class family to now balling my ass off as an engineer (thanks mom). I never want to be broke again.
Losing my wife and or kids. Not being able to provide is pretty high up there too.
