When I was younger i used to be afraid of walking on sidewalks or near cars, because I got ran over at 3rys old and had by right leg bent backwords and over my head,
got a 3rd-degree burn on my wrist and more. It was a very tragic time and impacted my life, up until i was about 14-15 I finally grow out it/stronger
over my fear, and now im here lol that's my deep story i guess. 

I know this is probably not what this thread is quite about but hey oh well

I'm so sorry that happened!! That sounds so traumatizing and happy you're still here with us. And hey, these experiences can totally fall under this thread.

not to sound edgy but im afraid most of being alone in the quiet with just my thoughts to keep me company.
I am also afraid of the dark...but only in my bedroom. I am afraid of thunderstorms but only when I am alone in my home. and im afraid of this weird creature that i see in most of my dreams

but probably my deepest fear is that what i assume to be true is actually true that I am actually just a failure and burden to everyone around and people only talk to me just to be nice and no one actually cares.....

 You don't know me, but I promise no matter what your head likes to tell you about being a burden - that is far from true. And if you feel like the people around you don't care, ask them, let them tell you otherwise. If people say they don't care, drop those people - they aren't with your time. You'll find the people who won't ever make you feel like that. As fake as this may sound, me being a stranger and all, I just wanna say I care, and if you need someone to just say the words, shoot me a message and I'll reassure you every time.

I think my biggest fear is the unknown. If I'm going into a certain situation that is out of my comfort zone, I have a strong tendency to imagine the worst case scenario happening. Even if I know that scenario is very unlikely to happen or won't happen, the thought of it still scares me.

 I relate. I'm more of a pessimist and an optimist. The unknown scares the shit out of me, and it can really hold you back from things.

Personally I've been fighting depression my whole life but two years ago I almost lost the battle and knew that I couldn't just keep pushing it down and pretending it didn't exist. After I started taking meds it helped fix a lot of other issues that were a result of my depresso expresso like constant anger and dehumanizing people. Now I live a pretty happy life and am content with where I am, some days it still bleeds through but most of the times I'm super upbeat. Once I got better mentally I got a girlfriend, left my shitty job, took a risk and moved to a new town. Don't have a morale or want pity or apologies or sincerity, people struggle with this a lot worse than I have. That however is a bit of insight into why I am the way I am.

I'm genuinely happy you've made it to this very day and are content with life. It's not possible to ever fully overcome depression, but i'm glad you found your way to fight through it. Also sure, people may have it worse but that doesn't make your struggle any less important.
