It sounds like you’re looking for a natural way to express that anxiety. Depending on who you’re talking to and how much “drama” you want to add, here are the best expressions to complete that sentence:
1. The Most Natural Options
These are the standard ways to finish that thought in everyday conversation:
“I’m afraid I’ll fail in the competition.” (Simple and direct)
“I’m worried I’ll fall short in the competition.” (A bit more formal)
“I have a feeling I won’t make the cut in the competition.” (Specific to qualifying rounds)
2. The “Idiomatic” Options
If you want to sound more like a native speaker or add some flair:
“I’m terrified I’ll crash and burn in the competition.” (Very informal; implies a big failure)
“I’m scared I’ll choke in the competition.” (Used when you’re afraid nerves will ruin your performance)
“I’m worried I’ll bite off more than I can chew with this competition.” (Implies the competition might be too hard for you)
3. The “Self-Correction” (A Note on Grammar)
Technically, “I’m afraid of failing” is also very common. However, if you are sticking with the “I’ll fail” structure, you usually need a conjunction or a slight tweak for it to flow perfectly:
- الاجابة : I know you can do it.
“I am afraid I’ll fail…”
“I’m honestly afraid I’ll fail…”
A quick piece of “peer” advice: It’s totally normal to have the jitters before a big event! Usually, that fear is just your brain’s way of saying you actually care about the outcome.
