Fear of Failure

 

Charlie
Charlie fears not being able to responsibly take care of someone. 
Lucy: "Tell me one thing, and don't you dare lie to me. I get why you pretended to like me. I understand why you stole, because you're a junky. But I don't understand why you took the job. Why did you take the job, Charlie?"

Charlie: "I guess I...I wanted to be respectable. I wanted you to think that I could take care of you."

Lucy: "You'll never take care of anyone." 

Desmond
Desmond breaks up with Penny, because he fears he can't take care of her the way she deserves.

Jack
Jack has a fear of failure as a leader.  
Jack: "How are the others?"

Locke: "Thirsty. Hungry. Waiting to be rescued. And they need someone to tell them what to do."

Jack: "Me? I can't."

Locke: "Why can't you?"

Jack: "Because I'm not a leader."

Locke: "Yet they all treat you like one."

Jack: "I don't know how to help them. I'll fail. I don't have what it takes."

   - White Rabbit

 
Jack also worries about whether he would be a good husband and father and hesitates to go through with the wedding.

Juliet

 
Juliet turns down the job offer from Mittelos, out of fear that she isn't able to do the job: 

ALPERT: Dr. Burke, please...

JULIET [gathering her things]: No, I'm sorry. Whatever you think I am, I'm not. I'm not a leader, Mr. Alpert. I'm a mess.
