Lol, you get a two-part answer too~
1. Despite her usually calm exterior, Tenten has a lot of concerns in life, just like anyone else. However, her focus is more on the people around her rather than herself -- Will this person be alright? How is that person fairing considering recent events? She hasn't heard from such and such for a while. Maybe she should stop by so and so's place tomorrow to see how they're handling things. -- Tenten can link such a need and want to care for others back to a time when she had found herself helpless and vulnerable. Thrown into a situation that was out of her hands to control where the outcome had been the death of her parents. Of her entire family.

And for a long time, she had always blamed herself for not dying with them.

So, even though she understands that it is probably an unhealthy way of living, Tenten aims a good portion of her energy and time ensuring that those most important to her are safe and generally happy. Because this need to mother her friends stands at the root of one of her greatest fears: that, much like a good number of people in her past, everyone is capable of and would leave her again.

That is not to say that she does not have her own fears that would keep her up at night. It's not exactly to the level of being a phobia, but Tenten will, on occasion, have frightened fits during a storm where lightning is involved. Mostly because it reminds her of what ultimately took her family away. Most of the time, she is fairly good at handling that fear. But every so often, it will come to a point where only a handful of people in the world would be able to calm her.

And of course, there is always that one reoccurring nightmare that haunts Tenten's dreams from time to time. Mostly when it comes near the anniversary of the fire. When that mother of a bad dream surfaces, Tenten is left in a cold sweat and unable to go back to bed at all. Resulting in a full night of simply filling in the long hours until dawn where she will proceed to shuffle restlessly through the day until she can restart the sleep process.
