So are we humans at risk of disapperaing under a whim because the Mayan calendar indicated so?
Is there really an end to this world?
Or are we being scared for the sake of being scared?

It's a myth, although 12/21 is my youngest son's 21st birthday, lol
There's an interesting article about it here:

lol, I guess my avatar is a little misleading, although that was not my intention when I chose it. I do look young for my age.

The Mayan calendar doesn't predict the end of anything anymore than our calendar predicts an end because it "ends" on Dec. 31.

Good point never thought about it that way.

As far as I'm aware, the mayan calendar does end on that date, but it doesn't predict the apocalypse or anything like that. However I read somewhere that it is meant to be the start of a second age/era or something, but I'm not sure how true this is.
Yes.
Does anything feel different now?
There is some truth to this. It has to do with the relative position of our solar system and the milky way. Apparently once a certain point is reached, in the winter's solstice of 2012, the astrological forces will have a profound impact on humanity. Of course, all this presupposes a belief in astrological forces on human behaviour.
I wrote a poem on a leaf and it blew away...
There's always some screwball nutter claiming the world is going to end. Have a look at this wiki - scarcely a year has gone by that hasn't been said to be the End of Days by someone or other. The Mayan calendar thing has just been around longer than most, that's all.
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
I could not tell you we are not there yet.

There was a big deal about the Harmonic Convergence back in the late '80s. Don't think anyone noticed much difference afterward, though. Earlier than that, I seem to remember a planetary alignment that spelled doomsday, except it didn't. Then there was the Y2K apocalypse that wasn't.
Seems to me that rather than simply trying to make the world seem a better place by inventing ludicrous disaster scenarios right and left, people's time would be better spent actually doing something to improve it.

But if it turns out to be true, you won't be able to say: 'I told you so.'
