Perhaps the fear that you're doing something that's already been done before, that everything that you think of doing has been done.
Just about every successful initiative and project starts from a place of replication. The chances of being fundamentally out of the box over the top original are close to zero.
A better question to ask yourself is, "have I ever done this before?" Or perhaps, "are the people I am trying to serve going to be bored by this?"
Originality is local. The internet destroys, at some level, the idea of local, so if we google long enough we'll find that turn of a phrase or that unique concept or that clever app, somewhere else.
But no one is asking you to be original. We're asking you to be generous and brave and to matter. We're asking you to step up and take responsibility for the work you do, and to add more value than just "cut and paste". To do it anyway.
Sure, it's been done before. But not by you. And not for us.
