I'm scared to release it. What if something goes wrong? What if its broken? What if there is a security issue? What if no-one cares or uses it?
I think I'm procrastinating to release it because of my launch fears.

Then, you'll fix it. They found bugs you wouldn't have noticed unless you put it out there.
It doesn't necessarily mean you'll lose users. Microsoft and Google have tons of security advisories. They patch, and go on building and marketing.

If you don't release, you risk a perilous prospect of being the product and service that's "stealth" and never ships. People are sick of those who always play it close to the vest, spin tall tales filled with marketing buzzwords, are the next big thing, but have nothing to show for it.
By you being able to show your project, and incorporate feedback on it, you demonstrate that you can execute things and be part of the club of people who ship, not just talk.
There's a psychological hump everyone needs to get over. It's about self-esteem and failing. You're worth publicizing your own creation and getting feedback, and still getting people to check back to see how you innovate and improve upon your feedback.
these are genuine concerns and you should do everything you can to minimize them.
"What if no-one cares or uses it?"
this, not so much. did you have fun making it? did you learn something making it? will you learn something launching it? if you can financially afford for it not to be a big hit, and you learned and enjoyed yourself and made something you're proud of, it's not a loss.
Getting out and talking to a few people early lowers the amplitude of potential rejection and indifference because there is less psychological investment in a project or idea at an early stage. It also provides a means for empirical evidence about what people actually care about and use...and that's better than imagining because imagining often just becomes wishing.
Ship something. Good luck.
