A: I'm afraid has two meanings
1) scared/frightened
2) sorry/apologizing

Examples
1) I'm so afraid of failing my class!
2) I'm afraid we are not able to help you today

A: I think the only difference is that when scared is a verb and afraid isn’t, so for example you can say “I just scared my friend” but not “I just afraid my friend”, or “you’re scaring her”, also, when you wanna say I’m sorry in a formal manner, you can say “I’m afraid I can’t help you” and not “I’m scared I can’t help you”, but other than that I can’t really think of any other differences

A: そのままで違いはないですが、人々は"I'm scared."をもっとよく言われます。

しかし、"I'm afraid."は他の意味もあります。その意味は「“残念ですが」という意味です。

例えば

"I'm afraid I can't go to the party tonight." = 残念だが（すみませんが）今夜のパーティーに行けない。

よくビジネスやフォーマルメールで使います。例えば

Dear Mr. Samson,

I am very sorry, but I am afraid I cannot attend today's meeting. = 大変申し訳ございませんが、今日の会議に出席できません。

この最後の文章にI'm afraidのフレーズは日本語に自然に翻訳できないと思いますが、英語で残念や後悔や誤っている感じがあります。

A: There’s really no difference between the two words, they mean the same thing.

A: Afraid: 怖がっている　（英語で形容詞）

Scare: 怖がらせる　（動詞）

Scary: 恐ろしい・怖い　(怖がらせることについて）

A: It's really just about how much you're afraid of it.
"Afraid of" is like you're just scared but "terrified of" is like you're more than just scared. You're really really scared of it. Like this a big fear of yours.
For example: "I'm afraid of spiders" so you don't like them but it's not a serious problem.
"I'm terrified of spiders" is more like it's kind of a phobia.
Hope this wasn't too confusing :)
