Are you limited by your fears? In what way(s)?

Answer 1

Yes, my fear gets in the way of my faith in God. Intellectually, I know all things are possible through God. But when fear kicks in, I have a very hard time praying my way past it. I will say, the older I get and the more practice I have, the easier it is to turn to God in times of astronomical fear.

Answer 2

Yes. The various experiences in fear limit. Generally when fear has a material object as its identified cause such as an animal or symptom of threat to safety, a strange machine or a symptom of an unknown disease, the procedure or reaction, depending on the persons knowledge, has a simple description, e.g. run, get a weapon, avoid the machines path, see a doctor or look up the symptoms in a medical book etc.. But if the fear has no material object for its explanation, then the reaction has no simple procedural description.

In comparative conditions of mind, fear is the most limited condition of the limited human condition. Fear stops all else for its nature is to take priority over the human being. When there is not an object for its causal description, its anxiety forces stoppage, but there is no sense to derive or conceptualize a course for action, nothing to run from, nothing to run to, no known weapon against it. Sometimes human contact helps and sometimes physical action, intense work transforms the fear into peace.

The field of psychiatry was for the most part developed around the objectless fear.

Without fear we could not survive for fear is supplied by all the mysterious process of natural mind. Without the demand, there would be no supply. Does this mean that fear is the master of intellectual development. Yes, but emotions generally are as water into water; when water enters water, who could see which water is which, the two are in confluence and undifferentiable and there are more than two emotions, all of which may flow together at the same time and for different reasons. It is best when fear has no opportunity to take command by reason of objective threat but potential threat. The comparing of threat values is philsophical and dependant on belief.

Answer 3

I just had surgery 7 days ago. My fear was anticipating
a result of a positive nature or not. Having walked in enormous pain for 15 yrs after the first surgery, I knew this maybe my last hope, an ankle fusion. My other concern was, would I wake up afterwords, placing this all into the Lords hands I knew it would be all up to him. Day of surgery I was calm and relaxed. Sure enough all went well. The outcome for the surgery is yet to unfold in 11 more weeks. It is in his hands and I await with no fears or concerns of the outcome.. Sure I am in a cast for 6 more weeks, then a brace for 5 weeks. without putting my foot on the floor to walk, however, I see the panoramic view down the road it is worth being patient for..no I am not kidding myself.

Answer 4

I have an irrational fear of deep waters. As soon as I immerse myself in a pool that's only 5 ft deep (I am 5' 4.5" tall) I suddenly can't breathe, it starts off mild then as the minutes go by it gets worse and worse. This did impede me from enjoying myself on our honeymoon when we went snorkeling. I tried getting in the water 3 times, and all three times I lost it. So I turned in my gear and sat on the Catamaran (sp?). My husband on the other hand was a fish, swimming in the deep waters while taking pictures underwater. I don't understand it, but one of my sisters also experiences this. We both have asthma, but I don't think this should be a reason, since there was a lady there at the snorkeling outing that had asthma and she was all over the water looking at all the cool fish. I don't know. It frustrates me that I can't beat this. Although my other fear of heights is kicked (for now). I used to have fits in my stomach before boarding a roller coaster, now I have no problem. My husband helped me through this one, thankfully!

Answer 5

Well I have fears that limit me but not in every day life. For instance I've always had a fear of heights, but as I get older it gets worse. As a kid I would have no problems going on a roller coaster, now you couldn't get me on one if you paid me to.

Answer 6

No. First, it is healthy to have fears. Everyone has them and that makes them a normative part of the human psyche.
Second, fears are helpful because they help us confront the borders of our sanity, and sometimes, can even help us grow (if we confront and successfully work through the fear.)

Answer 7

I am afraid to say alot of things to people for fear I will sound silly. That is why I have trouble building relationships because I won't speak up.

Answer 8
