We live in a society full of fears. Fear is like a poison boring through our veins, making us freeze and terrified to take certain actions in our lives. From Ablutophobia (fear of washing or bathing) to Decidophobia (fear of making decisions) to Zeusophobia (for of gods), we seem to fear everything and anything under the sun.
Sometimes we dread doing certain things because we fear rejection. We are afraid of introducing ourselves to the opposite sex because we fear rejection. We are terrified of asking for money because we fear rejection. We have nightmares over asking for a promotion because we fear rejection. Let’s view it from a different perspective. What’s the worst possible thing that will happen to you if you take action? You’ll remain where you left off. And the best possible result? You’ll get that date you’ve always wanted. You’ll receive the money. You’ll obtain the promotion.
TRUE FEAR to me is fears that is NOT are worth overcoming. Sometimes, fear can be good; fear can save lives and help you enhance your character. There are 3 questions you need to ask yourself before forging ahead to conquer the fear of whatever you’re thinking of doing:
Is it harmful to myself and others? Do you fear walking in the dark alley? Most will answer a definite yes. You fear being mugged, or worse, raped. Fear of an action that can potentially bring harm is respectable fear, for it saves lives. Do you drive like a maniac with your lovely wife and kids in the car? Obviously you fear doing that. You don’t want to get them killed. So again, this fear is good and not worth abusing since abusing it would probably result in destruction to yourself and those you love.
What is your intention? Are you taking actions that have bad intentions? A bank robber definitely feels fear when he’s about to rob a bank. Is that a good fear? Definitely! Will he benefit if he worries enough not to take action? Of course! This kind of fear is actually worth listening to for it prevents you from taking actions that are malicious.
Is it something stupid? Are you being challenged to perform some stupid task, like swallowing a can of worms for money? Believe me, this kind of horror is not worth conquering because the action will have nothing to do with improving your overall personal development. You might even be labeled as “that guy who would do anything for money”! Usually, you rise to the challenge because your ego is at stake. You actually fear being called a chicken. So, the best advice is: let it be. Conquer that big ego of yours instead.

True courage is overcoming fear enough to make fun of people who have no life & make fun of people asking real questions. Congratulations!!
True fear is a feeling (anxiety) that something will happen to cause a loss of something you want or something you already have. This could be anything from life, limb, friend, your yo yo, - anything either tangible or intangible.
Let's cut it short & keep it simple.
Fear is is either a noun or a verb that means anything creating anxiety, is anxiety, or the act of feeling anxious.. It can be intense or minor, but it is all true fear.

That regardless of how a lot education I get I will under no circumstances believe convinced with what I completed, and I would possibly not believe like I've lived as much as the expectancies set by way of my YOUNGER siblings.

Fear comes from imagining things and fearing that they will come true. Most of the times they are just imagined, and most of the things we fear never come to pass. Also called 'false evidence appearing real'

Fear is a phobia of something. Phobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by extreme and irrational fear of simple things or social situations; "phobic disorder is a general term for all phobias"

It's night, you can't see anything. You know that there is a predatious animal stalking you, but you can't see it. You know it's there and it can see you and is stalking you, but you don't know where it is. At any time you could feel it's weight on your back and it's teeth and claws on your skin, but again, you don't know from where and when it will come, but you know it will. To me, that is fear, and one that humans have almost no experience any more.
