Fear when its Near
Fear is an emotion induced by danger or threat which causes behavioural changes and physiological changes. Such as stopping our work from by remembering any bad or traumatic events. Fear is also caused due to attachment to work. Sometimes it triggers in danger or gives caution to do/not do.
Example, fear before writing exams, fear before
giving a speech, etc.
Fear is there because you are not living with your life, you are living with your mind. Where we create
our own fear by building ourselves. Whether it will occur or not, the
imagination builds on. As it is building up the fear increases more. So, your
fear is about which actually doesn't exist (non-existent), its imaginary which
is called insanity in big words.
Example, What is going to happen next? , will
he/she will think wrong about me? , will I disappoint you? And many more.
Commonly, we face these all fears in one stage or in the other stages of life
but in different forms.
If you are afraid, then you are suffering from
insanity? Oh! So many of them are insane if we get this definition in our life.
But yes, this is the truth that our mind plays a major role in fear. In our
mind, there are two things i.e., memory and imagination. As you are losing in
imagination the fear gets increased. If you are rooted in reality, there is no
fear while doing tasks. There is always a barricade in our mind, what the
people will think in society. As the problems increases, the imagination increases
and the fear get increasing more.
To get rid out of the fear, first, we must know
what fear we have. According to that, there are different solutions for many
fears, sometimes by self-treatment, sometimes by facing it, sometimes by
talking the things and sometimes there will be a need for psychologist/
psychiatrist.
The fear is created because of the attachment,
desires, importance and many more.
Now the question arises that why the fear is
dominated?
As we have more desires, the usage of efforts gets
increased and the fear gets increased.
Example, I have to take care of my family
responsibilities, friends, work, tasks, salary increment which makes me fearful
person inside. This fear is created because of more importance and attachment
towards the things happening around me.
When you start loving the thing, many people
develop an attachment, by that attachment people develop the fear to lose that
thing. In many cases, it was noted that the thing they like and the
thing what you like makes a major difference in fear. These both are two
ways one is attachment and other is love.
If you have no fear, you live incomplete
reality and if you have excessive imagination there is more creativity which
leads to creating more fear.
According to the psychologists, the fear is
emotional which exist in universal. In all, it is a biological change. There
are different types of fears: An appropriate fear, an innate fear and acquired
fear.
An
appropriate fear: This can be
considered as good fear that warns you to be careful.
Example: The fear protects from misbehaving the
things in front of parents or anybody. This fear helps you to protect.
An
acquired fear: This fear is
because you have experienced something in the past in your life.
Example: You get fear while swimming because you
got drowned once, which created a traumatic event.
Fear is created by different events or things
like self-doubting, self- assessment, not taking initial trust, lack of trust,
fear towards God and many more.
An
innate fear: This fear is
categorized since your birth.
Example: A person is scared of blood called
Hemophobic.
The fear is detected by Amygdala, which is a section of the brain that energize the events.
The amygdala function and its role are in our exceptional fear and other emotions.
There are four main factors which trigger to
create fear, i.e., uncertainty, attention, change and struggle. When this comes
into the picture there comes the fear.
Few fears are categorized into good fears, which
stops us to do wrong things and protects us to do that particular work. And
there is one more fear which stops us to attempt that event or to do that
thing. The worst fear stops us from exploring the things, this is considered as
a great challenge.
Fear is a chain reaction in the brain that
starts with a stressful stimulus and ends with the release of chemicals that
cause a racing heart, fast breathing and energized muscles, among other things,
also known as the fight-or-flight response. The fear can be overcome or else
can't be overcome.
If you don't have a fear of failing in the exam,
you don't even feel like studying. Fear works in different ways in different
persons, it all depends on the mindset. As we think more in our mind, the fear
is generated. In any competition, one can win his/her opponent out of fear that
he/she might be defeated, and another one will do nothing and lose because of
the fear. There is fear where we start judging ourselves or else you will think
that society will give allegation to you by fear.
Fear is necessary for our life, but many a time
it acts as evil. Fear saves you from a lot of trouble. It is like an inbuilt
mechanism of the human brain, which saves you by denying you from using your
brain in certain areas.
Example: Like going to a certain place, making
new friends, etc.
You might have a fear of something completely
harmless. It stops you completely to think about something rationally. It just
won’t allow you even to think about something (how good or bad things will
happen, it is yours if you can cope up with that challenge as fear or not, if
yes how) rather than actually doing it. This leads to an inhibited growth of
your mind.
A child who’s been living in fear of water will
never know the fun and soothing effects of swimming.
In my personal opinion, having fear is normal.
But knowing what you fear, and controlling it is an “art”. You have a fear,
it’s normal. But whether you blindly go along with it, or decide for yourself,
that where and how it can be controlled, taking rational decisions, is itself a
defining statement whether fear is a good thing or bad.
