Well there is a fine line rather between the two. I think that to me, anxiety just comes across as a more paralyzing kind of fear. With a lot of fears, with a lot of phobias, we are just going to just tend to rather grit our teeth and just push ourselves forward, push ourselves past them. We might not like it, but it is there. Then those are those paralyzing fears, that just rather blow up to full blown anxieties and rather cause us to have our life derailed. That to me is where the line exists. We have fears, but fears are rather fine, if we go get behind them. There are times when we have anxiety, where it adversely rather affects our life and causes us to go off of the rails. That to me is the difference.
