Fear is a bad emotion.

However sometimes fear can help us avoid danger.

We cannot always control fear, there are situation when it's impossible not to be in panic. Imagine being caught in a serious fire and you cannot find a way to escape!

At times I try to step away from my fear and question why I'm scared and what that fear says about me.

Whatever it is, there will always be something to fear. The real question is how much power we allow that fear to have over us. Too much fear can be paralyzing—it can hold you back, stop you from moving forward without you even realizing it. When fear becomes constant, it doesn’t just stay in your head, your body starts reacting too—stress, tension, sleep problems, even physical pain. And when that goes on for too long, prolonged, constant fear, that’s often when mental and emotional issues start to show up like anxiety disorders or depression.

Sounds like words to live by...but fear can be very powerful

When I do feel fear, I try to reason it out as to why I feel that way about whatever it is. Some people are so afraid of everything in life and so many ''what if's'' that they don't live their life, I would never want to do that.

I try not to let fear control much in my life. But, sometimes it helps me. Lol

Sometimes fear can be a good thing. It keeps us from driving off cliffs or stealing a million dollars, or putting ourselves in danger in other ways.

I try to tackle certain fears . . . but other fears are feelings I have of things I have no control over. Fear can be stressful.

You said it well. Fear is not something to laugh about. If I feel fear stepping I step back and try to analyze things. It usually helps.

I hear you. After all I have gone through, I think nothing really scares me anymore,

The worst fear is dying as we do not know what lies ahead despite whatever we believe in. Other fears can be overcome. We all worry we should not be incapacitated for long in old age.

I don't fear as much as I worry. I worry enough for 6 people.

Fear really is all the things you posted. Fear is unpleasant. I experienced fear like never before when Yvonne was taken into hospital last October. Fear she would die

i agree. it's such a strong emotion.
