What is fear exactly?

Fear is an emotion induced by a threat perceived by living entities, which causes a change in brain and organ function and ultimately a change in behavior, such as running away, hiding, or freezing from traumatic events.

Fear may occur in response to a specific stimulus happening in the present, or to a future situation, which is perceived as risk to health or life, status, power, security, or in the case of humans wealth or anything held valuable.

The fear response arises from the perception of danger leading to confrontation with or escape from/avoiding the threat (also known as the fight-or-flight response), which in extreme cases of fear (horror and terror) can be a freeze response or paralysis.

When is fear useful?

Danger, which causes our survival instinct to trigger, is a very real and healthy fear and is part of our survival system. This is the instinct that exploited by some and taught by others to control us. Once you are aware that your survival instinct is being triggered you can respond with the appropriate reaction. Navy Seals and many others are taught how to identify, control and master fear to perform tasks under life threatening (and thus survival mode) conditions. The good news is you can learn to master fear just as they have.

Is Fear an illusion?

Fear however is most often the illusion that something may come to pass. “I’m afraid to climb the ladder because I might fall.”  “I’m afraid to give the bum money because he may use it for drugs or alcohol.”  “I’m afraid to speak up because I might look stupid.” “I’m afraid to confront this situation because I don’t want to hurt the other person’s feelings.”
