Fear is normal.

Every animal on this planet has fear. Cats, Dogs, Sheep, Horses, Goats, Chickens, etc...

Without fear you could not exist.

Re: Ask me about fear!
I will keep my fear in check by mastering it. As I've always done, and so far as worked out ok and has never clouded my judgement but has helped me be safe. The instinct of self preservation comes from fear, fear of injury or death. We can debate nomenclature all day. It is what it is.

Re: Ask me about fear!
Evidently, you're theory is flawed. Fear is the driver of awareness of possible dangers.

That's why when a ladybug lands on your arm you don't have the same physiological reactions as if a tarantula crawls on you
 Quoting: AxE


Fear is not the driver of awarness of possible dangers. All fears can be taught to overcome, and you will still keep your instincts.

Aware of possible dangers is fear you Moran! Go back and study....I wasn't always in construction.
 Quoting: mr2


Its more about being aware of how to handle the fear, not the dangers. You can know of dangers without fearing them. I know that many things are dangerous that i do not fear.

Circling back to your initial statement.
If you would be a Jedi of basic emotions, you would know the basic emotions are fear and love btw ;)
 Quoting: AxE:MV8yMTMzNDY2XzM26MDE0OTU0Xzg5OTM4RDk0


Ofcourse all emotions are fear and love. A true spiritual awakening is when you reach 100% love. The way fear and love work is by shadowing the other. If there is lots of love, there is less fear. All fear can be qonquered eventually.

And if you think that will make you stupid you better think again. It will clean up your mind like you cant even think off before you get there. Pure stillness, peace in mind!
 Quoting: DontBeAfraidEVER

At first you say have no fear and now you say handle it....too different things! On that point I agree with you...to have no fear is just plain stupid.

Hey, you just answered the earlier poster...

To stop fearing death, you die ;)

Sounds funny but reminds me of a girl who told me that she had drowned in her swimming pool and was reanimated, and she wasn't afraid of drowning anymore, but was petrified at the idea of dying in a fire.

Fear is normal because we have been taught fear all our lives.

The ''fear'' you are talking about is the ''reptilian'' fear and has nothing to do with normal fears.

I dont really think you understand the debt of this. The rabbitwhole of fear is very very deep.

And i know its hard to understand, because i didnt either, for almost my entire life.

I will not force you to belive me =)

Like mentioned earlier, sincerety is key. If you dont want it youl will not get it either.

A fear is not a fear if you dont fear it!

It is something you do not longer fear! It still exist, but not in the same way.

That never stopped me since I mastered those fears. We both have very different views simply because of the fact you have to city boy life. If you think fear of kissing a girl is comparable to fear of death evidently your safe lifestyle keeps you from actual living.

Ever tried seadoo in white waters? Motocross, climbing a mountain, entered a war zone, had guns pointed at you? Walked on stage to perform live in front of 6500 people? I have, say I fared pretty well for someone not removing his fears but conquering them and embarrassing them for how they helped me accomplish my goals and perform better. (Fear of injury, death and failure, depending on the situation)

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32000827


Panic attacks and social phobia are mostly caused when you store too many sad/bad feelings inside your head at the same time. You have to consider your head as your house. And your house needs cleaning from time to time, or else it will get messy. And that my dear friend we certainly dont want do we? =)

Therefore you need to find out what is buggering you. You problably know most of these causes already. Make a list out of it, start at the bottom with what is the easiest fear to overcome and work yourself upwards. The biggest problem is that most people start at the top. They start with the fear they want to rid the most. And this will rarely work.

You can even make the list longer on purpose, just write up things that you find a little scary, but is doable. Like posting a video on youtube etc. Be open, at any way possible!

Meanwhile you are doing this i want you to think deeper into the problems, especially the ones you have overcome, all of them, small or big.

Think about for instance about what the things you are fearing really is. Explore it! Think about why you are fearing it. Think about it from every direction possible.

You have to understand it to overcome it.

The panic attacks will stop as soon as you have removed enough fear.

In the meantime i want you to learn how to breathe properly. Do this the whole day, or atleast as much as possible. The more air you are giving your brain the smaller are the chances of anything happening.

Also eat healthy, food has a LOT to say when it comes to your emotions and feelings.

And last but not least =) I want you to know that there is NOTHING wrong with you! The world is crazy, and not you! You should just laugh at it inside you. Be a little crazy yourself sometimes =)

Burst into happiness out of nowhere, go crazy! Smile, be happy!

Ive posted quite a few videos on the topic in this thread if you are interested;

Thread: Does it feel like your life is going in the wrong direction???

I especially recommend you to watch the videos about the amygdala. And the videos about triggering happiness =)

I wish you the best =)
