what is fear?


Rawr I love you

Recommended Posts

Fear is how you react to something that you deem is a threat or danger to yourself, and if you can empathise then maybe even a threat or danger to other people. It's an instinctual response which is physical aswell as mental/emotional, enabling you to react suitably to the situation at hand (or at least its supposed to) 

Stuff like hearing/seeing things in the dark, scary because they could be potential predators, obvious things like fire, deadly animals, spiders. 
Basically, fear is a survival instinct, keeps you on your toes. Of course, humans are so stupidly complex and weird that we've now developed fears for things that aren't any threat to us, like fear of failure, fear of sponges, fear of not being liked etc.
