Ms. Aziz:
4 types of Fear u must know
We all want to dominate our fears and phobias. We don’t want that these negative reactions stop possessing us It will be even better if we control them and use them to your advantage.
The Result Of Fear
When you think that some things, people, or places can produce undesirable consequences when you are near them, that’s the result of fear.
The Role of Fear
Fear is really designed to warn you. It is your biological security alarm to keep you from treading unknown territory unprepared. If you re-discover the true role of fear in your life, you would find it a real friend in times of danger.
Fear is not meant to forbid you. It means to warn you for early preparation. Fear tells you to think twice before you launch into an adventure. It gives you time or another chance to prepare so that you can be better equipped the next time around. This is the correct perspective on fear.
For instance, the Bible is replete with warnings for the Jews to fear God. This was not to stop them from going to God. The fear was to make them extra careful about approaching a holy God.
Children are also trained to fear their parents, especially the father in a patriarchal setting. This is not to stop them from approaching their parents, but to keep the kids disciplined, in order to please the parents.
A trained dog fears his master so much, and yet it fondly approaches him with excitement. The master is delighted by a trained dog’s correct behavior.
Types Of Fears
There are four types of fear
1- Healthy Fear
You fear someone you highly respect. In this sense, fear is a byproduct of wisdom and high esteem. You don’t fear the person because you are afraid of him. You fear him because he excites admiration and reverence.
2- Alarming Fear
Alarming fear occurs when you sense some threat or danger in a place, person, or thing. The idea is not to stop you, but to make you very careful in your undertakings. The idea is to dissuade you from pursuing a wrong direction.
3- Debilitating Fear
Debilitating fear is synonymous to being afraid. In simple words, it turns you into a coward. It makes you want to suddenly disappear from the situation at hand. Debilitating fear makes you give up in fighting the thing you’re afraid of.
4- The No-Fear Guys
There are people who seem to be fearless — or at least they claim to be so. Some believe them, but others do not. There are people who claim that bravado is not the absence, but the conquest, of fear. This means fear is still intact; but brave people are able to conquer their fear masterfully.
