fear.

fear. fear is an emotional response to a perceived threat. it is a basic survival mechanism occurring in response to a specific stimulus, such as pain or the threat of danger.

pain, threat and danger all stimulate us to fear.

pain. physical pain. emotional pain. it can all be agonising. mourning the loss of someone. recovering from injury. or being bullied can increase that fear that is built up within you.

threat. the threat of a reduced lifespan. the threat of being alone. the threat of realizing what you onced believed in was all a lie can trigger fear and cause many irrational responses.

danger. when in danger, fight or flight kicks in. we fear for our lives. we fear for our safety. and we fear for our loved ones.

there are many people within society who live in fear. who cannot or do not want to speak up. some live with this fear because they do not have a choice. a cancer patient will always live in fear during the remission period for an onset and relapse may occur at any moment. parents have an instinct to fear for the safety of their children.

there are also those who fear for the smaller things. the fear of being alone. the fear of losing everything. the fear that they aren’t good enough. it is often very hard to find that confidence within yourself to stand up and be strong. it is at times to tackle issues head on. and at times, it may be too dim to find the assertiveness you need in order to succeed,
