The Fear of Fear

The fear of fear is as complicated as fear itself, but fear's influence is as limited as the choices you make in dealing with it.


Fear needs a "stimulus" to be activated. The choice of stimulus is a conscious and personal decision - a spider, stage fright, the sight of a gun etc. In my opinion, an influential stimulus that affects most humans is probably the fear of failure.
