There are some fears and fears.
You can be afraid of dogs and not be afraid to compose emails.
You may be afraid to try something new, or you may be afraid to lose weight.
You may be afraid of work or fear of comfort (less often, probably).
The point is, I don’t think it’s a general thing – fear in general, but something very particular.
And if you manage to catch the main ones, for me the small fears are secondary.
I’m afraid of dogs, but I can walk on the street, even if I don’t always feel safe.
You may be afraid to speak in public, although that is somehow related to „I’m proud, I deserve to be praised, I’m extraordinary, I’m afraid to be vulnerable on stage.” It’s a fear of not being in the top 10, a form of pride. It matters how you frame fear and emotion.
Enormous impact – social conformity. Someone to give you a superior, an authority, an order.
And, also the fear of having success, and that of starting things – you feel good not having success, failing, and you feel good not taking responsibility.
