Fear

Hello people! I'm back with a new topic! Well I have noticed through all my life I've lived up till now
that every one of us is afraid, or fear something or the other in life, it may be just one or many.....there are even those who give a name to it calling it 'phobia' which again is divided into categories isn't it?
But coming to reality which may not seem easy, any fear can be overcome as long as you keep trying to face your fear. so basically everything comes back to trying. there are different types of fears of course, and different ways to cope and overcome them.
                                               
But I want you guys to know, it's never wrong to be scared of fear something, because as we change, and grow up, our fears also change, I mean we stop being scared of little things but will be scared of new and maybe bigger things....so don't worry everything is for a reason, everything will teach you something new.


     Fears like heights, or stage fear, or fears of depth, or fear of confinement or confined places which they call claustrophobia, then there comes the fear of particular animals, these are all physical fears, while on the other hand there is the emotional fear that generally refers to fear of particular feelings, or people or even exam fear, which arise emotions such as panic or fear of taking a risk in a situation.    
 All these fears are often created due to past scenarios which occurred in the person's life or when we don't want a possible outcome to occur, I mean every situation has various possible outcomes, and some outcomes or results may not be likely favorable to us. So in those cases, we forget about the favorable outcomes and abandon the activity just based on the unfavorable results that MAY occur. This is what I mean by fear of taking a risk. Sometimes taking a step forward will be worth it, because even if the result doesn't turn out the way you want it, you will still learn something from every experience. But most of the time you need to weigh your pros and cons for every risk in life.  You must remember every experience is a learning and a higher step. If you stop yourself from going a step forward you might even miss the positive response that might have come. When it comes to fear, we should keep in mind that every mistake of ours will help us direct towards the right side by letting us know what is wrong and what we shouldn't do. So you should try your best not to be afraid taking a risk in particular situations.
     On the other hand, where there are physical fears, I must tell you that unless you face the subject of your fear, it'll be hard to overcome it. For example lets say I'm afraid of heights, then I should do something that involves activity with heights so that I while experiencing it shall realize that it is not harmful in the way I have imagined, so I will get accustomed to it and will be able to slowly overcome my fear of heights. Then there come the exam fears, or anxiety or fear of an emotional situation taking place again which may have harmed you emotionally or mentally before. So these cases require your courage to stand up to them and do your best and then let what happens to happen. It means you should learn to be contented with whatever result it is, and try your best to accept it, becuz,....everything happens for a reason, and every happening is a learning experience.
        If we talk particularly about exams, just don't stress yourself for the sake of passing as a topper or so for anyone's expectations, becuz that is your origin of fear of exams. And to be honest this stress an fear does the opposite of what you want the result to be. your mind will be more messed up and harder to get your answers out in the right moment. You know those people who do one day batting or something and still get good marks? well they study as much as they can and write it with confidence not really worrying about the result. Well I'm saying this cuz I'm one of them;)
     Let me talk about fear of death, cuz let's be honest, this fear is what leads to many other fears, like heights, or dark, becuz we fear that being at heights might end is up being hurt and may even cause near death, and also we fear dark becuz we don't know what the dark hides. Similarly we fear death becuz we don't know how death is....I've once read that we fear only becuz of the thought of death, but actual death is quite peaceful, you don't need to feel anything, no sadness, no guilt, no happiness, no fear, just calmness, and peace. So all fears just come from our thoughts....it's all in your thinking.As long as you are not afraid to face whatever is in the dark, you won't be afraid of the dark, and for that you'll have to know that the dark only holds your thoughts, in reality it's just blank space maybe with some furniture.  :b 
Anyway, so that's the thing, JUST FACE IT, don't worry about tomorrow, JUST DO YOUR BEST TODAY AND LET EVERYTHING HAPPEN, AND THEN LEARN. :)

Any fear you wanna discuss about please do comment below! I'm open to everyone!
