It’s natural to avoid the things we fear. Seeking out what terrifies me seems insane on a certain level, but more and more, the longer I’m alive, I find myself drawn to my most intense feelings, both good and bad. It seems that they are screaming out to me for a reason and that I have to know what they’re trying to say. Page Turner
About This Quote

When the subject of fear is brought up, many people automatically think of the physical sense of it. Fear is often associated with the feeling of being physically terrified. Fear is often associated with being attacked by a lion or being stuck in a burning building. However, fear can also be about the spiritual realm. Fear is not just something that you feel when you are in danger.

It is something that you feel when you are alone which is very common for most people. Fear can be about emotions, too. Fear is not always about danger but it is most often about emotions, both good and bad. There are two kinds of fears: they can either be good or bad. Fear can be good because it allows you to make decisions based on what you fear rather than what your ego wants. It takes away the need to please others and only serves your own purpose.

This allows you to live your life according to your decisions rather than someone else's agenda. Fear has many positive things about it, but there are also negative things that come along with it as well. One negative thing about fear is that it makes you jumpy, anxious, and nervous all the time which causes you to act out of character all the time which causes people to think negatively of you so they avoid you which causes another person to become afraid of you which causes another person to avoid you causing yet another person to become afraid causing yet another person to avoid causing yet another person to become afraid causing yet another person to avoid causing yet another person to become afraid causing yet another person to become afraid causing yet another person to avoid causing yet another person to become afraid causing yet another person to avoid fearing them causing yet another person to stop fearing them becoming afraid of them which causes them not wanting them around knowing they may cause them harm which causes them missing out on opportunities which causes them taking actions based on their fears instead of for their own purposes becoming less happy not enjoying life more depressed more prone to anxiety more prone to feelings of isolation having problems with self-esteem unable or unwilling or unable or unwilling or unable or unwilling or unable planning properly planning properly planning properly planning properly planning properly planning properly planning properly planning properly planning properly planning properly planning properly planning properly planning properly planning improperly not acting appropriately feeling uncomfortable feeling uncomfortable feeling uncomfortable feeling uncomfortable feeling uncomfortable feeling uncomfortable feeling uncomfortable having trouble keeping up in class in school in school in school in school in school in school in school in school in school in school in school in school in school in
