I believe that fear is basically one of the major human emotions which
was programmed into our nervous system and it then begin to work like an instinct for us..

Since childhood I believe that we were equipped with some sort of survival instincts which makes it necessary for us to be able to respond with fear whenever we are experiencing any form of danger or whenever we feel so unsafe..

As weird as it may sound to you , Fear do help to protect us from dangers , It gives us this mental alert to be able to prepare for danger and be able to deal with them..

The Feeling of fear is very natural — and it can be also helpful when used for the right situations.

In some situations, we can use fear as a tool of warning and a way to causion us that we really need to be more careful.

Just Like every other types of emotions, fear can be said to be mild, it could be something that is medium, it could come in an intense way, so it all depends on the situation itself and the person involved too..

The feeling of fear can just be a quick reaction and it could even be a very long term reaction so it depends on the person who is experiencing those fears.

As humans Whenever we sense that there is a danger ahead , our brain will react instantly, it then begins to send various signals to the nervous system and it gets activated ,which then will start to cause the physical responses such as having a faster heartbeat, experiencing some kind of rapid breathing, and even also an increase in the blood pressure...During the process the Blood starts to pump to their muscle groups in order to prepare the body for the physical action . The physical sensations that one experiences during fear can be strong or be mild, it depends on what the fear is about and who is experienced it..

Various individuals have what they fear or situations that makes them experience fear..

For instance, i am someone who have phobias for too much heights so whenever I am climbing a place that is very high i tend to be so afraid, infact whenever I want to travel by air i often get very scared..some people fears are water , some have fears of animals, some their own fears is failure, some people have fears concerning fire etc..

So different people have different things and situations which causes fear to them..

Experiencing fear can be truly healthy if it is able to caution you and help you to stay safe around something which you consider to be dangerous or not pleasant for you...it can be truly healthy if it prevents you from taking hurtful decisions..

But also we should be very careful about how we do handle our fears too...sometimes we need to just have to avoid those fears which are unnecessary and can even make cause more harm than good to us ...
