I Fear Fear!

There are different types of fear. In fact this author clearly recognize that the types mentioned in this post are a little subjective to the author's opinions.

Here are some types of fear you need to understand, and identify in yourself or in another fellow - probably in a friend, a spouse, a teammate, a leader, a colleague, etc.

Types of Fear
#1. Conditioned Fear: did you know that some people have so conditioned themselves to feel some certain fear knowingly or unknowingly? For instance, Ali, a kid, at one point in time could stay at home alone for hours without fear of any danger. Then, his friend: Obi, cannot stay in the dark for a minute. But, when asked why he is afraid of the dark while is friend isn't, he answers: "I am just that way, am just afraid of the dark." The truth is, he has conditioned himself to fear darkness. He may not be able to point to any particular reason why this is so. To him, "that's just the way I am."

#2. Common Fear: there are some fear most of us naturally feel. We just feel them every now and then, with or without a specific reason. For instance, the feat of death. The fear of death is common to most people. They ask themselves:" What awaits me at the other side life?" or, "I am scared of what I would have to face at my death".
Really, the fear of death is a common fear people feel.

#3. Excessive Fear: this is panicking! So people panic over everything! They are scared the kids are going to injure each other in their absence, they are scared they may go poor, they are scared they may die young..... And if he or she is a Steemian, he is scared that after taking his time to write a post, he may not get Upvote. How sad!
He would have been defeated by fear!
