Fears to Manage
Fear is: An anxious feeling,
caused by our anticipation of some imagined event or experience.
Fear is an emotion that protects us from
the threats in our surroundings, and which has evolved to become more complex;
with our fears extending from the weird to the plain absurd, there are certain
fears that the great majority of human beings share. I was searching around and
found a lot of lists with common phobias and their explanations, but none where
these types of fears were discussed. This is a list of 10 of the human fears
that every member of a society deals with throughout their life
There
are only five basic fears, out of which almost all of our other
so-called fears are manufactured. These are:
1. Extinction—the fear
of annihilation, of ceasing to exist. This is a more fundamental way to express
it than just calling it "fear of death."
2. Mutilation—the fear
of losing any part of our of any organ, body part, or natural function. Anxiety about
animals, such as bugs, spiders, snakes, and other creepy things arises from
fear of mutilation.
3. Loss of Autonomy—the
fear of being immobilized, paralyzed, restricted, enveloped, overwhelmed,
entrapped, imprisoned, smothered, or otherwise controlled by circumstances
beyond our control..
4. Separation—the fear
of abandonment, rejection, and loss of connectedness; of becoming a
non-person—not wanted, respected, or valued by anyone else
5. Ego-death—the fear of
humiliation, shame, or any other mechanism of profound self-disapproval that
threatens the loss of integrity of the Self; the fear of the
shattering or disintegration of one's constructed sense of lovability,
capability, and worthiness.
6. Disappointment : The fear of disappointment
is part of the reason we avoid the unknown, disappointment is that feeling of
dissatisfaction when our expectations do not match what actually happened. It
is obvious that we make our best effort to avoid that, and, like pain, disappointment
is a negative feeling
Pain hurts and
extreme pain is excruciating. Pain is designed to protect the body by making us
take care of physical damage to ourselves. This can become unhelpful when we
have got the message yet the pain continues. We might also consider that high
levels of pain are unnecessary.
7. Pain can be
psychological as well as physical.. Most fear is felt this way, which is why we
may fear fear itself. that sometimes is followed by regret, in which
a person wonders if their choices contributed to the outcome
Fear of
failure
A worry is that we will react
unthinkingly, getting angry or excited and do things we will later regret.
Failing to have sufficient self-control is a big issue for some people. A more
common fear is that we will fail at a task due to a lack of skills, making
silly mistakes, being unable to influence others, or any of the many other
reasons that things go wrong for us.
But
with more than 100,000 commercial flights around the world each day, the
chances of being struck by lightning are higher than dying in a plane crash.
