Fear is an instinct for self-preservation, our natural reaction that guards us from danger. Fear mobilizes our strength in the face of a real threat. We begin to think over each step, look for the right way out, do not make hasty actions, as we realize the negative possible consequences. If the "right" fear is with us, then we deliberately will not harm ourselves.

Step 1
But fear is also destructive. This is the fear of an imaginary danger, a fear that has been imposed on us, or we have invented a danger for ourselves. Such fear affects a person negatively, suppresses our emotional state, self-confidence, worsens mental health, and intensifies depression. You must fight such fears for your own well-being and happiness.
Step 2
In order to get rid of fear, tell yourself what you are afraid of. The most important thing is to understand the cause of your fears.
Step 3
Make a logical chain of where this fear originated. He may come from childhood, or he was born in some kind of conflict or event. If you find out the reason, you will feel much stronger than your fear and realize that there is nothing wrong with it. After all, sometimes fear is simply invented.
Step 4
The most effective way to deal with fears is to face your fears. Let's say you are very afraid of heights. To get rid of this fear, ride the Ferris wheel, trying to overcome your fear and completely forget it. If you are a shy person and find it difficult to communicate, then practice communicating with people.
Step 5
Try to start light conversations with strangers, for example, when you are standing somewhere in line. Try to get over your fear. As soon as you start fighting him, he will immediately retreat. But it will be stronger if you postpone this moment longer and longer.
Step 6
If you decide to fight your fear, and the first step is very scary, then you can help yourself in the following way. Imagine the most terrible end of events, analyze it and then you will understand that this simply cannot happen.
Step 7
But remember, we are now discussing those fears that we invent for ourselves. Build your self-esteem and positive thinking. The more you love yourself to believe in yourself, the less you will succumb to fears. Get more rest, get emotional relief and avoid stress.
Step 8
Well, if on your own you cannot overcome your fears, then contact a psychologist. An experienced psychologist can help you sort out the situation.
