One of the most powerful negative emotions is fear. The feeling of fear arises mainly from experiences from childhood, that is, it is based on the experiences of the past, unless, of course, it is associated with the danger arising at a given moment in time. Fear is the constant work of "thoughts-viruses" that have appeared as a result of incorrect parenting, mistaken worldview of teachers in school or culture.
If you think about it, fear in reality itself has no basis. Fear is a small child living in every adult who sometimes wakes up and begins to interfere with the quiet life of an adult. Some believe that fear must be dealt with exclusively, interrupting it with willpower. But you won't get rid of it so easily.
Outwardly, we try to pretend that with the help of logic we have convinced ourselves that there is no fear, but a frightened child, hiding inside consciousness, cannot perceive these arguments of reason. Few people know about this, but a child has only two types of fear, the rest are only varieties from the first two, these are: fear of not being loved and fear based on survival. If you think about it, you can agree that most of the fears of very different people do revolve around these basic types of fear.
Unfortunately, from childhood, we are taught to overcome fear only through persuasion and suppression, and we just need to teach ease in dealing with fear. Of course, everyone wants to look strong and any person will go to any tricks, just to create an image of a person who is not afraid of anything. We become ashamed of what and what we are afraid of, and we begin to torment ourselves for it.
If we learn to naturally accept the presence of fear or phobias, instead of considering strength only as the absence of fear, then our matured self will stop transforming into the fear of a small child. Instead of appreciating our sensitivity through a bias against phobias, we hide it. The way to overcome fear is through self-knowledge. Realize your capabilities and discard harsh criticism of yourself.
