Are we talking about existential fears (e.g. child, or partner dying tragically) or more like weird unusual types of fear? 

The psychological ones, not the former. Like the one I described.

Probably going half insane. Being insane while still being able to rationalize that I have gone insane. 

Or being stuck in a hospital bed for 15 years under drug induced paralysis but still being concious

Nah that sounds like a fun time to me 

Not if you can't keep up. You've been dancing for 3yrs straight. I'm definitely not a robot. I love it, tho, even though sometimes it distracts me from your message cause I keep looking at it.??

Haha, yeah. Moving to Texas has taught me to not be as afraid of them as I originally thought.

That bad cancels out good. What if bad wins, forever and ever and ever?

I'm from Jamaica where there's bugs galore and I'm still afraid of them. Probably some ancestor trait. Who knows.

Probably death and pain in all its forms.

What is fear though? I think that might be a more fruitful inquiry.

Because I owe them money, I'm part of a rival gang, I'm captured and my family can't pay a ransom, or sometimes even completely "for free". In high school I had a crazy "friend" who showed me bestgore videos, I still remember a guy who had his eyes gouged out before having his mouth, ears, lips, fingers etc cut out. before having his heart ripped out while it was still beating.

laugh + phrase in spanish*

Yeah I think that's the worst that could happen ?

Why in Spanish? lol

Running over a child with my car. I don't think I could live after that.

Mine, being in a political or philosophical debate, my tounge gets tied, the opponent spread all kind of toxic and false ideas and I am unable to defend the truth.

A good practice for facing fears is to use your imagination. Imagine being in the situation you fear most, let all the negative feelings arise and then accept it. Let your body relax after it gets tense, let the negative feelings slowly leave the body while you are actively accepting the imagined situation.

 

All fear comes from a lack of Certainity.   So the deepest fear is uncertainty itself.   If you were omniscient- fear could not exist.  Becauze fear of the unknown IS fear.   Roosevelt said it well.  The only true fear is fear itself.  But what is fear?  Fear is the unknown.  It is endless possibility playing out in your head before it becomes actual.

Same! But by who or what?

I’m struggling to put into words what it is about. But I would say something along the lines of being exposed fully to my own undesirable perception of myself through interaction with  someone else (our sense of self exists in relation to others). This someone else could be anyone that I have a desire to have a desirable perception of myself around (meaning I don’t already have it) to be able to enjoy something from them (or most importantly to be able to enjoy something within myself that is drawn to them)

Fear is not real. It's due to your imagination.
