I think today I will refer to an emotion or feeling. This is fear. I thought of this because it is a feeling that seems very present in a lot of adult people and it frustrates me a bit.
First of all, I think a good amount of fear is a good thing. It helps us avoid accidents, especially when we are kids. At that point we are fearless. The way parents can keep us safe is by warning us of all the bad things that can happen when we act independently. This is understandable.
The issue is when you grow older and all these fears continue to be present. And I think many times these relate to personal confidence but also to what society tells you on a regular basis. Things like "everything is dangerous", "people can be bad"," there is risk everywhere".
I am all for daring to do things and challenging those who fear, ideally with a bit of evidence on where there is a real risk. Having said this, I know there is risk in some activities or behaviour, and I have felt it. However, one has to be cautious, not fearful. I think there is a lot more regret in not trying than in doing stuff and perhaps failing.
What about you? How do you feel?

I think that is a great way to describe fear, we need it, but not in excess.
ReplyDeleteyour description of fear, remind me of inside out's fear uwu
ReplyDeletethe fear is a way to be cautious but sometimes we need to push the fear away and confront some things
ReplyDeleteI think being afraid of doing something shouldn't stop people from living, sometimes taking a risk is necessary
ReplyDeleteThe fear can be used an excuse to do and to don´t do things, it is a double edge gun, it is important in our lifes to avoid us as you say but sometimes it makes us stay in our comfort area and it get into our minds causing mental issues.
ReplyDeleteI think the society we live nowdays it's making us all have negative feelings regularly. And that's really sick and wrong.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I think society fosters that though, for example, the news today is only accidents, disasters and robberies.
