Fear

Fear is a natural reaction to dangers of injury. If you have a chance to do something you perceive as harmful， you will usually avoid the danger. The problem occurs when the danger is not real or the fear is not rational.

You can overcome irrational fears by confronting them in a safe environment. Small successes over danger can build up your confidence and bravery. Sometimes you can also do this by following the example of others. There are two major types of fear in humans. One is the fear of physical harm. The other is the fear of looking foolish in the eyes of your peers and being ridiculed because of it.

People have many fears of injury， which are completely normal and rational. You may fear jumping out of an airplane with a parachute， because the consequence of failure is death.

It is possible to be ridiculed if you fail in front of other people. This is probably the greatest fear people have. It can cause you to lose confidence and esteem. When people want to do something， there are many cases when they hesitate in doing it， because they fear of consequences of failure or some impending disaster. Fear limits what you will do in your lifetime.

You can overcome your fears by answering some questions about what you are afraid of. Write down a list of your fears and then， answer the questions about each fear you have listed. Be completely honest and non-judgmental with yourself. Decide to start self-exploration with an attitude of excitement.

恐_懼

恐懼是在面對(duì)受傷的危險(xiǎn)時(shí)的一個(gè)自然反應(yīng)，如果你有一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)去做一些你察覺(jué)到有害的事情時(shí)，你通常會(huì)避開這些危險(xiǎn)，當(dāng)危險(xiǎn)不是真實(shí)的或恐懼是并不合情合理的，問(wèn)題就出現(xiàn)了。

你可以在一個(gè)安全的環(huán)境中面對(duì)他們，以克服無(wú)端的恐懼。從危險(xiǎn)中得到小成功可以增強(qiáng)你的自信與勇氣。有時(shí)你還可以通過(guò)以其他案例為例來(lái)解決它們。人類有兩種主要類型的恐懼：其一就是恐懼受到身體上的傷害，另一種則是你在你的同齡人中看起來(lái)是愚蠢的，并且因此受到嘲笑的恐懼。

人們對(duì)傷害有很多恐懼，這是完全正常且理性的，就像你可能害怕帶著降落傘跳下飛機(jī)，因?yàn)槭〉暮蠊麜?huì)是死亡。

如果你在別人面前失敗了，就有可能被嘲笑，這可能是人們最大的恐懼，這會(huì)導(dǎo)致你失去信心和自尊。當(dāng)人們想做某事時(shí)，有很多情況下他們會(huì)猶豫不決，因?yàn)樗麄兒ε率〉暮蠊蚣磳⒌絹?lái)的災(zāi)難?？謶窒拗屏四阋簧兴胍龅氖?。

你可以通過(guò)回答一些關(guān)于你害怕什么的問(wèn)題來(lái)克服恐懼，寫下你的恐懼清單，然后回答你所列出每種恐懼的問(wèn)題，對(duì)自己要完全誠(chéng)實(shí)，不偏不倚，決定以激動(dòng)興奮的態(tài)度開始自我探索。
