The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

What is fear?

Fear can be triggered by real threats and it can also be triggered by imagined threats. Mental health disorders that cause phobias (PTSD) include anxiety attacks, social anxiety, fears and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Fear involves two types of reactions to a perceived threat: physical and emotional.

Reactive biochemistry:

A sense of insecurity that acts as a defense mechanism. Our body responds in different ways when we face a perceived threat. Fear makes us sweat, increases our heart rate and produces high amounts of adrenaline, which makes us very alert. 1

This response, often referred to as a 'fight or flight' response, prepares your body to take part in a conflict or flee. This metabolic process is most likely the result of evolution. It is a natural reaction necessary for our survival.

Emotional response:

Fear, on the other hand, is the most favorable emotional response. Fear can be considered pleasant in certain situations like when watching horror movies, because positive emotions like pleasure and excitement have the same biochemical reactions in our mind.

Some people are enthusiasts who develop dangerous sports and other adrenaline-pumping adventures. Others may react negatively to fear and avoid fear-inducing situations such as plague.
