My greatest Fear

What is Fear?

Fear is a primal, natural, and powerful human emotion. It entails both a universal biochemical response and a strong individual emotional response. Fear alerts us to the presence of danger or the threat of harm, whether physical or psychological in nature.

Fear can arise from real threats, but it can also arise from imagined dangers. Fear can also be a symptom of certain mental illnesses, such as panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Some major causes of Fear

Fear is an extremely complex emotion. Some fears may be the result of past experiences or trauma, while others may be the result of something entirely different, such as a loss of control.

• Future events
• Particular objects or situations (spiders, snakes, heights, flying, etc)
• Real environmental threats
• The unknown

My greatest fear is me drowning. I am scared of water.I cant even stand close to pool.
