People experience fear from a young age until the day they die. Some fears are bigger than others and some can make a huge difference in our lives. People fear what they don’t know, it can come from their imaginations, movies or just a memory. Throughout my entire life I have always been afraid to do anything, but with time those fears have disappeared. The only fear that I can’t erase from my life is the fear of being left alone. It all started when I was in 2nd grade, I had since Pre-Kinder a group of friends which I saw almost every day and we became like a family. When we were about to end 2nd grade, two of my friends were going to move away to another country and my cousin was going to another school, the only friend I had left was one girl and one boy but I had a fear that my friends will leave me because I was not good enough anymore. Since that time, I always had that fear and no matter how hard I tried to get over it, it will simply not disappear. When I entered to 3rd grade I was so afraid and nervous to start the new year but as I entered it was all good. I started to …show more content…
As always I made new friends because new guys will always come to school. I had a big group which I enjoyed hanging out with because they were carefree, they didn’t care what other people think and I liked that. But I had to learn that they weren’t really my friends, I found out when one day I told one of them that I liked a boy and the next day she was flirting with him and telling him that she really liked him more than a friend. In that moment I didn’t feel sad but I felt betrayed and kind of stupid because I was a fool at thinking I could finally have loyal friends. I started to distance from them since that day. It was not a problem anymore because the next year they moved to another country. Since then I learned to never trust
Fear is something that everyone has. Fear can be found or created in every way shape and form. Some are scared of death, others are scared of mice. Fear can be found everywhere and for every reason. One thing that scares people is transformation or, change.
Fear is an involuntary response to a danger or threat in our surroundings. Whether it is an internal doubt or external fright, humans have been taught to view it as an obstacle to subdue. In "Ender’s Game” by Orson Scott Card, Card plays with the concept that fear can influence a human’s reactions to conflict. Similar concepts are shared in “What Fear Can Teach Us” by Karen Thompson Walker; the author congregates points on how our anxieties can actually be used to an advantage, instead of it being a vexing thought. In both pieces, the authors establish the idea of how fear can be a decisive mechanism.
When realizing what you fear, you are more likely to be scared and hurt by the fear. Since it has been feared for so long that idea of fear starts to fade without realizing it because it is normal at some point. Fearing something for so long can make someone lose hope in certain accomplishments and fights. Some people will live in fear because of the thought that what they fear will eventually catch up to them, “ Tis harder knowing it is due, Than knowing it is here.”
I did not have many friends before simply because I was too scared to try to relate with people mostly because I didn’t believe in people, and that was a mistake. I found out that summer that people are so much more than they appear to be. My crew was made up of a hippy, a hick, a soldier, a nerd (me), and a brainy girl. I learned so much about them and sure, there were some arguments, there were times where I didn’t know if it was going to be okay, but there were more times when I realized just how much i needed and appreciated each of them. During our work, I filled many different roles; I learned from this because the next year I took initiative and filled the role of tuba in the top band at school.
School was getting harder and more social things mattered. I established a good friend group and continued to live my life. I met this girl and built feelings for her, but in the long run, it dint work out. Because of the occasion of this happening, my friends make fun of me to this day. It was become a characteristic of mine, a trait.
Fear is a powerful emotion which causes individuals to act and react in concerning or reckless manners that could lead to hurting others.

Fear is an emotion that can break you physically and mentally depending on how it was brought up to you. “consequences of long-term fear include fatigue, clinical depression, and PTSD”.
Fear can stop you from enjoying life. Although that might be true Fear can save your life when needed as well.

Fear is a concept that is prominent in everyone’s life. Whether it is rational or not, we all fear something. Fear is the distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, pain, or evil. The differences in fear arise in how one copes with their fears and where their fear is derived from. The fear that humans most commonly succumb to would be the fear of the unknown.
Have you ever feared of doing something new? I knew for sure that I did, from my sixth birthday forward I am willing to overcome any obstacles that may stand in my way. I was six years old and in the 1st grade on vacation in Tampa, Florida. We were on our way to the humongous theme park known as Busch Gardens. When we had walked in, immediately anxiety had poured into my stomach and I started to feel slightly dizzy.
It was uncomfortable for me to be around my classmates, but everyone in the class seems to be nice to me because I was the new kid. They didn’t have problems with me and I didn’t have problems with them. As time goes on, I began to feel
Fear is the depravity of man—not merely that thing feared, but the act of fear itself. “Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” Nonetheless, the conquering of fear lies not in doing away with it completely, but by overcoming it.
Fear is something we all have programmed into our genes; it is nature installing a “caution” button inside us, because sometimes the unknown in nature really was extremely dangerous to us. Unknown might mean for example…eating a poisonous berry, it might mean getting lost from your tribe and it might mean entering a dangerous place that could kill you. There was a real point to fearing the unknown back then, it prolonged your life so that you might grow up strong, have your own family, spread your genes and keep your tribe
It is something we cannot stop. Many of us fear spiders or ghosts or even homework. But something all of us fear is the unknown. We have and we always will fear the unknown because we don’t know what the unknown is capable of. It is basic human nature.
College is one of the most important steps to improve the future of an individual’s life, nevertheless, many individuals, like myself, doubt embarking on the journey out of fear. In my personal experience, my fear was not as extreme. Even so, in extreme cases, fear develops into a persistent and irregular phobia. When humans feel fear it 's unpleasant which may lead to mild or extreme consequences that can manifest as symptoms such as stress, anxiety, depression, and panic attacks; additional symptoms may vary from person-to-person. From personal experience, before initiating college and during the beginning of college still has been a frightening experience due to feeling fearful of the possibility of failure, fearing my personality as an introvert, feeling incapable of learning, busy life, time constriction, and financial burden.
Even though fear creates strong emotions of displeasure, fear is not necessarily bad. Without fear, one could never learn how to overcome obstacles and feel a sense of achievement at the end of it. One fear I had a long time ago, was called achluophobia, or fear of the dark. This fear would absolutely terrify to the point that I could not sleep without light and would stay up if there was no light to drive away the nightmares that came with it. Over time, I began to realize that I could overcome this fear, it was possible.
