Types Of Fears
Fear comes daily and often in our lives in the form of stress, worry, anxiety, and in a variety of other wasteful and negative forms. Let us look at some of the types of fear human beings suffer from:
* The unknown - for example, death or a new situation.
* Loneliness - sometimes people fear loneliness to the extent that they cannot bear their own company, preferring to lose themselves in superficial (artificial) relationships and activities.
* The future - as the problems of the world increase, whether political, economic, environmental, or social, this creates, or adds to, personal and collective fear of the future.
* Illness - sometimes because of fear of disease, people make their sickness worse than it is, or live in fear of contracting something horrible.
* Other people - usually, this is the greatest fear of all: fear of others' anger, rejection, judgment, and violence.
* Failure - some people avoid doing something or choose not to act because their fear of failure weakens initiative and confidence.
* Authority - this can be fear of a parent, a boss, or even God. Because authority has often been misused to control and suppress people, it is a normal result that fear, in the form of suspicion and mistrust, has become such a negative force, both personally and collectively, in society.
There are many reasons for these types of fear, but the main ones include:
* Past experiences, which brought disappointment, insecurity, or wariness (caution).
* Lack of faith in oneself and in others.
* The need for approval, to belong, or to be accepted.
* The habit of seeing things negatively.
Sometimes many things may not be in our hands. Along with faith in a GOOD GOD, please have faith in ourselves too. Please do things with good intentions – the rest will follow in life.
Regards
