Fear

[Ace Rimmer]

Personally as of yet I have failed to observe it having a positive effect on me or anyone else that could not have been done better without fear (through rational means)

Fear is useful, or rather part of fear is useful. The cocktail of chemicals pumped into your body for the flight/fight/freeze response is good for what it was designed for, real danger. Tunnel vision, blood being pulled away from extremities, loss of control of the bowels etc etc, all useful if being preyed upon by something higher in the food chain. i.e. physical cave man stuff.

Not so useful for driving tests, meetings, interviews etc i.e. social situations in the modern world.

So are most people here fearful of animals, people, creepy things in the dark, or anything else? I get a lot of fear alone at night, but not about anything that I should rationally be afraid of, so it seems to not help me at all, haha

I'm not really fearful of anything in the dark. But nutters worry me.
