The Fear Fear is a feeling that all of us have in some moment in our life. When we were children we were afraid of certain things but when we grow up we still have fears. Fear can help us to avoid dangerous situations or to scape when we are in danger but sometimes it's an impediment in our life because we don't try to do things that scare us even when they would be good for us. We may be afraid to fail or be afraid of what people may think of us. It's difficult to know when it helps us and when it becomes a problem.
