Why do people feel fear_Why do people feel afraid or terrified

I believe everyone has experienced fear and terror. That feeling is really unforgettable. Fear and terror are a way of expressing a person's emotions. Most of the time, fear and terror seem to be just two insignificant nouns, but some people will wonder why the human body produces emotions such as fear and terror? Today, let us understand fear and phobia together.

Understand the source of fear

Fear comes from uncertainty and the unknown about the future. When you are afraid, you should understand the source of your fear and why you are afraid. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you defeat it in the process of confrontation. At the same time, in the process of familiarity and understanding, your understanding of fear will also help you relieve more uncertainty and anxiety, so that the emotion of fear will be reduced.

Don't be friends with fear

When we are afraid, we are usually afraid of a thing or an event. So if you are always afraid of something and have enough understanding of it but still cannot overcome it, then you can stay away from the source of fear, or find someone who can help you, who happens not to be afraid of it, and let the other person share his courage with you to help you overcome it.

Live with faith

From a psychological perspective, faith is not entirely related to religion. Faith can be a form of psychological compensation. It can help us regulate our sense of imbalance and fear. It can be a religion, it can be a creed, it can be a sentence, all of which have the potential to help us get out of fear.

1. Accept yourself and build confidence

Many people with social phobia suffer from the inability to accept themselves and lack confidence in themselves. Therefore, if you want to change, you must first accept and accept yourself in your heart and build up confidence in yourself.

2. Don’t pursue perfection too much

If you pursue perfection too much and set too high standards for yourself, you will easily become anxious about gains and losses, care too much about what others think of you, and want to be recognized by others, thus losing yourself. Accept your current situation and don't care what others think. The more you fear making mistakes, the more helpless you will feel. No one is perfect, so don't set too high standards for yourself and have a correct understanding of yourself, regardless of your strengths or weaknesses.

3. Don’t worry about your image

Tension is always accompanied by a series of physical discomforts. According to reinforcement theory, if we pay too much attention to the nervous reactions of certain parts of our body when we are nervous, it is equivalent to reinforcing our nervous behavior. Make it heavier step by step. When we ignore our nervous reactions and images, the nervous reactions will gradually subside over time because the nervousness is not noticed and reinforced.

4. Face it Bravely

People who are nervous often show an evasive mentality in social situations, and are afraid of making a fool of themselves and not facing the situation. In fact, escaping cannot eliminate tension. On the contrary, it will make you feel cowardly and blame yourself, making you more nervous next time. Moreover, we cannot escape it for a lifetime. We live in this society and must interact with others. Sooner or later, we will all have to face it.

1. Overcome fear:

Anthropophobia is mainly caused by a "fear" psychology, such as fear of meeting strangers, fear of embarrassment, fear of expressing oneself, etc. This disease is developed through years of daily life, work, and study. Therefore, prevention and treatment requires gradually cultivating the ability to adapt to the outside world and consciously increasing contact with people and things around you in long-term daily life, work, and study.

2. Get rid of inferiority and enhance self-confidence:

Get rid of inferiority complex psychologically. If you have a negative mentality, you will often be unwilling to talk more. In addition, we need to enhance our self-confidence. From a psychological point of view, self-confidence is the degree of self-acceptance. A person who can fully accept himself is very confident, otherwise he will be inferior.

3. Be as easy-going as possible:

Don't be too careful about your behavior. Normal social activities are not mysterious at all. They are simply interactions and social interactions between people in society. Therefore, it is unnecessary to pay too much attention to your words and behaviors in social situations. Just be easy-going, generous, and natural. Say and do what you usually say and do in social situations. After a long time, you will get used to it.
