Fear is a natural reaction to dangers of injury. If you have a chance to do something you perceive as harmful， you will usually avoid the danger. The problem occurs when the danger is not real or the fear is not rational.

You can overcome irrational fears by confronting them in a safe environment. Small successes over danger can build up your confidence and bravery. Sometimes you can also do this by following the example of others. There are two major types of fear in humans. One is the fear of physical harm. The other is the fear of looking foolish in the eyes of your peers and being ridiculed because of it.

People have many fears of injury， which are completely normal and rational. You may fear jumping out of an airplane with a parachute， because the consequence of failure is death.

It is possible to be ridiculed if you fail in front of other people. This probably the greatest fear people have. It can cause you to lose confidence and esteem. When people want to do something， there are many cases when they hesitate in doing it， because they fear of consequences of failure or some impending disaster. Fear limits what you will do in your lifetime.

You can overcome your fears by answering some questions about what you are afraid of. Write down a list of your fears and then， answer the questions about each fear you have listed. Be completely honest and non-judgmental with yourself. Decide to start self-exploration with an attitude of excitement.

恐懼是對傷害危險的自然反應。如果你有機會做你認為有害的事情，你通常會避免危險。當危險不真實或恐懼不合理時，問題就會出現。

你可以在一個安全的環境中克服非理性的恐懼。克服危險的小成功可以增強你的勇氣和堅持。有時候，你也可以通過效仿他人來做到這一點。人類有兩種主要的恐懼類型：一種是對身體傷害的恐懼，另一種是害怕在你的同齡人眼中顯得愚蠢，因此被嘲笑。

人們對傷害有很多恐懼，這是完全正常和理性的。你可能害怕帶著降落傘跳出飛機，因為失敗的后果是死亡。

如果你在別人面前失敗了，你可能會被嘲笑。這可能是人們最大的恐懼。它會使你失去信心和尊重。當人們想要做某件事的時候，有很多情況下他們會猶豫，因為他們害怕失敗的后果或一些迫在眉睫的災難。恐懼限制了你一生的所作所為。

你可以通過回答一些關于你害怕什么的問題來克服你的恐懼。寫下你的恐懼清單，然后回答你列出的每一個恐懼的問題。對自己要完全誠實，不要評判。決定以興奮的態度開始自我探索。
