YOGYAKARTA Afraid of certain things, even what may not happen, actually makes life more complicated. Especially if in the middle of a problem, solutions will be more difficult to find. As Karl Albrecht, Ph.D., management teachers and consultants, fear of fear may cause more problems in our lives than fear itself.

Fear is defined as a feeling of anxiety caused by our anticipation of some events or experiences imagined. Medical experts tell that the feelings of anxiety we feel are standard biological reactions. Almost the same happens to everyone, that we are afraid of being bitten by a dog, being rejected, to auditing assets.

Basically, fear is information that gives us knowledge and understanding. Through fear, we can choose to accept it or anticipate it with the various weights of security that we envision ourselves. There are five basic fears that we ourselves create.

Albrecht gave an example of the first scary situation with a panic when looking at the edge of the tall building. This fear is more than the fear of death or existential anxiety that is common.

Fear of losing any part of our valuable body structure triggers the thought that the boundaries of our bodies are invaded. Launching Psychology Today, Friday, May 12, loss of the integrity of organs, body parts, or natural functions of the body often haunts. This anxiety then develops into fear of animals such as insects, spiders, snakes, and other scary things that evoke fear of losing the body's natural function.

This third type of fear, fear of being paralyzed, limited, overwhelmed, trapped, imprisoned, and controlled by circumstances beyond our control. In physical form, it is generally known as clauserophobia which then extends to our interactions and social relationships.

Separately, neglected, rejected, and lost ties are also fears that are thought to trigger problems. Forced and treated disrespectfully also formed a bad impact on its target.

Almost everyone doesn't like insults. Due to insults, shame, or an in-depth mechanism of self-disapproval threatens the loss of self-intention. This could trigger the destruction of the ability and feasibility that has been built before.

Fear is often the basic emotion that underlies anger. People who are oppressed, for example, they will go berserk for fear of losing autonomy and ego death. They are also afraid that their culture will be destroyed so that the collective ego will be turned off.

On the other hand, some fear certainly has value to survive. But it needs to be learned and realized to be skilled at responding and not harming yourself. It is also important to understand, fear also makes us avoid achieving better goals. That is, it needs to be skilled to reflect information from fear so that it can be interpreted, take strategic steps that do not limit your achievements, and do not make you fall into a stressful situation.
