*Types Of Fears*

Fear comes daily and often in our lives in the form of stress, worry,
anxiety and in a variety of other wasteful and negative forms. Let us look
at some of the types of fear human beings suffer from:

** The unknown* - for example, death or a new situation.

** Loneliness* - sometimes people fear loneliness to the extent that they
cannot bear their own company, preferring to lose themselves in superficial
(artificial) relationships and activities.

** The future* - as the problems of the world increase, whether political,
economic, environmental or social, this creates, or adds to, personal and
collective fear of the future.

** Illness* - sometimes because of fear of disease, people make their
sickness worse than it is, or live in fear of inflicting (getting) something
horrible.

** Other people* - usually this is the greatest fear of all: fear of others'
anger, rejection, judgement and violence.
