Fear

Re: Fear

Question 1:

 

What feelings on the emotion wheel do you most often experience when you are fearful? 

 

For me, when I am fearful, the feelings that resonate with me most include:

- overwhelmed

- inadequate

- inferior

Thank you all for the courage and vulnerability to share those feelings. I tend to feel anxious, insecure, weak and exposed when I am experiencing fear too.

Re: Fear

Sorry but not sure I understand the question @cloudcore  - 

where in our body do we feel fear?

Do we give an example of a time when we feared of something???

 

not sure

Re: Fear

Hi @BlueBay , yes the question is referring to times or situations in your life when you have experienced or responded with fear. Smiley Happy

 

For me, I have lived with anxiety for many years and so I have to sat in a space of fear often. Specifically, fear can show up for me when I feel like my relationships, personal or professional, are changing or breaking down. 

 

What about for you?

Re: Fear

Fear of having a medical emergency or dying in my bed at night. No one will know as I am totally alone and isolated.  Anyhow, that's life, just got to accept my fate.

Re: Fear

im not sure that there is any part of my life where there isnt fear. im afraid of the things i see and feel and the memories that i have of the past which constantly come into mind. im always anxious in relationships and social situations. shows up in no confidencein self or anything i have to do and in my avoidance and procrastination of things.
