Here’s a quick thought…
A lot of the things we fear are not necessarily because of fear of the actual thing. Like, people don’t really fear “failure”, for instance, for the most part, failing a test does not have intrinsic ability to trigger fear, but it’s what the consequences are perceived to be that inspires said fear. Like, what would people say when they realize I “failed”?, how will I look in front of my “peers” that will “advance”? I think you get the picture.
