    Mankind evolved out of fear.
    2. While legs can be bent rearward, hands can be bent forward only. Like deer out of fear running away from a chasing lion. We were hunters in the beginning. Either we hunt the sighted animal or run away. Fight or flight situation organised in the mind with production of cortisol harmon. To control unknown fear too, drink water suggested elders when one wakes up from eerie dream.
    Thanks and Regards.
    God bless.

    Okay. An intense worry, with a logical reason behind it ? Or you mean an intense worry, with no reason at all ?

    Exactly. You got my point. I refer to this fear, an intense disturbing fear, when everything in life is okay.

    What do you think this fear is due to ?

    Mostly a fear without reason. Right ?

    Yes.... accepting and understanding that it's a purely temporary phenomena solves the issue to great extent.

    Nope.... this is not a gender specific issue ; members of both the genders get affected by it, at equal frequency.

    The OP of this thread, myself, am a man. Three other male members have participated in this thread confirming that they also do get it.

    Sir,

    I agree with you. In Flight or fight reaction the cortisol secretion increases preparing the individual for intense physical action, but that is in response to a real threat around.

    Here we are talking about a slightly different issue..... the issue of intense fear when there is no real threat at all.

    :hello:I tend to agree.
    I thought fear could be due to imminent threat.
    I stand corrected.
    Thanks and Regards.
    God bless.

    Who presented this picture to you that fear is an emotion happening to women only ?
