People - and other animals - tend to fear the unknown. Way, way back in history, this could have made sense for human beings, because it was a big bad and potentially dangerous world out there.
Today people who react with fear in the face of the unknown, of things they can't understand or seem strange to them - they are basically insecure. Once a person feels secure and self-assured, there won't be so much fear.
That's also why trying to explain things to someone who is afraid can help - the more we know and understand, the less we will be afraid.
because of where people grow up and their experiences, for instance, if, when you were little, you were bitten by a group of spiders, you might be afraid of them whent hey grow up, in tropical countries, because people come into contact with those insects day in and day out, they tend not to fear them as much.
Also, it could be from mimiking other people's reaction, for example, if you were a child and there was a spider in your bedroom, and your parents freaked out, that would switch onto you.
Hope this helped
people dun get scared, the paranoia at start is just a reflex reaction, just like how you would duck if I threw a baseball at you unexpectedly, even though you have enough strength and confidence to catch it.
a scare is only if its been repetitive over a long period of time and then it becomes a phobia.
so make sure you trying everything once at least before deciding, is what I feel about the situation.. cheers !!
People are scared of things they don't understand. It doesn't make sense to them so they just fear them or hate them depending on the circumstances.
Change CAN and be pretty difficult , but we all need to do it !
at least "change for the 'better'"
because they cant face their fears
bcus they are insecure.I guess:/
