Is fear always bad, and when does it become a problem?
Healthy fear versus crippling fear
Fear is a basic human emotion, hardwired into our psyche for self-preservation. When it arises for a few moments in danger, it pushes us into action for self-defense. It becomes a problem when it is excessive, irrational and long-lasting, because then it cripples life itself.
