Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hi Pete, My observations with fear are different. Fear will only arise when there is a danger and you try to escape from. When there is no impulse to move away from that danger then fear can't arise. Fear without any preceding impuls to escape is not possible. And any kind of escape is thought. Werner P: I'm not going to question your observations of your own feelings. But it could be that: you are a special case. There are rare cases of individuals whose bodies do not produce enough of the hormone which triggers fear, for them to feel afraid. On the other hand, there are those other cases when the hormone is secreted in excess, producing chronic anxiety without any outward cause, or internal thoughts provoking the fear.
