It's allowed me to remain empathetic to how scared people can get for similar obstacles, but remain strong in my own abilities to overcome; here's what I mean: When many of you and I went (15 comments)

Fear is caused by either the threat of immediate physical danger or it's the absence of facts, so we fill in the narrative with worst case scenarios.
