How do you defeat fear?? I do not say "overcome" but defeat

do you think, that once you fear something... you start "believing" in it? How do you let go of it?

One thing I realized today was if you are scared of something, you tend to get bad thoughts, irritated, fall back on thinking ill etc... makes you behave badly. and I personally feel this is your insecurity speaking. and at the end it helps no one and interferes with your well being.

But at the same time if you just smile and tell yourself that there is nothing to fear and even if there is, I will overcome it and ask why do we fear it??? get to the root cause of it. It is a bit difficult but not impossible. and at the end it gives a very good feeling and makes you stronger. and even helps you help other people defeat fear.

I know this is all known... but I just felt it today and had to get it out.

absolutely true and priceless words. something in the inner core of yours makes you wonder why you did this, why you did that, what went wrong, etc. etc. , but if you think it through, it wasn't actually something out of your hands. i mean, you could well do something about it and things would've been far more impressive. but this all occurs when the situation has passed, when you've actually vented your share of resentment and agitation. that's what one needs to conquer. that's self-control.

You do not defeat or overcome fears.  They are natural and life saving qualities built into us as human beings.  Consider that we have the fight or flight response to all experiences based upon fears.  

What we can do is release them, particularly when they become overwhelming and we can do nothing else to solve the situation at hand.

Fear is a vital response to physical and emotional danger—if we couldn't feel it, we couldn't protect ourselves from legitimate threats. But often we fear situations that are in no way life-or-death, and thus hang back for no good reason. Traumas or bad experiences can trigger a fear response within us that is hard to quell. Yet exposing ourselves to our personal demons is the best way to move past them.


Fear should be distinguished from the related emotional state of anxiety, which typically occurs without any external threat. Additionally, fear is related to the specific behaviors of escape and avoidance, whereas anxiety is the result of threats which are perceived to be uncontrollable or unavoidable

In today's world there are many problems that produce fear and guilt in the lives of people. The resulting stress becomes at times, unbearable, and may ultimately lead to emotional breakdowns and physical problems. The Creator of our bodies never intended for mankind to live under these kinds of problems, for which we were never created.

It is really a useful topic; we may feel some unexplainable fears, including defeat fear. I think every emotion fear, anxiety, hate, love etc up to a certain limit are useful. To fear to cross the road in heavy traffic is useful otherwise we may heart our self. We suffer some unpleasant, fearful incidents in past, which we forget but they become the part of our subconscious.
While playing cards with friends, I feel uneasy, even fearful which I don’t understand for a long time. But as I go to past it reveals that my father was very against playing cards, he think that it leads to gambling and impediment in education, he use to threats me aggressively which I forget later.
At leisure it is useful to travel in past to find the unexplainable fears.
