Thoughts on fear?

So lately more so than ever I've realized I don't fear people. I don't fear situations. I don't fear much of anything. I start thinking and planning years, weeks days in advance for every situation. I've planned out everything that could happen to me. I have plans in my head for everything very far in advance. I am never scared going into a fight, going into a room of people I dislike. Never scared of anything so far. Your thoughts?

I think that based on the infinite amount of parallel universes and infinite amount of possible branches at every infinitely small amount of time, you haven't planned for every situation

 

and you should be ready for that because situations will happen when you least expect it, something that you could never have planed for

 

so instead of planning for the future, plan for now, and plan to improvise when the time comes

Of course every is an exaggeration. Planning is less of the message here (although I can play thing by ear also. I was in Law Enforcement you have to be good at it). More so on my lack of fear, I find it odd. I've never met anyone who has a lack of fear like myself.

well there are a lot of people with lack of fear

which is why you cant notice it

cause theyre not afraid, and you can only notice fear, not non-fear

 

a lot of them are psychopaths too :P lol

Perhaps a situation which reveals your mortality and vulnerability will change that.

 

There has to be SOMETHING you fear.

There is one thing I fear. Losing people close to me. Friends, family, loved ones, etc. 

 

I don't fear for myself ever. I been in situations were I've been shot at. I've been hospitalize almost dead for a number of reasons. I don't fear for myself but I fear for others. I have strong empathy and sympathy.

I don't remember the last time I felt fear for anything.

When I was a little kid I was afraid of a lot of things, but now I just accept things for what they are and move on.

My grandpa died a few days ago, and I felt like shit for the following 2-3 days after that, now I just accepted it and I will remember him till the day I die.

A locked bathroom in the right place can make all the difference in the world.

Interesting. This seems like rather than a lack of fear, an acceptance of what will happen. For me at least there is never the thought beforehand.

Well, if shit's about to hit the fan, and there's nothing I could do to prevent it, then bring it on whatever it is.

Fear just like every other human emotion is healthy in moderation.  But just like every other human emotion too little of it or too much of it can be damaging.

 

Fear keeps you on your toes, helps keep you alive.

 

Not enough of it and you become wreck less and a danger to yourself and others. 

too much of it and you shut down and isolate yourself.

I like fear.. In moderation.

It gets my body revved up with all the adrenaline and other crap.

My newfound anxiety put a dampener on that though.. Making fear a bit more of a chore.

I live dont fear much of anything. I just prepare for it and the consequences. As my current lifestyle is I have alot of free time so, I play out random scenarios in my head on what would happen and how I would react. Everyone gets startled though. I generally dont scared when threatened, for the better(and sometimes worse) I get fired up and mad which is sometimes good and sometimes bad. I'm quite different from people as there are all sorts of things wrong with me, that are called out. My lack of fear is one of the more common things that is called out by other people.

When threatened, I get kind of a weird arrogance to me. But not that I think I am better. Like when you see people in movies with a gun to there head and they just calmly talk to the person explaining why that is a bad idea? That kind.

I do that. I actually did get a gun pulled on me I was younger. I was talking to the guy about how he would get caught and thrown in the slammer for life and get trashed by other inmates for killing a kid, as i was sweating like crazy, and then finally reached a sewing needly i had in my pocket for some reason or something sharp and bent my knees quickly jammed the needle up a great place and then dashed. Thats sorta around the time I lost my fear.

When I was 16 or so. I was camping with a friend who happen to be a girl. I man came up and threatened her and I with a gun because we "gave him a funny look" I called the cops. It was a remote area they said they were a half hour out. When the guy came back I managed to disarm him (took a metal pole from the camp ground and whacked his knuckles). He dropped the gun which I then locked away until the cops could get there after restraining him. That is when I lost fear. That is also when I decided to become a police officer.

Well I've been interested in law enforcement for a while. So how is it? And should I do it?

Should you do it: If you really want to. Yes. 

How is it:  Tough. Lots of hard work. You have to wear a lot of hats (metaphorically). You have to be a: Police Officer, a counselor, an adviser, a protector etc.  Long hours, plus overtime on court dates. If you think you are ready go for it.

Well It sounds great. I think I'd like it alot more than some other jobs. Is there any college education required?
