FEAR: |
A natural stress response
to a situation that threatens us. |
INSECURITY: |
A fear response to
"a perceived threat" to our health and well-being. We can feel
insecure just by thinking about or mentally simulating a situation. We often
have natural insecurities about areas of our life, for example in work and
relationships. |
PARANOIA: |
A form of heightened
insecurity in which we perceive a threat even when there is not one. An
irrational and illogical insecurity where fear has taken hold of us and
influences our ordinary perceptions. |
