Why fear?!..

hey guys,

ok..basically i've been having a lot of exams recently..and i've kinda learnt a bit..but wanna no if i'm chattin nonsense or does it actually make sense..lol

so..my Q to you is that why do we ever fear someone or something..i mean..why do we get butterflies and start to worry?..

personally speaking..i think it's because we're scared..e.g. when we have an exam..we always start to worry and say OMG..i'm gonna do soo bad in my exams..but why fear if u think u've revised enough and you have full confidence in urself?😊😉

it's just a theory..i jus wanna know what u gusy think😛

lub u loads

i think examination fever is a normal thing... even when u spend 3 months in revision!!!.. for me it will exist even if i spend the whole of the year in just revision 😆 .. call it anything.... but i've been facing it despite of my vigorous revision.. and i still don't know why?? 😕

fear of memory lapse, fear of getting a question youu didn't study for. Basically fear of the unknown and what the future holds. 😛

speaking about exams i think its the fear of failure which is the most worrying thing. fear that you will not meet your expectations and not meet everyone elses expectations (teachers, mates, family etc)

for me my big sister has achieved everything that she was able to, and although no one mentions it there is some competitiveness between us two which always worries me. rather than revising to work to the best of my ability, i find that sometimes my moivation is to get more than her. Peer pressure and family pressure are the worst when it comes to exam.

in general we're nervous because we either feel threatend by the situation or are excited. i get worried, when i know that i've messed the computer up and am going to get into trouble and sometimes before i do a speech (once again its all biology 😉 i'll stop now before i start tying a whole bio lesson out 😳 )

I am not a type of a person who fears. I feel what you make of it. I only fear, fear itself. So I try to take whatever comes my way and not fear but just face it

Not in my case Aparna didi😛😉... At least i make sure to get a grip on the question through practice ( I am a bookworm like u!!!😉😆 😳) .....see, I said that whtever and how much I revise, I still can't get out of the exam fever😕... u may b right that it might b the fear of unknown and wht the future holds... as one time i have encountered a most unforeseen and toughtest time in my exam that wasn't related to my exam.. and it affected my exam very badly- not becoz i didn't study but becoz of the situation out of my control. And its quite hurting that a person studies for years to get the result and then some unforeseen event totally ruins it😭

Fear is just another human emotion to express themselves. There is nothing wrong with it 😕 Some people get more happy some show their happiness by jumping yelling some just laugh and smile. same with fear its just natural and fear of examination is natural too. It like anxiety ...like aparna said about questions not prepared for, or just about results and thinking how you will do. I don't find anything wrong with this emotion. 😛

yeah i agree with u jetmania...the main reason for my getting freaked out during exams is that i wont be able to live up to the expectations of my family and friends if i dont do well....actually even if u have prepared really well these fears tend to disrupt our calm before exams...its really normal with most ppl..another thing i get scared of is fear itself while im riting my paper because i remember this one instance during my board exam,that i was sooo scared i couldnt rite my paper even though it was dead easy...so before the exams i just hope and pray that im not possessed by these irrational fears while im riting the paper...i kno its sometimes unnecessary to fear that much but its really not easy to overcome them in a short span of time...we have to def work towards it.....
