An indirect and subtly underhanded technique of manipulation of folks about something or someone without them realizing it’s going on.
The trumpmachine has systematically employed “fearing” to sow seeds of white supremacy via its stance on building a wall to keep “illegals” out of the United States.

What usually keeps us from doing really, really stupid things (like jumping into a pool of pirahnas for example).
Some people think fear is a bad thing.
Some fears are stupid.
Some people think fear is a bad thing.
Some fears are stupid.
The only thing to fear is fear itself.

The Fear is something we all experience after a hard night on it when you wake up the next day, with no knowledge of what happened, terrified of who you spoke to, what you said & what you did. Then whilst searchin... See more through your sent texts you feel even worse and want to hide under your duvet and never come out...sometimes it results to tears. In short- the worst feeling in the world ...ever.
The Fear- Crazy night...wake up... realise you have sent texts to everyone you know, even those you havent spoke to for years talking the biggest pile of crap every spoken. Followed by flashbacks of sheer evilness.

Last night Katie had to chug a bottle of NyQuil to battle the fear because she had a big day at work on Monday.

An emotion which, irrespective of whatever previous emotion you were feeling, instantaneously makes you feel like you are going to die, fills your entire body with adrenaline and sends your heart rate off the scale.
Fear was a very useful evolutionary advance for millions of years, keeping mankind one step ahead of predators and snakes and shit but unfortunately it still occurs in trivial situations, such as:
- when you lean back on your chair to the point it feels like it might suddenly tip over
- when you are eating food in the street and you almost drop a bit on the floor
- when you have been smoking weed with your bong buddies for a few hours and a group of very tall, charismatic people you haven't met before suddenly show up
- when your girlfriend almost discovers the stash of tranny porn you acquired years ago but completely forgot about...until right now

"Are you coming to the pub?"
"No man I got severely drunk in there last night and exposed myself to everyone. I can't face their accusing eyes until the fear goes away."
