Informant #27708: Prior to any fighting of fear, one must recognize whether said fear is beneficial to survival.

Informant #36250: Try to be mentally tough. Tell yourself it is nothing and it isn't able to hurt you/ you are unable to do a thing in the world about it. You might also need to try to fight the fear or confront it.

Informant #36251: Depends on the type of fear. But the fears that you can get rid of, such as spiders, heights, closed spaces etc... you just have to be exposed to the thing you fear and it will usually go away.

She told me 11:30, albeit it's a little early i now know when is late and when i'm fine. So i don't have to be in constant fear when i'm out.
