I agree with GlitterRose's last comment. Fear can propel us into needed action, so in that respect I tend to see it as healthy and inevitable. On the other hand, fear can immobilize one from tackling things one has unhealthy fears about, such as phobias, and debilitating anxiety.
I tend to have social phobias and was forced to face my fears head on when my son got married. I not only had to face and interact with a lot of people, I even had to communicate with a person in particular that I hadn't talked to in years. needless to say it was very anxiety provoking, but I grew that day and have found myself less fearful of such events now.
