For me, being afraid of something has everything to do with, like, stuff that's happened to me before. Like how you said if you were attacked by an animal, you'd be afraid of it.
I mean I guess I could try not to be scared of it if I wanted to. But it's that sorta thing that you can't really help, I guess. Like if someone's...I dunno, really scared of heights, but no matter how much they try or how much they go to really high places to get over it, they're still scared and always will be. Not that they aren't trying to face their fear or that they don't want to get over it, it's just something they can't for some reason. ...If that makes sense.
