One of the most common and primal emotion that is found in every human being is ‘fear’. Every human being, regardless of his or her age or circumstances, experiences fear at any stage of life. It can be the fear of dark, fear of being alone, fear of certain animals and insects, fear of failure, fear of monetary loss and many others.

Fear develops mainly because of uncertainty and doubt. When there is the feeling of not knowing what will happen next, fear creeps into the mind. Fear sometimes becomes so dominant that it completely takes over one’s lifestyle. For instance, the fear of failure sometimes drives the person to becoming a workaholic.

Sometimes fears develop into forms of uncontrollable psychological disorders and become phobias. According to the basic theory attempting to explain the occurrence of phobias and other irrational fears, fears are psychological traumas, experienced in one’s childhood, that have been forgotten, but a part of them has been stamped on one’s subconscious forever.

Emotions associated with trust include companionship, friendship, love, agreement, relaxation, comfort. When we trust someone, we may not only be giving them something in the hope of getting something back in the future, we may also be exposing ourselves in a way that can enable them to take advantage of our vulnerabilities. If I buy a car from you and I do not know a good price, you can lie to me so you get a better bargain. If I tell you in confidence about the problems I am having with work, you could use this to further your own career at my expense. These kind of acts betray the trust of the other person and not only do they make him or her feel betrayed, cheated and hurt, they also make it difficult for that particular person to trust someone ever again.
