"The fears that assault us are mostly simple anxieties about social skills, about intimacy, about likeableness, or about performance. We need not give emotional food or charge to these fears or become attached to them. We donâ€™t even have to shame ourselves for having these fears. Simply ask your fears, â€œWhat are you trying to teach me?â€ Some say that FEAR is merely an acronym for â€œFalse Evidence Appearing Real.â€ From Everything Belongs, p. 143"
