The Fear Project Part 1 version 1 Fear and a brief discussion...

Fear is an intensely unpleasant emotion in response to perceiving or recognizing a danger or threat. Fear causes psychological changes that may produce behavioral reactions such as mounting an aggressive response or fleeing the threat. Fear in human beings may occur in response to a certain stimulus occurring in the present, or in anticipation or expectation of a future threat perceived as a risk to oneself. The fear response arises from the perception of danger leading to confrontation with or escape from/avoiding the threat (also known as the fight-or-flight response), which in extreme cases of fear (horror and terror) can be a "freeze response".

Fear is closely related to the emotion Anxiety, which occurs as the result of often future threats that are PERCEIVED to be Now understand this……..often future threats that are perceived to be uncontrollable or unavoidable. That is very much different than anxiety. Anxiety I will cover in part two and once again, I think I’ve opened Pandora’s box. There are so many many different interpretations, Fearing, fight or flight, phobias, I’m gonna try and break it down for you. You Must Understand, although I studied psychology and sociology, in college, and although I have, I would promise you a great deal of experience ,and Education, I am not a credentialed, counselor of psychology or psychiatry more specifically. I will be sharing with you my experiences, my opinion, and you must understand and do the research follow the links that I leave you. I will leave you so many links. It’ll have your head spinning. And believe me, it’s tough reading. It is certainly at the university educational level, Material and information. However, I guarantee that if you do the research follow the links off of Wikipedia that I’ve listed above and below, I’m also going to try and put in a QR code so you can instantly go to the site I will make every effort to quote my sources and validate MY OPINION….. MY OPINION …. !!! My opinion will primarily be based off of my own personal experiences and attempt to identify this concept of fear versus anxiety in the plethora of other issues associated with human behavior. It’s going to be a fascinating ride. Do you understand what I mean? I would need to have a MINIMUM, of a masters degree in psychiatry / psychology, and have a credentialed teaching certificate and counseling credentials from the State of Utah, to be able to offer rock solid quotable information.

In psychology, Grandiosity is a sense of superiority, uniqueness, or invulnerability that is unrealistic and not based on personal capability. It may be expressed by exaggerated beliefs regarding one's abilities, the belief that few other people have anything in common with oneself, and that one can only be understood by a few, very special people.  The personality trait of grandiosity is principally associated with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), but also is a feature in the occurrence and expression of antisocial personality disorder, and the manic and hypomanic episodes of bipolar disorder

A note from the author :

Please understand, the video that is presented here, the various photos of my past, are intended to display some of the challenging events of my life. You likely noticed the various military awards and commendations. What most of you don't know, is that I was only 17 years old at the time I was sent off to the US Army Basic Training. I can assure you that most certainly I experienced fear at that time. I had to have my parents sign a waiver. I believed that did extremely well during Basic Training. Know one would believe how old I was. There are other photos' in the video of me doing quite well scuba diving, demolition derbys, theater arts etc. etc. Just know that I am in no way desiring to boast or display pride or anything like that. Nevertheless, I do know fear very well. At times this fear had nearly devastated me. There will be more content coming with "The Fear Project". Then, I intend to compare natural fear against irrational fear, phobias , and especially Anxiety. There is an enormous amount of material. Conditioned Fear is also content that I intend to examine. But please check the links and references that I will list. I have already discovered that the information that I am researching, IS , fairly difficult to comprehend. However, you may learn some things about yourself that will be helpful for us all.

~~~~ Ho'ld On To The Pole By Me_ThePeoplePerspectives And an introduction to AARP Fraud Watch Network

Hold On To The Pole  ~ and the  AARP

Please, my friends, take a moment, watch the video listen to the Content, (used with permission), I know it’s a bit long, then I would like for to you to ponder the words, the content…..(think).

 You may gain some additional understanding from my good friend Kelli. 

Do not lose hope, do not think that you are alone. You are not. '

But you must ask for help.  Or are you too proud , like myself.  If you’re seeking spiritual guidance, then research what is required to increase spiritual influence. 

Perhaps it is prayer to whatever higher power you subscribe to or worship to emulate their example. Now, let’s be very clear about “being a better person“.  I strive every day despite my handicaps and disability’s, when I go out in the public, I try to make people smile to make them laugh.  Even if I make a fool of myself, I could care less ,if I could make a person with a burden on their mind to laugh, to bring to them, even for just a moment, some degree of relief from our every day, stress, and chaos. I take great joy in this endeavor, despite how terrible I am feeling about my own issues , for one moment, or however many moments I can produce, if I can make someone else change their negative energy to positive energy then I have succeeded in my day.

Please, I know this video is a blit long but I’m telling you it is worth viewing and listening to and thinking about.

Leave a comment….. let me know what you think about it

Lolita Fashion

(Lolita fashion ロリータ・ファッション, rorīta fashion) is a subculture from Japan that is highly influenced by Victorian clothing and styles from the Rococo period.  A very distinctive property of Lolita fashion is the aesthetic of cuteness. This clothing subculture can be categorized into three main substyles: ‘gothic‘, ‘classic’, and ‘’sweet‘.  Many other substyles such as ‘sailor’, ‘country’, ‘hime’ “himi” Japanese word Princess (princess), ‘guro’ (grotesque), ‘qi’ and ‘wa’ (based on traditional Chinese and Japanese dress), ‘punk’, ‘shiro’ (white), ‘kuro’ (black), and ‘steampunk‘ lolita also exist. This style evolved into a widely followed subculture in Japan and other countries in the 1990s and 2000s and may have waned in Japan as of the 2010s as the fashion became more mainstream.

The main feature of Lolita fashion is the volume of the skirt, created by wearing a petticoat or crinoline. The skirt can be either,bell-shaped,or,A-line shape,. Components of the Lolita wardrobe consist mainly of a blouse (long or short sleeves) with a skirt or a dress, which usually, comes,to the knees.  Lolita’s frequently wear wigs in combination with other headwear such as hair bows or bonnets(similar to pokebonnets). Lolita’s can also wear Victorian style drawers under their petticoats. For further effect, some Lolitas use knee socks, ankle socks, or tights, together with either high heels  Other typical Lolita garments include jumperskirts (JSK) and one-pieces (OP).or flat shoes with a bow.

Steampunk features anachronistic technologies or retro futuristic inventions as people in the 19th century might have envisioned them — distinguishing it from Neo-Victorianism — and is likewise rooted in the era’s perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art.  Such technologies may include fictional machines like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne. Other examples of steampunk contain alternative-history-style presentations of such technology as steam cannons, lighter-than-airairships, analog computers, or such digital mechanical computers as Charles Babbage‘s Analytical Engine
