Like other emotions, it has some sense, some feelings, some intensity. Fear can be strong, medium, mild depending on the situation. Fear can be sometimes of a shorter period and sometimes it can last longer.

Fear of something isn't something negative to feel you just need to have the courage to deal with it to get positivity. Courage doesn't mean the absence of fear but it's an attempt to conquer fear.
Being a human I too have fears, fears that really give me anxiety but I always try to face my fear. I had faced one of my biggest fears, the fear of speaking in an assembly or any stage. I was okay with taking people around me but when it comes to delivering something on stage I couldn't face that situation. I always tried to run out of that situation by saying no or giving my task to my friends just to not face my fear. But a later situation came in my life where I couldn't even run or assign someone my task. That time I knew we all face our fear at some point and the only solution is dealing with it. I talked to my mentors about my biggest fear. They helped me a lot, they made me understand that I need to face this, and only by practicing can I overcome this fear. I started doing lots of practicing in front of my family, my friend and then I realized that only by facing and practicing I can overcome it. One day I got assigned to deliver a speech in assembly and now I don't need to run. I knew that time I could do this and I delivered my speech with confidence. That's how I faced my fear and overcame it.

Note:
Fear isn't negativity it's like all other emotions. Fear can be strong, medium, mild depending on the situation. Fear can be sometimes of a shorter period and sometimes it can last longer. We just need to have the courage to deal with it and try to overcome it.
