How does one turn off fear?

Do you know?

Fear is a tool. It keeps us alive. It lets you know when you are in danger. It lets you know when you will have to flee or defend yourself. Keep it, use it, you'll live a much longer life.
@xixgun So true. Fight or flight response.

@Pitchblue And no one is afraid without cause. People like to throw "_____ phobe" around now as an insult. Well if someone is scared enough to have a phobia of someone or something, then that should be looked at and respected, not ridiculed. In some cases, that purported phobia is absolutely spot on and has a basis in fact, and no matter how much someone else wants to hug a particular group or thing - it's still dangerous.
@xixgun yes but theres a point where fear ruins your life... When you are afraid of things that cannot kill you then you have a problem
You don't you just learn to not let it control you.

You can't. It's part of being human. It's best to acknowledge and embrace it. Don't let it consume you. Always (and I mean always) do your best even if you feel fear. You aren't perfect but you can always get better with practice.
You have to face it. If you force yourself to do something you are afraid of you will most likely come away from the experience knowing you can do it and it really wasn't that bad.
Face it. But a little fear is good for people or our sense of danger would be debatable
@sdfdgsfasfdgsfasdasfsdgds what about the fight, flight and freeze responce?

@MushroomFaerie haha why do you care! you have almsot no cares in the world :)
@MushroomFaerie I saw 2 mentally handicapped people waiting for a bus, they were a couple and they looked really happy. I was thinking, I wish I wasn't smart enough to know how uneducated and ignorant I am. SO, sign me up for that lobotomy. 😉

Turn it into fuel and run with it
You don't. You control it. You can decide to either help you get away or use it to fuel your defense mechanism. You'll be surprised how much of a useful tool it can be.

The military gave me the discipline to size up and take on any challenge.
@Pfuzylogic The military teaches you how to turn fear or pain into anger/aggression.

@Pitchblue
I would say we went to different militaries. I was US Navy. Which service did you experience this from?
