Fear of deep water. 5 years old.
Fear of heights. 5 years old.
Multiple fears after doing certain things. Then immediately confronting that fear. Like a year after a bad motorcycle accident I went riding with my brother despite my fear.
Confronting my fears head on was what I learned at 5 years old.

@DeWayfarer Good for you facing that. I hear the more we try to turn away from fear the stronger it holds us. The more we hust normalize it the less it grows.

@Coralmist I believe it's a combination of things.
It's far easier to confront things when you are very young. This applies to anything. Even languages.
So if you have learned how to get over things very young, like when I did at 5, then getting over your fears is easier throughout your whole life.
It's been known since Aristotle learning things before the age of seven greatly helps define the person..
