Fear is an unpleasant subjective emotional state arising in response to perceived dangers or threats and which, when experienced, is typically associated with physiological and psychological changes. These changes frequently lead to behavioral reactions such as fight-or-flight responses, the feeling of dread, and in extreme cases immobilization. Unlike most other animals, humans can experience fear in response to a present or anticipated stimulus and to imagined events.
