According to psychologists at Wayne State University, America, fear is an instinctive response to protect us from threats, but it can also bring excitement to many people because they can escape. from everyday thoughts or when they overcome fear, Independent on October 29 reported.

The fear reaction originates from the brain and spreads throughout the body, creating the necessary changes to defend or escape. Specifically, fear of formation in the amygdala is in the temporal lobe, the brain region is responsible for detecting emotional changes created by stimulants.

The brain becomes highly alert, the pupils of the eyes widen, the bronchi relaxes, the breathing begins to fold. Heart rate and blood pressure increased. Blood and glucose circulation to the skeletal muscles also increases. These organs are not essential in the moment of survival as the intestinal tract decreases activity.

The hippocampus is the part of the brain that is closely connected to the amygdala. The hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex help the brain understand the threats. These units participate in the process of handling higher-order situations, helping people to identify a real or fake threat.

For example, when you encounter a wild lion, people can experience intense feelings of fear. However, the reaction to seeing that lion in the zoo was prone to curiosity or excitement.

Similar to animals, people often learn to feel fear through personal experiences, such as fear of dogs if ever bitten by dogs. However, people are afraid through an advanced and unique method, which is through language instruction. For example, people will become wary and afraid when they see a dog warning sign.

One reason many people like the feeling of fear is that it causes distraction. When a frightening situation occurs, people will be on high alert and no longer think about everyday problems such as workplace troubles or worry about upcoming exams.

In addition, emotions can also spread positively when experiencing this frightening situation with others. For example, when you see someone walking in a haunted house moving from yelling to laughing, you will also be infected with a happy feeling.

The key factor links individual factors such as situations, distractions or social contagion to the sense of control. When the brain realizes that the threat is real or fake, "labeling" the experience and enjoying the excitement, we find ourselves in control of the situation.

When we overcome the initial fear response, we often feel satisfied, reinforce the sense of security and be more confident about the ability to deal with something that causes panic.

Each person will have different feelings about scary or exciting things. If the person sees a very real threat, an extreme fear reaction may overwhelm the sense of control of the situation. On the other hand, if the experience is not enough to stimulate the emotional part of the brain, or if it is too unreal for the part of the brain to perceive, that experience can cause boredom.
