Answer:

fear impacts our thinking and decision-making in negative ways, leaving us susceptible to intense emotions and impulsive reactions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fear can be healthy. It is programmed into your nervous system, and gives you the survival instincts you need to keep yourself safe from danger. Fear is unhealthy when it makes you more cautious than you really need to be to stay safe, and when it prevents you from doing things you would otherwise enjoy.
