Fear - most definitely.
I fear being taken advantage of, being physically harmed, being sexually harassed, being stalked, being wrongly accused for someone else's acts, being publicly humiliated, etc.
I don't fear success, as I've been successful; I fear the vulnerability of exiting one SES stage into another because of jealous others who would rather see me fall than rise. I fear those who could harm me, period.
It's the fear that keeps me held back, among other things that are not emotional in nature.
