That means a lot to me. Most of the time I really struggle to separate the rational from the irrational fears, and analyzing like this, to pinpointing the source of my fear, is one of the few things that will let me get a grip on it.

I also think that one of your great strengths in this is your hard-won self-awareness: most people really don't respond to fear with thoughtfulness.
