D3, K2, Mg, B1, B12 for a sense of physical well being and sufficient strength to confront fear​

Beta blockers oxprenelol/propanolol - for putting a limit on andrenaline overload and keeping heart rate relaxed, especially in high stakes social situations​

Cyproheptadine - Effectively limits the harm of stress and provides greater metabolic resilience

High calories, frequent meals, carrot salad/charcoal or other endotoxin lowering methods.

If you are high in trait openness and creative, creativity itself will provide a powerful buffer against fear provided you give yourself authentically to your work/play enough. But even those who don't consider themselves creative have some kind of focused activity they may be putting off. Authentically expressing something or doing something you feel dutiful to do in in spite of the fear gives a great sense of satisfaction and quells the part of you that feels downtrodden by circumstance, activating a sense of agency. What the japanese called Ikigai (生き甲斐, "a reason for being") is a Japanese concept referring to having a direction or purpose in life, providing a sense of fulfillment and towards which they the person may take actions, giving them satisfaction and a sense of meaning.[1]

Procrastinating is physically stressful on the body, so one way to behaviorally normalize making bold actions is to break the beginning of the task into something small and easily manageable and write it down. Effectively practicing doing the thing you know to be both difficult and worthwhile in tiny bursts allows you to build the muscle of facing fear as a practice. I.e draw or write or work out 1 minute a day, but allow yourself a higher limit of how much you can do in a day. Once you've done the minute you'll usually feel like continuing because the fear itself is what feels bad and usually if you're doing an activity you're supposed to be doing you will want to continue after starting.

A few things that diminish fear: Making art, being vulnerable with people you trust, journaling your thoughts, winning against others in competition, expressing yourself authentically, Qi Gong, Trauma Release Exericise (TRE), physical touch and intimacy, meditation, heart rate variability training. Threats don't feel threatening when your autonomic nervous system is in balance. You can use a simple mental tool to think of something you appreciate in order to shield yourself from the effects of fear. Cultivating a general state of gratitude/appreciation appropriate to your life is a powerful shield against fear. Or at least sitting down for 2 minutes and practicing it with intention. Ultimately you can't get rid of fear altogether completely as it is a behavioural indicator and not just a symptom, but you can protect yourself from an inappropriately stressful experience of it in many different ways

One last quote from terence mckenna...

“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.”

I don’t know about cypro. I find, when the sedation wears off (with continued use), that it actually seems to make me more nervous. There was a post on here from another forum member who said the same thing, and he eliminated that side effect by adding clonidine. And adding clonidine solved the issue for me as well (although I gave up the combination because the dry mouth was horrible). So it might actually increase adrenalin (or something resembling it) in some users (with consistent use).

The higher the testosterone, the less fear, inhibition and more willingness to take risks.

That's why these traits are so attractive for women, even though they sometimes make men do stupid things.

It is a sign of high T.

Completely agree. That’s like a decades worth of knowledge condensed onto half a piece of A4 paper. Posts like that make me realise how important this forum is.
