Although fear is classified as an emotion by psychologists, it is a very basic human emotion and can almost be considered a simple feeling. If emotions are composed of feelings and physical reactions, then fear would be the basic feeling component of anxiety or phobias, as explained in the Psychology of Emotions. I prefer to call fear a feeling rather than an emotion, and to explain this, it is important to distinguish between feelings and emotions in psychology. So far, this distinction has been blurred, and psychologists do not distinguish comprehensively between feeling and emotion.

Emotions are complex mental and physical processes, as emotions involve feelings, which are mental or psychological components, and physical reactions, which are physical reactions. Thus, feeling is an essential component of emotion. Simple feeling is purely psychological and does not involve physical reactions, and so fear, which may or may not involve physical reactions, can be both a feeling and an emotion. For example, a student's fear of the examination center would be accompanied by physical reactions such as racing heart, flushing of the face, dilated pupils, and so on. Although anxiety, which could be an emotion component, can be very simple and generalized and could even be unconscious without a physical reaction, although it is not as intense as fear, which necessarily involves physical reactions. For example, when you are on stage performing a play, you may not directly feel a physical reaction and be calm and normal, but you may still feel a sense of anxiety in the form of discomfort.

Fear, then, could be both a feeling and an emotion, but fear as a purely subjective or mental component of feeling would be difficult to recognize because it is not accompanied by visible or palpable physical reactions, as is the case with fear as an emotion. Anxiety, on the other hand, is considered a distinct internalized emotion because it arises internally from a perceived threat, as opposed to fear, which is due to external stimuli. Fear can be defined as an externalized emotion or an internalized feeling that may or may not be accompanied by physical reactions, and anxiety may be conscious or unconscious.

A psychology of anxiety would distinguish between anxiety as an emotion and anxiety as a feeling, between conscious and unconscious anxiety, and between anxiety with physical reactions and anxiety without physical reactions, and between anxiety in fear and anxiety in phobias. It would be important to understand why fear occurs and what the physical reactions are when fear is a strong conscious emotion, and how it differs from fear as a feeling, which does not produce physical reactions and could be conscious but would be more unconscious.

Suppose you have an unconscious fear of old, haunted, dilapidated houses and repeatedly dream of events in such houses, then the dream itself might cause physical reactions, but it is not obvious that the fear is causing the physical reaction. So in this case, the fear itself is simply unconscious and a feeling that manifests in dreams, and the dreams are associated with physical reactions rather than fear. Here, then, fear is a feeling rather than an emotion. However, some psychologists would argue that this "fear" could simply be an undefined apprehension, but since the psychologists would also identify the cause of the fear (or apprehension as they would say), which is the fear of haunted houses, it is still an externalized fear and not an internalized apprehension. So the fear is externalized whether it is a feeling or an emotion.

Distinguishing between feelings and emotions is like trying to distinguish between meteoroids and asteroids in space, and the distinction would require a very detailed analysis of the layers of the mind. At this point, we do not have a sufficient framework or scientific evidence to help us make this distinction. Modern consciousness research has focused on this problem of feelings. As Thomas Nagel pointed out in his very famous essay "What is it like to be bat?", this subjective feeling of what it is like to be is very important. In consciousness studies, the subjective aspects of emotions are very important, and although hardcore physicalists who believe that our minds are nothing but neural firings would ignore that an emotion has a feeling aspect, consciousness studies have proven that feeling, or the subjective aspect of being, is the core of being human.
