Bravery is the ability to confront danger, even pain, in the face of pressure without the feeling of fear. Being brave is an absolute strength of character.
Do you consider yourself brave?

No. And I don't think a person can truly be brave without fear.

Well with my answers yes as its an unknown but like a bar chasing me naked i'd be crying like a fucking baby if it was a Koala so grizzly i would look fir a girl who knew the routine as my grizzly spay lets say was in my other jeans so we have our good and bad and I am quite brave and i like out of the comfort zone and in another mans bed or at the least his wife... in hind site that was stupid at least I learned... evry time it was stupid. But thats not a shoo go away if it happened again every time is different!

I disagree to some extent. Being brave isn't a mindset when facing adversity. It's a byproduct after the fact. I never considered myself brave when jumping out of helicopters, or crawling through a jungle environment on rescue missions. Fear is always present, particularly if you are young because you have the rest of your life ahead of you. But the job requires you to do things that could be dangerous, and you do your job, sometimes in the face of extreme danger. You are thankful that you survived once the danger has passed.
Being brave doesn't means absence of fear, it's just the way you FACE THAT FEAR.
So yes I've done things like confronting a lazy ass teacher when everyone was too scared to do it.
I've taken risks to follow what I love despite others threatening me or trying to give me offers if I will do as they please.-
Depends. I think purposely putting yourself in danger is kind of stupid.. like "hey guys look at me... I'm so brave (pets a lion). "Gets eaten*
Or. Hey guys look at me.. I'm so brave in going to steal this TV from this store. (Gets arrested)... I think you should only be brave when you really need to be... Like if a bully is picking on you.. and you don't say anything and jus take it... That's being a coward... It's time like those where you need to be brave and stand up for yourself -
I've never really thought about it there's been a few times where I've been really stupid because you only have one Split Second To Think and to make that decision and when you make that decision you have to commit and that commitment is usually taken place as you're doing it and there is no going back

when it comes to danger. Or dangerous situations. Like war, Or life and death
I would consider my self Very brave.
I can keep a cool head, and not pannic. In every situation you can think of. No matter how bad or tragic it is.
when you start to think with your emotions instead of your head,
Thats when you get killed, or Sombody else does,
im very good at keeping my feelings and emotions out of a high pressure situation and thinking clearly - 649 opinions shared on Other topic.
Bravery without proper fear is stupidity.
Bravery with the proper knowledge and respect of fear is noble.
Eg: I will manually remove wasp nests even though I am allergic to them. I know and understand the nature of the wasps. I will wisely and effectively neutralise the threat without putting myself in undue danger. But I will bravely put myself in danger as the situation requires action. -
I'm brave when I need to be. I was the only person to give a speech at my grandfather's wake. Everyone else sat in silence as I walked forward to say everything I needed to say which took about an hour to do. No script, zero rehearsal, all off the top of my head. When a knife was put to my stomach o was scared but I hauled off and punched the sob anyways. I wouldn't consider myself brave, just a guy whos tired of shit and nonsense and wants to be real with himself and others.

I guess I would say yes, but in fact it comes down to relying on your training, your crew, the equipment, all make it possible to do what we do on a daily basis. I have done quite a few things that did not seem like it was a good idea at the time, but managed to keep my cool and do what I needed to do.
So is that bravery, or just doing what I am able to do for whatever reason I and my brothers and sisters are able to use our gift to help others. -
With a pretty intense fear of heights.
I became a very high lever parkour frog, jumped of roofs, from one to another, did strange things high up.
Did multiple free climbings over verticle castle walls with a misty rain in the dark and other such climbs.
Jumped out of a crooked but working plane, only to crash land up a tree, in a forest.
Brave no, dumb... maybe yeah 🤔 - 2.1K opinions shared on Other topic.
To me being brave is being afraid and confronting the threat anyway.
Not being afraid might just be confidence in your own skills to deal with the threat... that's not courage to me.
I've done so many dangerous things but I had good training, equipment, skill so I did things many people wouldn't dare. - 1.3K opinions shared on Other topic.
I disagree with your update.
You said "without the feeling of fear".
It is rare for someone to not feel fear. Bravery is just taking action and doing what needs to be done in spite of the fear.
It isn't the absence of fear. -
I would say that facing all those things WITH the feeling of fear is still brave, perhaps even more brave. To answer the question, I don't really know, there have been situations where I have run away and situations in which I've faced the struggles. So I would say, it depends.

Yes, If I'm about to be confronted by someone who is showing anger towards me I will take charge and If I have to I will contact law enforcement

Sometimes. But that's mostly something other people have to judge.

You don’t realize what you are made of until in hot water. I have found I go intensely calm when others fall apart around me. Being in that frame of mind can allow you the choice to be brave or not.
-
I disagree with the definition. I think bravery is action in spite of fear. I don't see bravery and fearlessness as the same.
For me, it depends on the area of life, the situation. Sometimes. -
Yes I left a 19yr abusive relationship and started all over. I started seeing him when I was 15 and he was all I knew. If that isn't courage I don't know what is..
-
Yes because I am when I am confronted with a situation I don't think about it I just do what I have to do. If you let yourself think about something too much thats what brings the fear.
