Everybody has a built in coping mechanism..that we learn in childhood as a response to various situations in life. Later in life we may have an experience or come to a realization that puts our learned system on overload.

What one has to realize is that what can be considered a normal response to a situation is to feel anexity. For example if you are a soldier going into battle it would be normal to be fearful as you might be killed. If you are exposed for long enough I believe you will develope an aversion to putting yourself in that situation. Your coping mechanism.will be worn down. You are in a sense telling yourself that the situation you are in is intolerable and you have to get out..you have had enough.
