Fear
Fear is an unpleasant feeling of perceived risk, real or not, or danger. It's one of the basic emotions (see emotion theory).
Fear may underlie some phenomena of behavior modification, although these phenomena can be explained without adducing fear as a factor in them. Furthermore, application of aversive stimuli is also often ineffective in producing change in the behaviour intended to be changed.
Quote: "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" (Franklin D. Roosevelt)

The opposite is confidence. Self-confidence is confidence in oneself, i.e. in one's abilities and worth, including the abilitiy to cope with one's limitations and problems.
Unjustified confidence can cause problems.
