Wait, how exactly perception of &quot;personal space&quot; is a response; secondly, please drop the pretense that &quot;fear is bad, mkay&quot;. It is perfectly fine to feel fear when a red hot poker enters your personal space (i.e. it can harm you). There&#x27;s nothing to be fixed here, system self-preservation subroutines work just fine, thank you.<p>Oh, and, <i>edit</i>, just because amygdala is partial to fear responses, it doesn&#x27;t make all the actions that it takes part in &quot;fear&quot;. It controls a lot of other functions, such as pleasure, sexual behavior, aggression, memory consolidation; not to mention that a lot of information passes through it both into the brain and out of it.   Please, age of phrenology is over. It&#x27;s not coming back. Human brain and human behavior is not &quot;black and white&quot; anymore, it&#x27;s never going to be. It&#x27;s a complex system of neuron junctions and pathways some of which are more specialized than others, sure, but, to reiterate, the incredible malleability and the sheer number of connections in human brain make neuroscientists even doubt the necessity of well established &quot;centers&quot; such as Broca&#x27;s area. God. Damn. It.
