Fear is good when it stimulates you to perform at your best, such as fear of failing a test will drive you to study harder, or fear of getting into an accident will force you to drive safely, or say overcoming fear of heights.
It's when fear becomes chronic or causes stress and anxiety that it is not good for you.
Fear is an emotion, nothing more. Fear is an illusion, and once you overcome the fear, the issue you were worried about will drop away.

AiR - Atman in Ravi
Fear can only be good for us if we use it for the purpose that God created it. Why are human beings gifted the emotion of fear? It is to protect us from real danger. But unfortunately, instead of letting fear protect us from real danger which is positive and good, we have let fear become FEAR - False Expectation Appearing Real. We let the wolf appear to be bigger than it is, we create problems when there are none. We imagine dangers when in reality there is no danger. All this makes fear bad for us. Fear is the father of negative emotions, it creates poison. It makes us live with stress, worry and anxiety. This fear is disastrous. As Mahatma Gandhi said – More people die of the fear of the disease than of the disease itself.
