Getting angry instead of being afraid doesn't make it the opposite.
I could get happy instead... wouldn't affect much.

I'd be inclined to think that indifference does make sense.... although, at the same time... well, saying "I'm afraid" and "I don't care" really doesn't seem like it's the opposite, but pretty damn close.

Pretty much the only thing opposite to fear, is to not fear.

Either something scares you, or it doesn't... doesn't mean you're indifferent to it, or angry, or courageous... it just... doesn't scare you.

There is no opposite... it, in itself is the opposite. To fear, and to not fear. That's pretty much all there is.

I don't fear Evil Chris (although I should), but that doesn't mean that I love him, or anything else... indifferent, happy, angry... nothing... I just... don't fear him.
