Fear affects your confidence so much that you start to believe now that you can't accomplish the task or goal at hand. It further creates 'negative expectations', you start to assume the worst could happen and a sense of disbelief in yourself sabotages your chance to be the best you can be and even allow a situation to play out which could be a Good experience instead of a bad one.
