Fearful

Fearful is one of the negative Afflictions that a hero can get when reaching 100 Stress damage in Darkest Dungeon.

Description
"Fear and frailty finally claim their due...Affliction_fearful.ogg"

Effects
When heroes are inflicted with Fearful, they will become extremely cowardly and unable to cope with the adversities of the dungeon. Under the Fearful affliction, a hero has a chance to perform the following actions:
 * Crying and dropping pessimistic quotes randomly, raising companions' Stress levels in the process (at the beginning of their turn and while walking from room to room).
 * Running towards the back of the Party formation where it is safer, effectively wasting their turn and ruining your formation (only during combat).
 * Pass his/her turn.
 * Prevent an ally from changing positions with him/her. 1
 * Increasing stress whenever: he/she is attacked, an ally is attacked or misses an attack.
 * Deal stress damage to an ally that just interacted with a curio.
 * Interact with any kind of worship type curio.

1 This action can occur inside and outside of combat.

Affliction Effects
There is not much to do here other than praying your Fearful Heroes develop some confidence every now and then and follow your commands. Perhaps move them to the back of your party formation before combat so they don't have to run away there themselves, skipping their turn in the process. This affliction could be considered a weak version of Irrational, which has many more negative effects, triggering stress damage way more often.
