Look out for a spiky bubble symbol above your Sim's picture in the bottom corner of the UI (this is where the Sims portraits are). When this bubble comes with their fear displayed, they'll be given an opportunity to remedy this by hashing it out with other Sims. Click on any other Sim that is near and select Discuss Fears. This will give your Sim temporary but noticeable relief from their anxious feelings.
