When it paralyzes leads to comfortable misery.

Been there, done that. I have been set free by Jesus. No more fear.

The most common command, #1 actually, in the Bible is "Fear not".

Depends on what phrasing you are looking at but it seems to me that the Bible is pretty symmetrical in regards to telling us to "have no fear" and at the same time to "fear the Lord."

I John 4 18

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

I believe to "fear" the Lord is more like respect and awe. Kind of like you have with your earthly father.

From some of my reading today

Deuteronomy 6:1-3
The Greatest Commandment
"Now this is the commandmentthe statutes and the rules - that the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land to which you are going over, to possess it, that you may fear the Lord your God, you and your son and your son's son, by keeping all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, all the days of your life, and that your days may be long. Hear therefore, O Israel, and be careful to do them, that it may go well with you, and that you may multiply greatly, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

Love that. Again stressed the fatherhood aspect of God's character.

Great discussion.
Zach Williams has an awesome song "Fear is a Liar", that sums it for nicely.
