Exactly.

What do you guys expect? Do you want Twilight to have no fears and insecurities and to be just a character lacking depth? Everyone has fears. Think about somebody else, having a fear so powerful, that no matter what you try to do, you can't get rid of it. Having such an intense that people write out and ridicule that person for. Twilight had her friends laugh at her for being scared to the point of mental instability in Lesson Zero. Think about how you guys would feel if no-one helped when you're falling apart because your fear is "stupid."

Without that fear, Twilight would be a generic character without motivation and doubts. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic just wouldn't be as good as a show if any of the characters suddenly dropped some of their characteristics, or never had them in the first place. The characters wouldn't be likeable, because we couldn't relate to them. We'd just be watching flat characters with nothing to give them flavour. Fears and insecurities are what helps make up a character, and they are present in everyone. Think of yourself as a character in the show, for just a moment. What would your episodes be like? How would your fears shape the story?
