If it were me, the first thing I'd do, before deciding not to care about the fear, is try to understand better what's inspiring it. As often as not, fear is an indication of something dangerous or unhealthy that's worth avoiding.
The first time I astral projected I felt afraid, but the fear wasn't very intense, and mostly it was fear of the unexpectedness and unfamiliarity of the experience and not being sure I could get back in my body. I was also afraid of the spooky stuff I could see and hear, but I feel that stuff is there all the time anyway whether I'm paying attention to it and making images out of it or not, so I don't see the point of being afraid of it. Maybe your fear is about something else though, since the experience of it sounds different.
Some people think that repeated astral projection is unhealthy, that it cultivates a dissociation between the astral and physical bodies, which eventually leads to physical and mental health problems. That view seems plausible to me, though it also seems to me that the astral body isn't real in quite the same sense that is sometimes assumed. My rule of thumb would be to do what seems to feel healthy, and not do what seems forced or icky.
