I'm living in fear.

When I was a kid I was brave, but now I'm grown and I'm just scared. I don't know why I'm scared. I'm scared to ask for anything, do things, say things, and go anywhere. I always let my fear control me because it's so hard to be brave. I have been scared for a long time and I don't know what to do. Sometimes I'm scared to be around my family and they're cool. I cry because I'm so so scared.

    You're cool. Many important people were shy at one point in their lives, some were shy until death. Infact, nervousness is simply a result of one's quick analysis of the possible negative consequences of an action. Hesistant people are more likely to survive than those who rush in.

  • It's all a part of being grown-up. I guess you've just seen all the dangerous or even slightly embarassing things that you didn't when you were little.

  • It is hard to be brave but if you were that way as a child then that is your character; there is no escaping it. You are brave.

    Shed this false skin and show the world what you are.

    do not use the word fear...call it cautious,u may be taking too much care that things do not go wrong...avoid it trust in higher power,who is channelizing it all.
    n
    face what fears you and death of fear is certain.
    in every situation dig deep to look for the positive in it,read some motivational books ...the first thing in the morning and night,do not watch news or tragic events,do not feel bad for others conditions.
    Learn to get in touch with the silence within you and understand that every thing in life have a purpose.
    do this for 21 days as a therapy,n u will b fine.

    Get out and live! Go camping and bear spray a bear or your friends. Piss off a waterfall. Citizens arrest a J walker. Spray paint poetry in public places. Start a barroom brawl and leave before it starts. Those are all on my bucket list. You cant fear fear cause fears a mind killer.

    I think it's sort of normal. I used to be really different when I was younger. I remember feeling a lot more brave, and not as emotional either. Now that I'm older I've noticed how cautious I've become with almost every and anything, whether it's with what I say, how I act, what I do, etc. It's weird, but I think it happen's to some people. But I've never been scared to be in the company of my own family. If this get's too extreme, you should probably speak to someone. But you are still not alone.
