In life, we only see what we think others see of us. It gives us fear to think of how they will respond to our actions. The fear of the unknown is a way people live everyday because, not knowing what other think is hard. Ever feel like you are too scared to say what you feel because of the reaction people may give you?
I’ve had this feeling of guilt and emotions get the best of me in school, work, friendships, relationships, etc. I’ve thought to myself what could happen if I give in and show how I feel. It could be one of the worst feelings in the world not knowing what could have been or happened. Speaking my mind could uphold new opportunities. I believe that what happens in life is supposed to happen in life with fear or not. Fear can be a good thing, when you least expect the unexpected. Instead of learning what you know in life, go for a plan of different activities to give that fear reality.
I’ve been in situations that I wish I could have just blurted out what I wanted to say instead of keeping everything bottled up. I can’t always just say how I feel because my fears completely flood my life. I think facing my fears and telling the world how I really feel would give me the reality of life. I’m the type of person who does not want to see that happen. I don’t want to know what others will think of me even though in the back of my head I’m thinking what do they really think of me.
Fears always seem to control everyone’s life in one way or another. Sometimes it’s okay to keep that fear bottled up, but not the secrets it holds. I’ve learned that I need to scream out to the world what I am holding in. You shouldn’t just live your life in fear of what others think of you.
Fearing others’ opinions can be difficult, but if you raise your head with confidence— people will see that. Having confidence to believe in yourself will help rid of that fear to give you strength to not care of what others will think of you.
