Being scared and why its bad

We all have fears and are scared of things, even the bravest of people have them. I have countless amounts of things I'm scared of at the moment such as spiders, germs, large heights, changing my hairstyle and people finding out about my blog.

Maybe there are some things in the world you need to be scared of and you shouldn't try get over them. There are other things that we all know it would be better if we did get over them. The word scared seems to be some sort of protective shield. If you say you're scared of heights, I'm not going to tell you to climb the highest mountain and jump off right? Being scared forces you to hide away from a problem and that's not a good thing.

I'm scared that people will find out about this blog. That's not because I'm ashamed of it, it's because I'm worried about what other people will think if they found out. At this moment, being scared for me is using my protective shield as a barrier to stop them coming near my blog. I can't even decide whether that's a good or bad thing because if I use the shield I'm protecting myself from how the world could hurt me. If I stopped being scared people would see my blog and I would be expressing who I am completely and I shouldn't be ashamed of who I am.

When you're scared, it's not the actual thing you're worried about. I wouldn't be physically scared  about climbing up a mountain, I would only be scared of the consequences which would be hurting myself if I fell. Being scared is a safety net and it stops you from falling and hurting yourself, but to overcome these fears maybe you need to fall and if you get hurt as we can make you better again.

I shouldn't care about if people find out who I am because if I get hurt I can get bandaged up and carry on with life. Don't  shy away from something because you're scared of getting hurt of judged ,otherwise your not expressing who you really are and you need to be you. If I don't climb up the mountain I won't be able experience the beauty of it.

At the begining of this post I wasn't sure if being scared was a good thing. Now I know it's not, as you're only protecting yourself from the good that may come out from dealing with it.

I hoped this may of helped some of you, feel free to leave comments :)
