Fear is one of the basic human emotion. Fear of the unknown, fear of having a problem you can't handle or the fear of losing someone so dear to you. Even the fear of talking to people.
I had the fear of talking to people because I felt they wouldn't like me and sometime in my life I felt different from everyone else so I would always be afraid of speaking up, or even talking to anyone ,giving an opinion.
There was a point in my life I wass scared of leaving the house because I thought people will judge me. Turns out people will always judge you no matter what you do.
It was so bad that I was always scared about the littlest things, I would always ask myself what if I'm not doing it right, what if people don't brush their hair like this. Do people fold their shirts like this. I was scared I wasn't doing anything right and I would be laughed at
It was a rainy day around 8:00pm when I and my siblings all came back from my sisters place. Wes a wonderful day until we heard a very bad news.
While we dropped from the car and entered our house, saw my dad getting ready to leave for an event, just like every normal day he said I'm going out and will be back by 11:pm and we all said bye dad, not knowing it was our last.
Later that night,my big sis got a call from a stranger that my dad was involved in an accident and it was very serious. I had never felt so scared in my life just the thought of losing him made me to weep, I was in shock. If there's a word greater than fear, that was what I felt.
My sisters and brothers went to the hospital to see him in the emergency ward but I wasn't allowed to go with them because I was too small at that time.
When they came back from the hospital without any smile on their faces and tears rolling down their eyes, just their expression said it all, I did not want to believe what they would say, fear gripped me and all I could remember was how I just saw him leave the house and said he would be coming back soon and just now he's gone. I couldn't cry out loud but I was truly scared that I would never get to meet him again. Fear of not seeing your loved ones ever again ,I would say that's the worst type of fear.
Sometimes fear helps us to make the right choices in life, and helps us not to get into troubles sometimes.
