Feelings... Emotions... What do I think about it?
There are so many mixed feelings and so much is going on but today I am going to talk about one of the feelings.
Fear
.
What is this feeling and how can I control it (this is my point of view).
I am sure everyone is afraid of something.
The thing about being afraid of something is that we are not able to think. We act out of fear but we don't think and the worst feeling of fear is when we don't expect something bad to happen in the next second.
For example : when I was 16 years old I was attacked by 5 dogs on my way to school. 2 big dogs, 1 medium and 2 small. First time I was attacked by the big dogs. They tried to reach my neck and to bite it. I did not expect that. I couldn't run, scream or move. I was pushing the dogs to keep them away from my neck. The other 2 small ones tried to bite my legs. I couldn't provoke them so again I didn't move. The other one was going in a circle, barking. I kept my calm. I had to. Any wrong move could've kill me. And after, like 5 minutes, it happened that a couple with a car opened the back door from the car and slowed down so I jumped in. I was very lucky because I managed to get away.
I never expected to be attracted by dogs. I love dogs and I wasn't afraid to be around them. Not till that day. I knew about not running away or shouting or turning with the back to the dogs because they take it as provoking them and they attack you. This is why I kept staying in front of them.
My instinct was to turn around and to run but because I was thinking and knew that might be a bad idea, I tried to keep my calm.
It is not easy to be calm when you are scared but if you do, you have bigger chances to get out. I was so scared in that moment. I so much wanted to run but we all know that we are not fast enough.
.
Their barking was provoking each other. I don't think I would've stay longer but that couple saved me.
I am not saying that you are out of danger but you get more time if you keep your calm.
If you feel in danger don't do anything, just stop, take a deep breath and think about what can be helpful around you or think about what you know, what you can do in that kind of situation.
Once I was raped by a guy when I was 10-11 years old and he tried to sexualy abuse me and it happened that I dropped one of my shoe. I couldn't scream because he covered my mouth so I tried to think quick. I remember that I started to cry and I tried to stop - never cry or show fear otherwise the situation is controlling you - so I stopped crying and I promised that I won't scream. And I kept asking for my shoe. He ignored me and tried to undress me. So I said : I promise if you bring my shoe I won't move and I will stop talking, the shoe was only 10 seconds away from me, but enough to make the attacker to go and bring my shoe, so when he got the shoe, I run. And again my calm saved me from that situation.
I hope my experiences will inspire others.
.
Don't forget : don't let the fear to control you because you may take bad decisions, you be in control of your feelings.
Thank you very much and take care to not get in bad situations, but if you do don't forget to think before doing something.
I hope you enjoyed reading!

aw man, after reading your other post (the one with the untalented challenge), and then this one, it is truly remarkable you are where you are now.
Those two situations will surely bring fear even to the toughest of dudes (what more to a girl as young as that age). But its nice that you are able to be calm and think of a solution to thwart the situation. Being paralyzed by fear and doing nothing might lead to numerous regrets. It is always better to overcome fear, take the chance, and live with no regrets
That is what I meant
Thank you for sharing this great post. I also want to share my point of view about fear. Fear is a painful emotion or passion excited by the expectation of evil, or the apprehension of danger anxiety alarm or dread. Fear is man's response to the unknown, as one tends to feel apprehensive of what they cannot understand. People feel the need to explore their surroundings in order to satisfy their questions. If they cannot achieve that then insecurity comes up as they feel reminded that they do not have complete control over fate. The lack of power makes people to feel uncertain of what their future has in store. Fear can be many things like a fear of a creature or object also a childhood fear, fear comes in many ways. Fear is a negative force that becomes overpowering in the sense that it restricts one's choices in life. Some people are afraid of death and many other people are afraid of something because of what happened to them in their childhood. An example of a childhood fear would be a person killing a spider or animal and then chasing you around with it trying to scare you. After believing that it will hurt you, as you grow up you will still remember what happened involving the spider and you will fear it because it is what you've felt all through your life. Death is a very common subject of fear. Many people fear death because life is joyous and makes you happy and sad at times, but overall it is a great feeling to live and see the world. Many times people are just scared of loosing all their items, family members or friends. When a fear overtakes an individual's body, it makes it impossible for that person to develop their personality. There is always a sense of paranoia that interacts in their mind leading to mental distractions. Fear persuades an individual into acting a certain way and speaking in a particular manner.
You see ? Every one has their own opinions about fear and this is because of what everyone experienced in life of how they think about it.
