Fear is interesting, because it tends to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Example: I long for being accepted as I am. But out of fear of not being accepted as I am, I hide that which I don’t think will be accepted; sadness, anger, shame, hopelessness and loneliness. In this way I make sure that my fear will come true. Because how can anyone accept me as I am if I don’t show myself? Fear tends to work this way. It creates that which we fear.
