Fear can be irrational from "summary" of The Fear by Natasha Preston
Sometimes fear doesn't make sense. It can creep up on you when you least expect it, twisting your thoughts and clouding your judgment. You find yourself paralyzed, unable to move forward because of a fear that seems to have no basis in reality. It's like a shadow that follows you everywhere, lurking in the corners of your mind and whispering doubts into your ear.
You try to rationalize your fear, to find a logical explanation for why you feel this way. But no matter how hard you try, you can't shake the feeling that something is lurking just out of sight, waiting to pounce when you least expect it. It's a primal, instinctual fear that defies reason and logic, leaving you feeling vulnerable and exposed.
In those moments, it's easy to feel like you're going crazy. You question your own sanity, wondering why you can't just shake off this irrational fear and move on with your life. But the truth is, fear doesn't always play by the rules. It doesn't care about logic or reason; it exists solely to keep you safe, even if that means leading you down a path of irrationality.
It's important to remember that it's okay to be afraid, even when the source of your fear seems irrational. Fear is a natural response to the unknown, a survival instinct that has been hardwired into our brains since the dawn of time. It's what keeps us alive in dangerous situations, even when those dangers are only perceived and not real.
So the next time you find yourself paralyzed by fear, remember that it's okay to feel scared. It's okay to acknowledge that sometimes fear doesn't make sense, and that's perfectly normal. The key is to not let fear control you, to face it head-on and push through it, even when it seems irrational. Because in the end, the only way to conquer fear is to confront it, no matter how irrational it may seem.
