I'm very scared about the world ending. How can I stop being scared?
Suppose you're right. Suppose the world is going to end in three months. Can you stop it? Is this world ending event something you can control?Probably not.Given that, so what? So what if it is? How does it actually change your life? Does it change your life?Let me tell you something. The world and your world are entirely different things. The world has been here for a long, long time. The world will be here for long after you die.Your world can end at any moment. All it takes is a drunk driver, or a faulty heart, or any number of actual things that happen to people all the time, to happen to you.The world will continue on just fine without you. Shit… even if all of humanity were eradicated tomorrow, the world will continue onward.Millions of years ago there were no humans. Today there are no dinosaurs. The best evolutionary scientists in the field make a compelling case for the chicken being the closest thing to a dinosaur alive today.The world moved on.Perhaps you don't subscribe to evolutionary science. Perhaps you believe in intelligent design and creationism. I personally don't, but I was raised that way and I recognize that many people do. You might.So given that ask yourself does your soul live on? Isn't this just an earthly vessel that is temporary? Won't the end of your world, or even the world usher in the beginning of an eternal life in heaven?No matter which path you believe your fears are not real. They are real to you, but that is only because you give them power with your believe in them.You can choose to believe something else. It isn't easy. It requires a diligent mind and a determination to see things differently. But…And this is so important.But if you can learn to control your mind, and you can learn to master your thoughts, you can and will have absolute control over your fears.I would suggest reading the science of getting rich. It outlines clear and concise steps towards excersizing your mind.
I'm kind of scared to face the real world?
I am 15 years old, and you know a few more years I am going to have to get a job and be on my own. I just feel as though I didn't have enough love and strength to be able to do this...I always tell myself your strong, it's enough that you are with yourself you can give yourself stability and strength, but it's just really not enough I need someone with me. My Dad was never their I mean I love him a lot of course, but I can never trust or depend on him for anything materialistic or emotional. My sister's husband once hit her, she went to tell him and he did not care at all he actually went and slept and didn't do anything. And my Mom, she was always frustrated and sick, and she always said that she was going to die, and I used to always feel like she was, so I try to stay away from her so much so that when she leaves, I wont feel that alone. So I never felt or allowed myself to feel secure. And my brother and sister are way older than me, my brother didn't live with us, and my sister got married when I was very young. And for friends, I've home-schooled half of my life, and the other half at school, I was kind of bullied and it wasn't a good time... I am not depressed I don't allow myself to be I always stick with a positive/accepting attitude, and I take advantage of the bad times to make me stronger, but I really need some external strength from people. I know I can go through being on my own I can deal with it and I will hang on, but I know it will be hard...
Why am i so scared of the world?
I see...You just need to overcome your fears. I understand your problem because I always do that. Okay the first thing is ask yourself,"I'm i willing to do this?" Make a decision, then if you back out, tell yourself do i really want to do this? then if your heart says yes then just go do it. Embarrassment? Everyone makes a mistake and end up laughing about it someday. This is your opportunity to enjoy life, so are you going to seat there and be afraid of anything in your life, you have control of your life and you're decisions are up to you. Good luck though figuring it out :)
IM SCARED OF THE WORLD ENDING?
The mind is a very powerful thing, where your attention goes the energy flows. I'm sorry you are feeling that way, its no fun living like that. First off, the world is not going to end, the earth will be here long after we are gone. You must stay away from the news, all news, even if its alternative news. Do not allow that stuff into your mind. They are there to keep you scared, they feed off of your fear, do not give your power to them. Fear is the main tool in their tool box to control us, always has been. There has always been things happening all over the world, we just haven't had access to it the way we do now. We are all only here for such a short period of time, try not to waste your time worrying over the things you have absolutely no control over. Easier said than done, I know, but you must try. The more you resist watching and reading things like that and thinking more positively, the better you will feel. You must replace the worry with calming activities to reprogram your mind and change you thought patterns. It will take time and discipline, but you can do it. If you drink coffee, get rid of it, or reduce your intake dramatically, it will only fuel your anxiety. Take up practices like yoga, tai chi, qi gong, deep breathing and meditation. Get massages regularly and surround yourself with positive people. Replace fear based entertainment with positive and inspirational material. Use calming music, sounds of nature, or binaural beats. See a therapist if you feel the need to, they can be of great benefit. Be careful of medications, they should always be last resort and typically cause more problems than good. Give your body proper fuel from whole food sources to keep you balanced. Get out in nature as much as possible. Remember, to take a moment to look around you, bring your attention to the now to remind yourself that everything is fine. The only thing that matters is what is happening right here, right now. Life is a beautiful thing, it is truly a gift, there is so much to live for, you just cant see through the muck right now.
I'm scared that the world's going to end soon. :(?
Don't be.
Why is the world a scary place?
The world’s a scary place because Anything can happen. Your neighbour? He can be a murder or thief. That slight pain you have on your chest could be heart problems. That weird noise you hear at night, could be a murderer or thief. Heck you might have cancer and not even know it. You could have 3 days to live and not know it. You could be in a car crash in 5 days and not know it. We believe and plan our lives around the fact that we’ll live until 70 or 80 but we can die as 20, 12, even 8 or younger. And this isn’t just paranoia, just turn on the news, horrible stuff happens every day, from parents murdering their children to kids bullying each other. We don’t know what’s gonna happen to us either, cancer, or and illness might just pick us up too! And even home your not safe, break-ins and murders in home have happened, even while people are sleeping, and you can die in your sleep. Ok, I’ll be honest here…I might have crossed the line and become a little paranoid, sorry.
Is it normal to feel scared or anxious about the world?
Yes. Any time you begin to have existential questions you eventually run into your own belief system and everything you've learned up to that point. You may start to question your own sanity and understanding but it's part of the process of seeing the world for yourself. We can never see past the decisions we don't understand but with a little imagination and trust in yourself you will begin to look further into your self and lose your fear of your self, of the world around you, and of the future/past. Don't be afraid of thinking of the unthinkable but try to remember to stay grounded in the present moment. When I find myself worrying about the future or the past I take a moment to look around me and my surroundings (whether it's at work or on a hilltop) and remember that this place we call home is beautiful with all it's imperfections and neither the future nor the past can take that moment away from me.
IM SCARED ABOUT THE WORLD ENDING?!?!?! PLEASE HELP?
Had to look that one up. "The idea was first put forward in 1995 by Nancy Lieder, founder of the website ZetaTalk. Lieder describes herself as a contactee with the ability to receive messages from extraterrestrials from the Zeta Reticuli star system through an implant in her brain. She states that she was chosen to warn mankind that the object would sweep through the inner Solar System in May 2003" So, yeah, 2003. It has long already past. Another crazy persons claim turned out to be wrong, how about that.
I’m scared of the world. I think people are cruel, and going out anywhere only terrifies me. I’m stuck in life and I don’t know how to live a normal life. How do I get over this?
I am willing to bet that you feel the world looks at you a certain way, classifies you as a type of person that can be manipulated and hurt, and it does this to you as often as it can.And the reason I’m willing to bet on that is because I feel the same way.I think it has to do with group mentality, and culture. There is a general trend that kindness is perceived as synonymous with weakness. This suggests that cruelty is synonymous with strength.Since I believe that justification of selfishness is the definition of evil, and there have been experiments that indicate people allow themselves to do terrible things as long as the group is okay with it, I believe you have only one option, just as I do.And that is to stop caring about what people think. Period.But it’s harder to do than you think. Although I know it’s what I should do, I haven’t been able to stop it yet, either.But I keep trying.And for the record, I hate the word “normal” as well. It cannot be defined, especially when it comes to human behavior, and that’s the reason I gave up on studying psychology when I was in college. If we cannot define normal, we cannot define ABNORMAL, either. It all boils down to what works for you, and what doesn’t.
