Allowing fear to make my decisions sets in motion trains of circumstance which brought me misfortune I felt like I didn't deserve. And then when I'm weak, in a situation that needs me to be strong, I fail and I take shame on myself and I blame myself, and I get more and more blocked off from people and I can't even tell the people that I trust that I'm afraid, because I don't know it. I won't say I'm afraid of you, I'll just reject you and I will call you the problem and I will run away from life, and then I will get worse and worse, and I won't understand why fear is driving me.
