The title may be strange, but it makes perfect sense to me. During my years at gymnasium, I was able to distinguish between a concrete fear and the fear of being afraid of that concrete fear. I found a word that I put in the title of my website that represents this fear well: Aprehensive.
You feel it after going through an experience like repeating a year, which is already a fear for many students, me included. After repeating the following year, I discovered a strange fear: the fear of the fear I felt when repeating, even if the year was going well.
It’s a feeling caused by great anxiety about getting points or, for example, the idea of putting pressure on myself when everything is going well, which can be overwhelming and tiring throughout the school year.
I talk about these fears because I don’t think I’m the one who is or ever will be in that situation.
« The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. »
Franklin D. Roosevelt, inauguration speech, 1933
I’ll let you discover the rest on this website!
