For as long as I can remember, I\u2019ve had a strong fear of losing control. It wasn\u2019t always visible from the outside, but itdeeply affected how I behaved and how I felt inside. This fear didn\u2019t come out of nowhere it has roots in my past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It began with several painful experiences. As a child, I didn\u2019t feel emotionally supported or understood. Later, certain relationships left me feeling betrayed and rejected. One major turning point was a car accident. I wasn\u2019t driving, but I completely trusted the person behind the wheel. After the accident, I realized how quickly things could change, how powerless we are in certain situations. That\u2019s when I started trying to control everything : my environment, my actions, even my emotions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At school, this fear of losing control became stronger. I put a lot of pressure on myself to be perfect. I got frustrated veryquickly when things didn\u2019t go the way I expected, whether it was a bad grade, a group project not going well, or evenbeing late. I often felt anxious in situations where I didn\u2019t have full control, like oral presentations or group activitieswhere I had to rely on others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fear also showed up in smaller, daily moments. For example, I would always feel more comfortable when I was the one deciding the plan or managing how things would go. I also needed to feel prepared all the time, because beingunprepared felt like losing control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking back, I understand now that this fear was my brain\u2019s way of protecting me from emotional harm. But in reality, itisolated me and made me more anxious. It affected my confidence and made school life heavier than it should have been. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Writing this article helped me see that fear doesn\u2019t define me. It\u2019s something I\u2019ve experienced, but not something I wantto let control my life anymore. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
