Why are people so scared of things that are different

because they cant face their fears

people dun get scared, the paranoia at start is just a reflex reaction, just like how you would duck if I threw a baseball at you unexpectedly, even though you have enough strength and confidence to catch it.

a scare is only if its been repetitive over a long period of time and then it becomes a phobia.

so make sure you trying everything once at least before deciding, is what I feel about the situation.. cheers !!

People - and other animals - tend to fear the unknown. Way, way back in history, this could have made sense for human beings, because it was a big bad and potentially dangerous world out there.

Today people who react with fear in the face of the unknown, of things they can’t understand or seem strange to them - they are basically insecure. Once a person feels secure and self-assured, there won’t be so much fear.

That’s also why trying to explain things to someone who is afraid can help - the more we know and understand, the less we will be afraid.

bcus they are insecure.I guess:/

because of where people grow up and their experiences, for instance, if, when you were little, you were bitten by a group of spiders, you might be afraid of them whent hey grow up, in tropical countries, because people come into contact with those insects day in and day out, they tend not to fear them as much.

Also, it could be from mimiking other people’s reaction, for example, if you were a child and there was a spider in your bedroom, and your parents freaked out, that would switch onto you.

Hope this helped

People are scared of things they don’t understand. It doesn’t make sense to them so they just fear them or hate them depending on the circumstances.

its natural its all depends on there personality, opinions, religion, ect people are usually raised a certain way, or beleived to beleive in a certain thing anything that either is new and different to what theyve been told or beleive in, or challenges there opinions and beleifs is going to scare them. make them think and wonder maybe there wrong, maybe there are other religions, maybe people are born gay, maybe theres a lot of other options ect, ect usually people just dimiss it and continue to beleive in there current values, opinions and beleifs, ect
