Stages of Self Oracle Online: Your Journey to Self-Empowerment
 

That sharp attitude and the urge to snap back – it might be a disguise. Fear can be sneaky and has a way of masquerading as defensiveness. Think about it. When we're scared, we raise our guard, ready to deflect any perceived threat. But this can come across as harsh and unapproachable.

Take a deep breath. Step back from the situation. Is there a genuine threat, or is fear whispering in your ear? Sometimes, a simple pause and a question – "Am I reacting out of fear?" – can be all it takes to shift your perspective.

Remember, a confident attitude stems from a place of security. By acknowledging you are responding from fear, you can minimise your reactive responses.
