Is it normal to be scared of fireworks?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s normal to be scared of fireworks. Their sudden, loud bangs and bright flashes can startle you, and plenty of people would rather watch from indoors—or skip them altogether.
Fireworks are loud, unpredictable, and sometimes feel uncomfortably close, so being startled or anxious around them makes sense. Some people love the spectacle; others find the noise overwhelming, and neither reaction is weird.
If you want to enjoy them, watching from farther away or using earplugs can help. And you don’t have to make yourself go just because everyone else is celebrating.
