Is it normal to be scared of violence?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes. Being scared of violence is a normal way your mind tries to protect you, especially if you’ve experienced it or feel unsafe.
Most people feel some fear around violence. It can be a sensible reaction to danger, and news or past experiences can make that fear feel stronger even when you’re currently safe.
If the fear is taking over your day, keeping you from doing things you want, or making it hard to feel safe even when there’s no immediate danger, talking it through with someone you trust or a counselor may help. And if you’re in danger right now, focus on getting somewhere safe and contacting local emergency support.
