Is it normal to be scared of war?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to be scared of war. It’s a frightening possibility, and hearing about conflict in the news can make the fear feel closer and harder to switch off.

War involves real danger and uncertainty, so fear is a very human response—not a sign that you’re overreacting or weak. News and social media can also keep the worry switched on, even when you’re not in immediate danger.

If it’s getting in the way of your day, try taking breaks from constant updates and talking it through with someone you trust. You don’t have to pretend you’re not worried; it can help to focus on what’s actually within your control right now.
