Why you don't need to be afraid

Getting scared of someone is totally natural and it is even good. When we are in danger or in a situation where we cannot easily protect ourselves, our mind creates fear so that we will stay alert and avoid harm that may come from the person. So, stop worrying about the feeling of fearfulness as it is totally ok. Here are powerful reasons why you don't need to be afraid. 

Allah is your biggest benefactor

Stop expecting people to stop scaring you and start relying on Allah. People are nothing when compared with the self-subsisting God. Nobody can love you like Allah does. Since people can never love you like God does, they sometimes make you feel uncomfortable, fearful, weak, disappointed. The reason is, people sometimes cannot accept you as you are, due to their own vested interest. Only Allah accepts you as you are and He is here to make you feel comfortable and confident.
