[What Do I Do?] I want to confront someone, but I'm scared...

Im afraid of judgment and rejection. I feel like Im crazy and Im afraid Ill be treated differently if people knew what is really wrong with me

...Because you might wind up hurting someone you care about.

Everyone is unique. We can't be sure how others will react when put under pressure. Even if you know someone really well, there may be times when they react surprisingly and that can make us feel confused, scared and afraid to talk to people over time. We need to be calm and think about opening our mouths to not agravat the confrontation :)

you can't predict how they'll feel or react

You might be afraid of rejection or not being understood.b

They may harm you

It can be scary to confront others because you don't really know they will react and the unknown is always scary.,

You don't know how they're going to react to you and it's important to protect your energy.

You will never be able to trust their response completely

I think unresolved issues with my daughter may cause anxiety and make me feel overwhelmed and down. However she doesn't think that she needs to change only me. I can see that we both need to change and have been working with a therapist. What should I do? We went over a month without talking at all and I was less stressed. It is very scary to think of confronting her.
