“You are more powerful than you know and they fear the day you discover it.”
Maybe they’re afraid of you because you are too honest at times when people are attracted by sweet talkers and manipulators who make lies sound better than the truth. Maybe your truth is too bitter for those who don’t want to feel and taste your genuine self—the people who only want the cherry on top of the cake.
They may perceive you as a threat because you possess a clear understanding of your life goals, while others may be lost in their quest. They might be so caught up in their insecurities that they reject everyone who follows their own path. Moreover, they may have grown accustomed to interacting with insecure individuals who lack self-awareness.
Maybe they’re just afraid of you because you don’t want to take part in their games, where everybody is so consumed by winning that those who refuse to participate are considered losers. In this case, you’re probably surrounded by people who became experts in playing this game, and they don’t want to go back and try again because that would mean that they’re at square one.
They might be afraid because you say things that they don’t want to hear, and it’s totally normal since they got used to the lies others have been telling them for so long. These people believe in the image they create of themselves, not in who they really are. Maybe your words sound so unfamiliar to them that they simply don’t understand them or don’t believe in them.
Maybe you scare them because you pay attention. You don’t forget what they said when they were angry or vulnerable; you pay attention to their eyes, body language, tone of voice, and gestures. Maybe they’re not used to being seen or heard, and your attention makes them feel uncomfortable because it means that they have to take the mask off.
Maybe they’re scared of you because you are aware of their fears, and yet you are not being overly cautious. Maybe you’re carefree with your heart and feelings, and they don’t know how to cope with them; it confuses them. They actually can’t deal with anything that affects their routine or reality. Maybe your heart rate is a bit faster, and they can’t keep up.
Maybe they’re afraid of you because you don’t need them, because they know you can survive without them, because they know you won’t wait for them, because they know you stand up for yourself, and because they know you won’t be just another number in their phone book.
Maybe they’re afraid of you because you appreciate yourself, because you’re strong enough to let go and leave, and because you are smart enough to know your value. Maybe they got so used to the pedestal that they’ve been put on that they have no idea how to function anywhere else.
Regardless of the reasons, keep scaring them. Keep scaring them with your sincerity, with your strength, your goodness, your love, your understanding, with your words, with your eyes, with your presence, and with your ability to read them. Keep reading until you find someone as brave as yourself.
The one who won’t be afraid of you—someone as fierce as you.

Take great care in making sure the one not afraid of you, just as brave as you, is not a sociopath though.
That is a big-risk for us. So many of us have to learn this the hard way.
