What's the best way to stop being afraid of discrimination?

Discrimination is a part of social life. Every person has a mind-set in which they think that a group of people deserve more than others. The best way to stop being afraid of it is by not caring what other think. Other thoughts and mind-set shouldn't affect you, its their thinking not yours and the only way you are harming yourself is by letting it affect you.

Personally, one thing I found helpful was the realization that I was expecting a negative reaction, even before I received it. When I recognized this, I could see that going into a situation or interaction expecting the worst might have seemed like self-protection, but actually was not setting up the dynamic for success and sometimes led to false assumptions. Now, I try to assume the best going in, which leaves more emotional energy for when things really do go awry.

When you see it, confront it, and know that you have made the world a better place for the next person.

Be your own person. Do what makes you happy focus on your own life. You cant change what people think but you can change how you react to it

By accepting that discrimination happens. I have a lot about me that people discriminate against me for. What can I do about it? Nothing. Nor does it truly matter. It just gives us good information of who we should spend our time with.

Work to be your best self and then those who love you will continue to love you and those who don't, they don't really matter so much. If you are right with you and your conscience, that is the best thing.

When you learn to love yourself, everything around you becomes beautiful, and when they discriminate, you learn to overlook it.

Being self-confident! If they receive the message, great! If don't, you will always be fine Trying to convince someone who wont give up may cause you damages There are group or individual therapies focused on your demand, many many professionals able to help you in your way to self-confidence!

To love yourself and be comfortable in your own skin. You are powerful and strong . People can't drag you down unless you let them. Stay strong .

I can't say what's the "best" way for everyone, since dealing with our fears is a very individual matter. What works for you may not be the best way of going about it for somebody else, and visa versa. However, one thing that you can do can be to surround yourself with open, honest, non-discriminatory people in your life. When you stop feeling discriminated against (by removing discriminatory people from your circle of friends, coworkers, etc), perhaps you will also be less afraid of it. For example, how afraid are you of getting polio if you don't see people suffering from it every day?
