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

the world is a scary place and that fear is understandable. if you are afraid of violence against you, it is (depending on your location) within your rights to carry small weapons or pepper spray with you. consider going places in groups. there are apps that are used to make emergency calls with the press of a button.

To stand up for yourself and don't be afraid or hide from people who you think are not treating you fairly. They are usually cowards.

Unfortunately, it surrounds us. Continue to be true to yourself, and treat people exactly, how you would want to be treated.

I don't think you ever get over being afraid of discrimination. I do think you can shrink into a manageable fear though, by knowing exactly what situations this may occur and and getting ready your responses ahead of time. This will help with most cases. There will always be a surprise time when it comes up out of the blue. Best to take some deep breaths, process and revisit the situation another time if you can....don't always react in the moment, put some thought into it...There are all different ways to be discriminated against for all different reasons. It's best to work with the acknowledge the fear but don't let it stop you from experiencing life.

First of all, run a discrimination check on yourself. It may be easy to spot discrimination among others. That's why it is important to find out whether you have treated others unfairly in the past. You may need others' stories to help you do the reflection. Picture yourself in somebody else's shoes. We are humans. We are afraid of things that we don't understand and sometimes can't relate to. But the solution can only come from a well adjusted mindset. It's not easy. It can cost more time and energy. However, the inner work will eventually pay off. Maybe you may end up being the one who can create positive changes in others.

I think the best way to stop being afraid of discrimination is to love and accept your original self. To do so, try to participate in something which energizes and makes you feel good about yourself, such as cooking, doing yoga, self-care, volunteering and participating in sports and extracurricular activities. As we start to enriching our lives by exploring our true talent and what we're good at, our confidence builds and that fear of discrimination would vanish. It is also important to distinguish between 'being afraid of discrimination' and 'actually being discriminated by others'. The former comes from our mind and the way we process reality, which can be changed as we wished and the latter comes from actions of others which we can't help but to discourage such practices if they aren't reasonable.
