What are they use our fears?

They use our fears to make us do things we wouldn’t normally do.

Imagine you’re playing hide-and-seek in your house. You're hiding behind the couch, and you hear someone walking toward you, step by step. That’s fear, and it makes your heart go thump-thump-thump! Now imagine if someone said, “If you stay hidden, you’ll win a big chocolate bar!” Suddenly, that fear doesn’t feel so bad anymore. It even helps you stay quiet longer.

Fears are like a little friend who wants to help you, but sometimes it gets loud and makes you jump!

When someone uses your fears, they’re saying things like, “What if you fail?” or “What if no one likes you?” These questions make the fear friend shout louder, so you might feel like running away. But once you face that fear, just like facing that person in hide-and-seek, it gets easier to keep going!
