It’s important to reframe the word *fear* here.
Often, what people “fear” about you is actually:
* Your confidence
* Your boundaries
* Your self-awareness
* Your emotional honesty
These qualities can be intimidating—not because they’re negative, but because they highlight areas others haven’t explored in themselves.

## What This Exercise Can Teach You
This reflection isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about understanding how your presence lands—and deciding what to do with that awareness.
You might ask yourself:
* Do I soften or hide certain traits to make others comfortable?
* Do I feel misunderstood because people assume things about me?
* Am I okay being seen as intense, honest, or independent?
There’s power in knowing that your energy affects people—even when you’re just being yourself.

## Final Thoughts
The first three colors you notice don’t define you—but they may reveal something about how your energy is received.
Sometimes, people fear what they don’t understand.
Sometimes, they fear what challenges them.
And sometimes, they fear what reminds them of who they could be.
If your presence makes others pause, reflect, or feel slightly unsettled—it may not be a flaw.
It may simply mean you carry depth, clarity, or strength.
And that’s nothing to apologize for.
