Look at how many other people died in New York that day from things like traffic accidents, murders etc. And look how many people die every day. Think how many times you have been out in the past and it has NOT happened to you and you will realise the chances of it happening are tiny, miniscule. So you can either spend the rest of your life indoors, being scared, or you can accept there is always a small risk in everything and you can get on with enjoying your life. Just remember though, the majority of accidents happen in the home!

Stop watching fear mongering 24 hour news channels. There's no rational reason for you to be afraid because a very small number of people died in places a long way away from you. The reason you do feel afraid is because the news is playing up these minor incidents that pose no significant threat to the public at large. Stop letting them shape your perceptions for their own profit and you'll feel much better.

Carry a gun and learn how to use it well. That's what they are for... to protect against lunatics.

Buy a gun, learn how to use it, and get a concealed carry permit.

Hide under the bed,they never look there.

Sh*t happens,and when it does,you wont know what happened until you wake up in hospital.

u have to accept ur fate....

u all gonna die.

I live.

I M RAMBO.

I am a nervous weak, and can't leave my house. I don't even want to for Halloween. I have heard about the Oklahoma and Long Island beheadings, the New York hatchet attack, and the Canada shooting. I live in NC by the way. How do I overcome this fear?
