Why am I afraid to try to meditate? [Spirituality & Religion]

I know you can't answer this for ME personally, but that is one of the most burning questions I have. Why am I so afraid of my own mind?

you are not afraid of meditation. your mind is afraid of it. meditation is the death of the mind. and your mind makes you believe that you would look stupid if meditate because it might not give any results. meditation is being here and now and mind is all about the past and the future running from the one to the other

@Emarky my mind thinks I'll discover something I can't handle if I stop the distractions

the thing is your mind is the distraction. and instead being under your control you became a slave of your own mind. as we all did.

and what do you think might be so dangerous to discover?

@Emarky I don't know. lol It's an intense fear that my mind has, but one I feel I must get over.
