28 Texts To Send To A Friend Who Is Scared

Fear is a very real (and scary) thing. Once it has you in its grip, it’s hard to escape it. And while sometimes fear might be founded in something very real, it can also be the worry of something to come, which can take your anxiety to a whole new level. If you want to let someone know that you’re there for them but don’t quite have the right words to say, these texts to send to a friend who is scared are short, sweet, and supportive.

No matter if your friend’s fear is unfounded or not, it’s very real to them. That’s why you should never try to dismiss their worry as something silly. Of course, if someone you care about is seriously scared and in any kind of danger, you should encourage them to call 911 and be sure that they (and their family) are in a safe place.

But if your friend just needs to read some comforting words, these texts can do the trick.
