“Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends”
— Shirley MacLaine

Simplified Meaning:
When people are scared or feel afraid, they often build walls between themselves and others. This fear can make them keep their distance from new people or anyone they don’t know well. Even though these people might actually be friendly and nice, fear stops us from getting to know them. Imagine a new kid in school who looks different or speaks a different language. Because of fear, the other kids might avoid or ignore the new kid, missing out on a chance to make a new friend. If we let go of our fear, we might discover that the new kid is really fun to be around and could become one of our best friends. So, it's important to try to be brave and keep an open mind, because we might find friendship in unexpected places.
