I am scared and traumatized?

[Spo1gel]

I was driving early morning to go for eid prayer at 5:00 AM. I thought that there was no need to take my phone so I just left it home and went alone. I took a right then approached the left side so I can take the U turn. When I had begun my approach, I saw no car to my left. granted, I should have used a turn signal even if the street was clear. I am about to take my turn when all of a sudden a red BMW is directly to my left. I dont know if I had simply not seen them or they were trying to sneak by. I tried to give way but they kept honking and getting ragey. This raged me a bit too. so I sped off took the turn ( perhaps a bit aggressively, however without being anywhere close to the red bmw) and tried to leave. This was some sort of invitation to them. They kept trying to cut me off or hit me from the back. They would slow me down and park the car sideways to to block me off and get into a fight. I would swerve away. They would speed up, and I did not want to take a part in it so I'd slow down so they can just go ahead and leave me alone, but they would still come for me. they blocked me off and I yelled out "you dont need to be so damn aggressive". and just swerved again and tried to disengage. they kept following me. I decided not to go to the mosque as I had feared for my life, so I tried going back. They followed me still. All of a sudden it was two cars. A silver BMW joined. Each car is carrying at least two people. They both kept trying to bump into me or block my road to fight. I kept trying to get away. They blocked me off again. I opened the window and said " Sorry if I bothered you, its my fault. I don't want to fight" trying to just end this situation. Another car joined. A bystander. He asked me what is going on. I told him that they keep trying to cut me off and that I don't want a part in this. He told me to reverse back the road and that he will block them off for me. Right now I feel too scared to leave the house, and like a coward for not fighting.

I want to note that I narrowly avoided all collisions and contact. Although at some point he got out of his car and started kicking my rear car door.

How not to be afraid? I would also be fearful of my life if that happened to me because of the crazy people that exist. Perhaps they mistook you for someone else? Seeing that its 2 cars, maybe it waa planned? If you're leavinf home, try to use your car at a minimum, but dont allow fear to keep you inside. Be cautious, but live your life. Pray for God's protection, and make a police report. I will also pray for u too. Be safe king🙏 all will be well

I don't know zayn. I know that leaving the situation was the right decision. I definitely minimized casualties. I avoided accidents to my car or theirs. I avoided crashing into any bystander. I avoided needless violence by leaving. All that aside, I feel weak. I feel like I cannot defend myself. Granted I got out of it relatively unharmed, save for a broken back bumper (that was damaged in my escape) and a severely bruised ego.

Bro u survived, and thats because God kept u alive. You could have died, or got into a more severe accident. You avoided many casualties because God has compassion in u. And he still does. You will get over this situation in time. Just try to relax. Dont keep the situation or fears constantly in your thoughts, until u recover. God is on your side my friend🙏

Sounds like it could have been an armed robbery, should report to police
