Question

Freaking out means?

can u explain this phrase" freaking out" with different situations and examples????

Answer 1

The people I'm around use it to exlain someone getting emotional. It could a be good or bad emotion; and varying strengths...

She freaked out when she saw her new car.

He freaked out when he found out his dad died.

I freak out when I see spider.

Come to think of it, it's pretty meaningless used this way, but oh well.

Answer 2

You could be, for example, eating something and someone could say - "Look, there's a spider in your sandwich!" and then you'd panic, and they'd laugh and tell you it's a joke, and then you might say "That wasn't funny, I was freaking out!"

Or someone could say something bad, then they'd say - "It's not that bad, calm down!" and then you'd reply "I can't calm down, I'm freaking out!"

It's kinda hard to explain, but I hope you got the idea :)
