Question

Is there a difference between being afraid and being emotionally prepared if you are expecting something bad?

Answer 1

Yes, "prepared" is not the same as "dread".

Sorry for the eariler confusion. "Dread" and "afraid" are the same thing. "Prepared" means to brace yourself, but it is not the same as to live in fear.

Answer 2

yes and no if u know something bad is going to happen u are afraid but being afraid is preparing you for that something bad.
