Britney Spears is terrified of upsetting fans and doing something stupid now she's so close to regaining her freedom.
The pop star's father, Jamie, was recently suspended as her conservator and it's beginning to look like the restrictive agreement that has been hanging over her for 13 years will soon be over.
But fear is beginning to overshadow her happiness, because the Toxic singer doesn't want to be caught on camera messing up and doing something that might make people question whether she's ready to live life without a conservator.
"I'll just be honest and say I've waited so long to be free from the situation I'm in... and now that it's here I'm scared to do anything because I'm afraid I'll make a mistake!!!" Britney said at the beginning of a message to fans posted on Instagram on Friday.
"For so many years I was always told if I succeeded at things, it could end... and it never did!!! I worked so hard but now that it's here and getting closer and closer to ending I'm very happy but there's a lot of things that scare me!!!"
It's clear Britney is still scared of the photographers who have hounded her in the past, with the singer adding: "The paps (paparazzi) run through the trees and onto the road when I drive home and it's creepy!!!! And I have to drive by an elementary school... the kids are a big deal... but so am I!!!!! I don't like that they (photographers) try to scare me and jump out like they do... it's like they want me to do something crazy!!!
"I'm fearful of doing something wrong... so I won't be posting as much in a world where it's our liberty to be free, it's a shame!!! I started experiencing that when I got the keys to my car for the first time 4 months ago and it's been 13 years!!!!"
Britney is trying to lift her spirits by celebrating Christmas a little early and posted a photo of a decorated tree in her home.
Alongside the shot, she penned: "I believe any reason to find more joy in life is a good idea... and it's no secret that I've been through it in the past... so I might have to do things a little differently from now on!!! Lord have mercy on my family's souls if I ever do an interview!!!
"In the meantime... I'm staying clear of the business which is all I've ever known my whole life... which is why this is so very confusing for me!!! Anyway... God bless you all!!!"
