Take the test?

I’ve missed my predicted period date and well I’m super nervous. I know I should take a test and get it over with already but I’m scared of what it will say I’m scared that I will be doing it alone but being a parent has been a dream since I was young and I know I’m ready for a Child. I just don’t want to give up my hopes considering I’ve been experiencing nipple sensitivity along with other symptoms pointing towards pregnancy but what if it’s negative😅 am I wrong for giving up hope when there is a possibility?
