When out and about, does anything irrationally scare you/make you nervous?

When about and about, does anything irrationally scare you or make you nervous?

I am quite scared of dogs and find myself becoming more and more so. I don't like them if they are big and especially them ugly dogs (pit bulls?) breeds which look sinister and evil. I purposely walk around them or away from them and I found out my grandad is the same. What else? Can't really think of anything else but I do always check behind me now and again to see who is behind or if anybody is following... which is just common sense really isn't it?

How about you?

When people are walking behind me I tend to feel nervous, I will sometimes either walk faster, if they're close by let them go past me by walking slow or cross the road. However, when the boot is on the other foot and they are in front of me and I am getting closer to them I will slow down so I do not have to pass them.

Also dogs generally if they are being walked on the same side of the road as me and they are approaching me. I do not mind some dogs, but if they are barking at me and stuff it is annoying. When I go out and walk down my street I know this certain family has dogs, they have made the fence bigger and boarded it up now so they do not bark as much when you go past. However, I will usually cross over as I need to be at that side of the street generally anyway.

Ye. Being out alone scares me a bit. Also if people are behind me I tend to get really paranoid. Also if I am in a big crowd that scares me a lot. Nothing really as of dogs or anything like that though lol.

there's this road i have to walk down to get to uni and there are open passages on the wall to get to the door of houses and it freaks me out cause often there are people standing there having a smoke or something and i freak out that they're gonna jump out and kidnap me :( so i walk on the side of the road instead

Yeah, when I was a little younger I was followed and attacked by a group of people and now I can't go out without the fear that any random person will. I hate walking past small groups (especially teens) because it makes me so nervous and scared ehh.

I also have a fear of dogs.

I hate big crowds of people as well (y'know, at the dundee city center and stuff), I can't stand it. It just gets me angry and maybe even dizzy being in a crowd of people.
