Thank you both for sharing your experiences!
I've been afraid of walking/cycling past groups of teenage boys, I fear they'll shout out profanities. But they hardly ever have, and the times they have shouted out something rude, I still survived. I've been safe.
I also became afraid of panic attacks, mostly because I didn't want anyone at work/anyone I don't know well see me having them.. But a couple of times, I called a friend who also suffered from them for support, and she was lovely. I was safe.
One thing I'm absolutely terrified of is having to give presentations in front of people, or even just having to say something in a group like, for instance, in school or at work.. While those situations have been majorly uncomfortable for me (blushing, sweating, voice shaking, feeling ashamed..) I've still always survived them. I've been safe..
