I really enjoyed bow hunting for deer in WI. I have a place to hunt in the northwoods I walked in and out of the woods encountered bears. wolves follow me carrying no pistol just me and my Bow i had sow s with cubs 10yards from me I enjoyed it but put me in a group of people and I get anxiety and panic attacks. Why?

Hello eyeclosed: I don't know the answer to this either. I presume it has something to do with your past. All I can say is my own past & present was / is such a tangled mess I just don't know what to think about it.

Sometimes I fantasize that perhaps I could find a therapist with whom I could, over time, honestly explore all that has gone on with me & figure out what it was all about. But realistically I doubt I'd ever find a therapist I could do that with. Plus there are some aspects of the whole twisted mess that I could never tell anyone about. The humiliation factor would be off the charts! And, anyway, in the end what good would it do at this stage of my life? Besides, I can't afford. So it all just is what it is.

Maybe because people can talk...and do they ever! But really, there is no competition between man and animal where many humans seem to think life with others like themselves is a contact sport.
