Day 2: List 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears

Honestly speaking, I don't really have any severe fears.

But some things I am slightly terrified of include:

1) Public Speaking. I have mixed feelings about this. When it comes to an audience I'm familiar with, I have absolutely no problem speaking my mind and heart out. However, when it's with an unfamiliar audience, then I start to dread it just a bit. I'm not sure what it is about public speaking, but I'm just not comfortable with it all the time. Perhaps it's a lack of confidence or simply a lack of experience.
2) Dogs. Yup, you read right. I'm scared of dogs! I know they're cute furry little animals, but I can't help but be afraid when I see one. Whenever I come across a dog while walking on the sidewalk, my first instinct is to cross the street or walk as closest to the edge of the sidewalk as possible to avoid any contact. Sometimes even after I pass a dog while walking, I start fast-walking ahead so that the dog can't catch up to me. When I see a dog, I keep thinking it's going to bite me or bark at me which is why I try so hard to avoid them. I've been afraid of dogs since forever but a particular incident that definitely sparked this fear was when I was young and I was walking home. I passed by a dog hoping it'd just ignore me as I moved along, but I was wrong. It started BARKING AT ME really loudly and tried to even chase after me! (Thank god it was on a leash). That scarred me a little bit.
3) Dark. I don't like being outside when it's dark by myself. It's not really the actual darkness that scares me. But, it's more of what could happen in the dark. Especially since I know my neighborhood isn't exactly the safest, I'm a little fearful of any potential rapists or criminals in general.
