I don't know if I'm just lazy and making excuses why I can't do something or there's something else behind it, so I'll tell you my problems in detail.

I would really like to go swimming. I have already bought a season ticket so I can actually go there anytime, but I haven't swam for a long time and I can't swim that well. I'm not a professional swimmer, but I want to swim regularly and improve my stamina even though I'm not good at swimming. But I'm afraid to go there alone because I'm afraid that others will laugh at me, that I can't swim well, and I would like someone I know to go there with me at least three or four times.

I really like going to a forest, but ever since a guy scared me to death twice in a row, I've been avoiding a forest and at the beginning when it happened to me I avoided being outside in general. The guy probably did it for fun but I don't know because he was as silent as a grave. Twice I thought I was really going to die because of him

Sorry this is so long, but this is my third and last problem. I used to run, but ever since a dog ran after me on one of my morning runs, I stopped running altogether. I was scared again that I was going to die, but the dog got scared of the road I was running towards. I was lucky.

With that dog and that guy, I'm not afraid of those two specifically, but of all guys and dogs. Because that guy isn't the only crazy guy out there and that dog isn't the only poorly behaved dog out there. There are many more and if that guy from before or that dog doesn't hurt me, it could be anyone else who does it instead of them.
