Challenging yourself and facing your fears is a very important part of growing as an individual. You might find that my example is silly and that I could have found a better one, but those who really know me know that I have some strange feelings about geese and swans. I won't go into detail of why that is, but in short I get very freaked out when these beautiful creatures come towards me or somewhere near me begin to flap their wings {even thinking about it makes me shiver}. My point is that to get rid off some fears you might have to get closer to them. Seems weird and of course you will feel a bit scared at first, but once you do that little by little you will get more comfortable being around something that you were afraid of. At least this was the case for me. At first I began by taking pictures of the swans from a distance, but step by step I tried to get as close as I can, I felt challenged but I liked it. And now these creatures freak me out a bit less {I believe so}.
My advice would be to keep encouraging yourself to feel more secure one time after the other. You can do it.
Take care,
Juste
