Oh, man.  Nasty dogs and toads?  Both legitimate in my book.

Though my mother had a window well (a protective space for a basement window) that was just full of toads.  She fed them and kept them hydrated all the time.  They were toads but were called Frobbies because that's what her eldest grandson first called them when he saw them.  

All she had to do to start the show was sprinkle a little water in the window well and they'd rise up and wiggle around...

Toads...They're not really very attractive...Frogs now...Well, we all know that kissing a frog turns it into a handsome price right? Fear no frog. Lol.

I also share the fear of accidentally hurting someone :( It's something I've really never identified as a "fear", until I read your post. But it certainly exists. 

Ironically, cats scare me 😂 Toads are kinda weird too. But they're kinda cute :)

Hi @mipiano. Scared of dogs? I can imagine. I was too when I was a kid. As I grew older and we had an alsatian dog at home, I began to understand and befriend them. I guess it's all about knowing them.

> Some bigger scare would be hurting someone with words or actions unintentionally. 

I'd often wondered why it happens that way. I read somewhere that someone cannot make me feel bad ***if*** I do not want to. That means it's up to us how we respond to every situation. We could choose to feel bad or not. Does that make sense? I realised its mostly based on the circumstance and the interpretation we give to the words or actions. I'd like to know how you avoid hurting someone with your words or actions. ☺️

You had my vote at "cat person."

I understand your fear of toads and we call them frogs.
Did you know that when a toad urinates on you then you will get warts 😉
