I have a problem /out/. I love nature and camping. But when I hear a branch crack or see anything larger than a squirrel, I get very anxious and paranoid to the point of fear. How do I conquer this?

There is :
>a 90% chance you are trolling and have never gone outside OP
>a 9% chance you have gone outside before, and are trolling
>a 1% chance you are being sincere

So which one is it, OP?

Learn about exposure-response therapy aka "easing yourself into it". Works with most anxiety disorders

confidence comes from experience. Every time you hear a noise but nothing bad happens to you, your brain will remember this and next time will be every so slightly less scared. At least that's how I think of it.

Remember OP, as a (presumably) adult human you are larger and more dangerous than nearly anything around you unless you're camping in sub-Saharan Africa or you're a Katmai Timothy Treadwell larper.

Odds are like 97% of the wildlife around you will be terrified of you.

Other people are what you should be worried about.

Its no big deal anon, if some demonic spirit creature takes you in the middle of nowhere, you'll get listed as a missing person and your disappearance will get written off as simple misadventure. Reassuring other hikers that theres nothing to fear and that all natural threats are benign and accounted for.
Paranormal shit cant be proven so who cares.

ah yes, so common in fact that you have to pull up a case from 33 years ago.

They were two couples in their 50's, not your average paranoid sc/out/, I rest my case

99,9 % of murder cases happening in forests or remote areas are women, hence the morbid obsessions this board have with the 2 poor hiker girls (you know who I'm talking about), you're not gonna get killed, you're probably more dangerous than a vast majority of psychos out there due to the sheer paranoia this echo chamber has fed you, not that it's a bad thing.

Carry a gun. If you like autoloading pistols go with a 10mm auto, good for black bears. If you like revolvers a good .44 mag or .357 would work. But remember, a rifle is always better, unless it's a .22

If it makes you feel any better, statistically everyone at least once in their lives passes a cougar on a trail and is spared. Most animals have no reason to attack you unless they are starving or are a mother bear protecting her cubs. If you live America I suggest packing some heat in the form of a gun or bear mace.

If you want a scientific answer to this, you probably have low testosterone. It's been demonstrated in studies that men with higher testosterone are less jumpy when it comes to abrupt auditory stimuli.

I started going /out/ alone at night in the woods, it fixed the problem. Let fear become a part of you. Hear your surroundings and try identifying them, fear comes from the unknown. I ran into some few boars, know how they move, sound and react and you become less scared.
I all of that makes sense.

Most likely what you're hearing is a bigfoot so you don't have to worry because they just want to check out what you're doing. It's pretty rare they'll rip you apart limb by limb and eat your brains so don't worry about it

I have PTSD. It took a while for me to ease into solo /out/ings, but getting a dog helped tremendously. He alerts to anything he thinks threatening so I always have a leg up. I don't necessarily carry iron unless I'm car camping, gerber strongarm knife and bear deterrent spray are enough for 99.9% of circumstances.
