My sponsor told me fear is: false evidence appearing real. Perhaps you can step back and realize you have no basis for this specific fear and none of us are good at predicting the future.

You're doing great!!!
I like your sponsors take on fear, sometimes I build these crazy scenarios in my head involving someone not liking me or worse and the only thing they are based on is false evidence and some crazy script I build in my own head...
