Today, my anxiety was so bad that when I was riding my bike on the sidewalk and two pedestrians came walking in the opposite direction, I got so nervous about having to go between them or accidentally hitting them that I fell off my bike, into a bush. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as I was taking a walk, I heard a cyclist and so I wanted to move to the other side of the sidewalk for them. It turns out that I walked directly in front of them instead. Nearly scared them to death. FML
Today, while riding my bike on the sidewalk, I came across a ladder. To avoid bad luck, I swerved around it into the street. I got hit by a car. FML
Today, I was riding my bike down a road I know is quite hazardous. Having almost been hit in the same spot the day before, I rode across the intersection very satisfied without having been injured. Until I crashed into the guy front of me and flipped over my handlebars. FML
Today, I got really anxious thinking I was going to piss off the guy behind me by not moving off at a stop light fast enough. It got so bad that I had a panic attack right there in my car. FML
Today, I was literally startled by my own shadow. I hate having anxiety. FML
Today, I was walking down the street when I saw a friend I hadn't seen in years. I was so excited to catch up with her that I ran across the street without looking and almost got hit by a car. I ended up stumbling out of panic and landed on a pile of trash on the sidewalk. FML
Today, I was riding down a hill on my bike, doing a wheelie, when I lost control and started heading towards a woman on the sidewalk. Don't worry, I didn't hit her, the man beside her lunged and shoved my bike so hard that I hit concrete and broke three teeth. He then screamed, "Watch it, punk!" and walked off. FML
Today, I fell off my bike. I grazed my knee, shin, thigh, hip, collar bone, shoulder and face. I also strained my wrist. As I was wheeling my bike away, I stung my other leg on nettles. FML
Today, I was taking a leisurely stroll through the woods in the nice cool weather, when a mountain biker came out of nowhere and tore past, barely missing me. As I counted my luck, another biker followed the first and crashed right into me. FML
Today, while biking, I got into a major crash with two cars. The cars were parked. FML

Running over them would be just fine.

I hope you're okay... But next time just stop. Or scream "Aaaahhh" the entire time. They'll move. Trust me.

OP should be fine, they were riding on the sidewalk so they probably weren't going mach 5, and OP has anxiety issues anyway so they probably fell into the bush at about stoping speed.

I've done that, except it wasn't because of anxiety, it was because the ******* wouldn't move...

26- Cads comment was aimed at number 1. I feel bad for people with anxiety attacks. From the couple I've experienced, I know they're shitty. Sorry OP, just read the FML about the dude peeing on the bug. That'll make u feel better.

Well...problem solved.

I thumbed this one up. On a bike you could just fall over if you need to bail. I would hate to see the outcome if OP was operating a 1 ton steel brick with no "fall over" option.

Sorry, I forgot how the replies work on this site, I just woke up. I was referring to 61. I tried to edit but ran out of time.

Nobody's said it yet? Okay! Alright*

Man, I'm so sorry OP! I have generalized anxiety disorder so I know your pain. At least you don't get so anxious you can almost faint on command. :/ It'll be okay dearie! I have hope for you!

Just calm down, and go around them

If you have anxiety you can't just "calm down"
rattusrattus 19
Well, you can 'calm down', but it generally takes more than five seconds (and I'm being generous here!)

Next time just brake and think about it or wait for them to pass you.

Hopefully you didn't follow up with making it look like it didn't happen or you did it on purpose, not sure how you could pull that off. Also I hope it wasn't a prickly one!

You're not the only one! I've been in that situation before and it's super awkward so I usually just ride on the side of the road when I see people coming. Try that, OP!

Why the thumbs down? It's a reasonable solution. A lot of places don't allow cyclists on the sidewalks anyway.
