True.
I'm the one with the problem.
Dog-owners don't seem to have any problem here.
I need to avoid dogs. I get sick from their dander. I have to avoid them, and because many dogs are friendly/aggressive, I have to avoid them more.
And then some dog owners say dogs "respond aggressively" when they see I'm avoiding them, and "instinctively give chase" when I run from them. Which does not make me feel any safer around dogs or around people who willingly keep dogs.
I often have to backtrack long distances, or take long detours, when walking places, because I need to avoid dogs and some dog-owners insist on bringing dogs everywhere.
Even when I'm trying to relax where dogs aren't allowed, I often get surprised or even cornered unable to escape, because I need to avoid dogs and some dog-owners insist on bringing dogs everywhere.
