Scorpio

The thing you are afraid of becoming is also the thing you check for in other people with an attention that borders on suspicious. You watch how they handle their own version of this same fear, taking mental notes on who flinches and who does not, who names it directly and who talks around it. This double awareness means you are learning about your own edges by studying everyone else's. The fear teaches you to see, and the seeing builds exactly the skill the fear was always going to require.
