This will sound trite but it's true because I have been there.
Become more afraid of missing out n making a connection with Hashem. Realize that all of the things you listed have no power. Only He has power. And He loves you and everything He does is ltova.

Fear is the root of all evil.

Work on your emunah and bitochon. I have fears just like any other human. When I go into a situation I am afraid of I tell hashem that he is in charge and I trust him fully. What is meant to happen will happen. It’s a work in progress. But with working on trusting hashem it gets easier.

Fear is useful. It protects us from doing stupid, reckless and dangerous things. The challenge is to trust that usually, everything will be fine.

It's good to be afraid of these things because that will cause you to take proper action to protect yourself. However, I get the sense that you're asking how you can stop worrying about these things excessively. Is that so?

OP, you have to be afraid of these things, if not you might end up doing something dangerous.
Who isn't afraid of all things you listed?

If the fear is limiting your life and effecting your functioning, you can try the Emunah and Bitachon route (really, every person, even if not bothered by fear needs to do that) but if it's not enough, therapy can be very helpful and allow you to live a full and happy life.

My biggest fear are damages caused by other people in my life. (Damages to self, children, spouse, self-esteem, reputation, monetary etc.) I keep telling myself that no one can touch a hair on your head unless it was decreed by Above. I know there's a saying by our sages but I don't recall the exact words.
