Hahaha. Bears are my GF's favorite animal so I have the exact opposite problem. She'll try to hug one if she has the chance... However, I personally have never seen a bear in Yosemite, and most people I've talked to haven't either. I don't think there are too many left in that particular area.
If you do see one though, I hear they're super friendly because they're use to the constant human interaction. They're also pretty small (like medium sized dog). Nothing to worry about! I assume it's an irrational fear though
A large bear tried to break into our cabin at the Ahwahnee one winter. It certainly wasn't the size of a medium dog!
