Hello native English speakers. The following is many sentences written by me expressing the same meaning by my trying my best to make them concise, while , as a native Chinese speaker, I have no courage to say they are grammatically correct.
1. I fear nobody when shutting my door, whereas I do anybody when opening it.
2. I fear nobody when closing my door but anybody when opening it.
3. Shutting my door, I fear nobody, opening it, I fear anybody.
4. Shutting my door, I fear nobody, but/while/when/however opening it, I fear anybody.
5. Shutting my door, I am afraid of none/nobody, whereas opening it, I fear anybody.
6. Shutting my door, I fear nobody, where I open it, I fear anybody.
Question: Which is grammatically correct?
Do they have the same meaning?

"I fear nobody when shutting my door, but I fear anybody when opening it."
"Shutting my door, I fear nobody; opening it, I fear anybody."
"Shutting my door, I am afraid of nobody; whereas opening it, I fear anybody."
Polished, native-like version:
"Behind closed doors, I fear no one; but when I open them, I fear everyone."
I hope this is helpful.
