When I'm driving I'm always scared I'm going to hit the curb causing my turns too wide?

Parking lot parking is fine but when I'm driving I always feel like I'm going to hit the curb but my dad is constantly telling me I'm not that close at all. We were working parking on the side of the road but I kept having trouble because I wouldn't get close to the curb because I was so scared I was about to hit it even though I wasn't. Are there any tricks/ways to know how close you are?

I drive a pretty small car: Toyota Corolla 2005

Thank You!
