Why so scared?

[Zip]

It seems that every week we get at least one or two threads about a bug or spider someone has found in there house.

Then there is a barrage of people saying OMG how gross/Scary is that or how much they hate them and how much they make them feel weird and scare them and what not.

What is so scary about something that is so small and isnt really all that disgusting and in most cases perfectly harmless?

Are people just becoming soft little wusses these days or something or are you doing it all for show?

**** roaches arnt scary or dangerous, would you let one run accross your face?

Yes, i could quite easily do let one do that if i wanted

it's a phobia

phobia=irrational fear

irrational fear=no rationalising

so .... it doesn't matter whether they can hurt you or not - that's the whole point of something being irrational.

Every thing seems to be a Phobia/Disorder/Syndrome these days, Why dont people stop being soft and using them as excuses and try to get over them

I actually had therapy to try and 'get over' my spider phobia. I actually passed out with fear several times during the therapy and in the end my psychiatrist said he thought it would be detrimental to my health to carry on.

Why not try face it head on instead of going to a Psychiatrist to talk about spiders?

Try picking up a daddy long legs to start with and begin from there (just dont pick up white tails or red backs but i imagine you dont ahve those there anyway)

Even so, why the hell should I? I wouldn't force you to do something you were scared of because I thought it was stupid. I'd just respect that you didn't like it/didn't want to do it and leave it there.

I used to be a Nervous and scared person and stll am a bit.
I was scared of almost anything that could hurt or kill me some how.

But then one day i thought to my self "Hang on this is BS, If other people can do that so can i"
I just took complete control of my self and my nerves and fear even though i was crapping my self at the time i just used will power to push through it and off the cliff i went

TBH ive never felt more excited or such a rush then pushing through the fear barrier for the first time
It makes you feel free.

It wont just help with your fear of spiders but will help you do anything you dont want to do or scared of doing because you will know how to take control of your emotions and fears

I have no phobias, but I wonder if you have any concept of what it's like living with one? I think generalising and calling everyone "wusses" and soft is a little bit far.

Ive had phobias before, read the my last post

The day i realised how stupid it was and i need to get rid of it is the day i started to have more fun in life and felt much more safe and free

Would you be scared if pretty much any insect or insects ran across your face even if they were harmless. The above guys pretty much explained why they get scared i am just putting it in prospective.

A bug that you wernt expecting running across your face will make you jump and flick it off because its instinct to remove it.

Im talking like the people that just see a bug in a room minding its own buisness and they just jump up and down screaming and call for someone to "Hurry up and kill" and basicly have a screaming fit.
I find that highly anoying
