You may be experiencing entomophobia, which is an irrational fear of insects that can stem from traumatic experiences, learned behaviors, or a natural disgust response. Understanding the root cause of your fear can help you address it, and treatments like exposure therapy can be effective in overcoming this phobia.
I was literally bit by an army of FIRE ANTS at THREE YEARS OLD!!!
No I am not exaggerating, no I am not joking, I'm afraid of BUTTERFLIES!!
I mean, come on people! WHO'S AFRAID OF BUTTERFLIES?!?!!?
Besides, I'm getting better and better, trying to be nicer to bugs. Once I'm a nice distance away I think bugs are kinda cute, but when they're close to me, I'm internally screaming.
