GET IT AWAY FROM ME!

By mottephobe - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I subbed for a first grade class. They were releasing butterflies. Butterflies scare me shitless. A bunch of 7 year-olds watched as I screamed hysterically when one landed on me. FML

This reminds me of that episode of Pokémon where Caterpie was all up in Misty's everything and she was completely ******* terrified of it.

some or most people have phobias mines is acrophobia "the fear of height", you don't have phobias randomly it's usually you had a bad experience that had cause you to have a phobia. I can never never stand on a table go on the second floor in malls or a table without having a panic attack, nausea, faint, dizzy and etc. phobias aren't bs they are real. don't be a douche especially about something you never had or experience.

You don't need childhood trauma (or any other reason) to have a phobia.

Phobias are irrational and you don't get to choose what you're afraid of, but you can choose how you respond to the fear. I'm afraid of moths, preying mantises, and a bunch of other things (I used to let spider babies crawl all over me but not so much any more) I don't freak out when I see those things, especially around kids. You've got to learn to control your fear instead of letting it control you.

#98, Sure, there's some that do that shit for attention, but real phobias are an actual medical condition, and the people suffering from them definitely don't want to be. I have demophobia, fear of crowds. Do you think I *like* not being able to go to the mall on the weekends, or not being able to go to an awesome concert or something? No. It's not a choice, I'm fully aware that it's irrational, and if I could make it go away, I most definitely would.
