Hey /an/, how does one cure bug phobia?
Because of the heat the bugs here are almost LOLAUSTRALIA as size.
I'm not scared at all by the dead/non-moving ones. The IRL ones that are moving scare me.
Pic unrelated.

cover your self in every bug species withing 100 miles and run around screaming " I AM NOT AFRAID I AM NOT AFRAID I AM NOT AFRAID I AM NOT AFRAID I AM NOT AFRAID" until you arent scared anymore

Let some harmless bugs like moths or ladybugs fly around you and crawl on you until you get over it. Move on to something scarier like a big beetle. So on and so on.

Realize that these things are rarely bigger than your fingers, then lol at yourself for being afraid of them

If it was black(in b4 OP is racist), maybe it would be horrifying.
As i said, I'm not scared of pics. IRL stuff scares me.

To those that said that i should realize bugs are harmless(well, at least most of them), well, i pretty much realize that.
Bugs for me are like ghosts.
Even if you know they aren't real, they still creep you out.

The only solution is confrontation.
Look out for a bug with LOLAUSTRALIA size (pic related), take it....and realize it's totally harmless.

You can also start with smaller ones and gradually approach to big chitin-chunks.

Oh, I forgot something.
Don't say you totally realized that they're harmless if they still creep you out, that's lying to yourself.

usually if i am being creeped out by a bug i remind myself of its purpose.

i have no fear anymore of spiders around my apartment: they kill all of the mosquitos and garden pests that frequent my area in the summer. they are cool with me.

do some research on the different species of bugs in your area. learn about their behavior, their habits and their place in the natural order. if you gain respect for the bugs, you will start to lose your fear. irrational fear arises out of ignorance.
