ok so it may be common knowledge now but i have very bad entomophobia and it usually leaves me with meltdowns, panic attacks, nausea, etc (i pretty much classify with everything relating to it such as rapid heart rate and shortness of breath, sweating and shaking, being dizzy, avoiding outside or parks in fear of bugs, getting sensations of bugs crawling on me, dread, a LOT.) how do yall cope with that how are you guys not terrified because i really wanna get over it and be like “oh haha thats cute i wont kill it because it kills other bugs i dont want” but i just cant help it and AGH none of this is a vent by the way, just a rant, education about whats going on and what i deal with, AND A CALL FOR HELP FROM PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY LIKE BUGS 💔💔 and please avoid using pictures because even pictures freak me out 😔 TLDR: what are the things you like about bugs and give me tips on how to desensitize
