<![CDATA[Bug Fear]]>Hi guys, I try to minimize the amount of time I spend outside because I have a huge fear of bugs. I barely go in my pool or hiking even during winter. I try to ground and even tan in my backyard, but the bugs (especially the ones that fly) scare me too much. Does anyone have any tips?

If you grew up eating alot of food/drinks that effect your nervous system then that is probably why you grew a fear for them

If i were you, i would try to desensitize myself to them - by being around them more; that is probably the way to get over it the quickest 🙂

No one else around me is scared of bugs lol. I think its more because they are unpredictable to me, but idk

Has something happened for you to have a genuine fear over bugs or have to just been around people who have that fear so you ended up developing it too?
