#roach phobia

[oca-rinn-a]

had a full on falling-apart of my brain at 4am, trying to muster the will and plan how to contain a roach (American),

so naturally as soon as i wake up i read the creature's full wikipedia page.

#i succeeded in containment #but i had to leave him under a cup on the floor #i had to go to sleep #the task sapped all my energy #now he's just over there #under the cup #and i'm so afraid of him for no reason! #it's the wings actually mostly #cockroach #american cockroach #roach #Periplaneta americana #why do they have to have wings #he was just minding his business exploring my bathroom #being entirely harmless #poor guy spent the night under a cup #phobia #roach phobia

just had an incredibly fucked up and stressful experience but I think I'm better for it.

#chatter #long story short i found a roach and a lot of things went wrong #but i think the roach is gone now and i will be talking to my therapist about phobia treatment #because i behaved in a way today that was frankly humiliating

#mars mayhem #poll time baby #i personally was the one who screamed at the others for wanting to kill the bug #and then eventually the one who cried because they didn’t let me take the bug outside and killed em #UNLESS IT WAS A ROACH FUCK THAT BURN IN HELL!! #i have a phobia of roaches.

"it's more scared of you than you are of it" clearly not????? Hello do you see me crying my eyes out terrified???

#ratposting #i have a severe phobia of roaches

[vulturevanity]

I have reason to believe that fear of harmless bugs is a social construct

#babbles #it's late I can't elaborate #but basically there are a two ways you develop a phobia: you either go through a very distressing experience about it #or you are taught to fear it by the people around you #think about it: fear is meant to protect you from danger #some fears are instinctually justifiable (like with big animals and fire) #my hypothesis is that the ones that aren't are instead acquired through osmosis #if you are a toddler and you see a bunch of adults scream and run away in fear of this fast flying unpredictable little critter #you subconsciously internalize that the fast flying unpredictable critter is capable of causing you terrible harm #and so even though you grow up and realize there is nothing a roach could do to you barring like #accidentally flying into your eye and scratching your cornea #you still tense up when you see it because it was the behaviour you learned from your caretakers #it's just not gonna hurt you. you're more likely to hurt yourself freaking out

I can understand having a preference for one type of pet over another, for a wide variety of reasons (e.g. allergies, what goes in to taking care of them, your lifestyle, etc) but I'll never understand people who hate a certain type of pet. Like self-professed cat people who say they hate dogs, or vice versa. I've had dogs my entire life, and I consider myself a dog person, but I do like cats, too. Why wouldn't I? They're soft and cute and do funny things sometimes. Even when it comes to pets that I don't find as interesting, like fish, I don't hate them. And even ones I'm legitimately scared of, like tarantulas . . . again, I don't hate them, I'm just afraid of them, just like I'm afraid of all arachnids. It's an irrational fear, but it's one deeply ingrained in me nonetheless.

Anyway.

I just don't understand when people are like "I hate cats" or "I hate dogs" . . . how can you hate an entire species of animal? Being allergic or afraid, okay, I can understand that. Even if I don't understand being afraid because you've been attacked before (I have been severely bitten by dogs and severely scratched up by cats), I'm afraid of arachnids even though I can't remember the last time I had a spider bite, so you know, fears are fears, you can't control them. But hate? I just don't understand it, man. Hate an individual animal, sure. Just like humans, individual dogs or cats can have bad temperaments and behaviors. But a whole species? When most of the individual animals in those species are so easily befriended? It just makes no sense to me. Again, I get having a preference for one pet over another, especially if the needs of one animal suit your lifestyle while the needs of another don't. But to hate a whole species . . . I will never understand.

#again i get phobias or traumas etc #like for instance i have trauma surrounding ants and roaches so if i see even ONE in my house it can trigger a panic attack #but that's a bit different than companion animals too - not that those can't be pets but like. idk. #i mean i DO know it's just . . . it's a little more understandable to me if someone has a problem with insects #versus if they have a problem with companion animals that are meant to be companion animals. but even then it's like #ok. i used to say ''i hate frogs and toads'' which might make me seem a hypocrite #but the truth is that i don't hate REAL frogs and toads. i hate ANIMATED / CARTOON ones #bc when the alt right was using pepe so much years ago my brain linked the two together & so even tho i know pepe's creator renounced them #the sight of him still makes me a little nauseous and it spread toward other frogs #(i also hate Greninja in particular for 1.) being gross and 2.) the behavior of Ash stans but that's another matter) #POINT IS - even with that distinction i never hated a whole species of animal. i just don't get that. even wasps i know DO have a purpose #and i never go out of my way to bother them. in fact i used to work in a house where they had an entire room of the house to themselves #we just didn't mess w/ them. but that's off-topic again #i just. idk. i consider myself a dog person but cats are also great #i just love animals. even the ones i'm afraid of i wish i could like #(and to be fair i do like some i'm healthily afraid of. like i love bears but if i saw a grizzly or polar bear coming for me) #(i would probably piss myself LMAO. i love them from a distance.) #anyway. animals are great. i love animals. more people should give animals a chance to be loved

pray for me I have to remove a dead roach from my tub

#Literally did not shower yesterday bc of it #I was about to. Then by CHANCe i saw it on the wall in the MIRROR #It was on the wall in the shower #I ran and got the raid and sprayed it #It fell and died in je shower but it was all wet from the running water #So I didn’t wanna struggle to sweep it up #While it was WET!!!! But I have to now. 🧍 #It’s all big and gross and scarryyyyyyyy #I have big roach phobia I hate it here #A pro in the possibilities of moving out of florida one day lol #Probably less roaches

[itsoverfeeling]

I don't think liking butterflies is juvenile!!! I also don't think cockroaches are gross. Many are very pretty and we need to accept that.
