Ashamed to admit it but I'm afraid of moths

Post Reply New Topic

I am doubly a shame because I'm a man I'm 28 years old

Sometime in the past I was afraid more, now a little less, but I still feel this irrational fear, but now it is more irritation than fear, but i still fear of them.

Sometimes I like to be very upset, I take Fly Swatter when hunting for these disgusting moths often call them sluts and b*****s, "f**k out of my house" even though I know it's stupid

I would like to know if any of you feel the fear of moths, or at least some insects, and if so, which one.

I'm afraid of snails and slugs. So far, it hasn't caused any problems, since I'm not required to go near any of them.

I'm afraid of bees. you don't wanna be in a car with me and a bee, take it from me.

Get a badminton racquet.

A pet Gecko will provide you with hours of endless entertainment too.

I'm afraid of the dark, and monsters that don't exist except in movies. But I'm still afraid, like they are out there in the night. I don't get it...

I am not usually afraid of moths, but the other day I swear one was trying to chase me and it freaked me out....not sure why. But I actually ate a couple once after I had been drinking they where flying around annoying me so I said something like 'alright next one that comes by me, I'm eating' and of course some smart a** was like 'I bet you wont actually eat it.' So I grabbed the next one that flew by and ate it, then while they where still shocked that I actually did it I grabbed another one and did the same thing.

I am however afraid of daddy long legs or whatever their technical name is, and today I saw one eating a rolly polly.....lol or whatever their technical names are but the ones that roll up into little balls when threatened. I am also afraid of creepy looking centipedes, some spiders (though I like some spiders like the furry jumping spiders) weird things with long legs, I sleep with an adjustable lamp on a bit because I can get a bit freaked out in the complete dark....and I find the thought of internal parasites scary but I don't see who wouldn't.

I'am afraid of Mothman.

I'm afraid of moths too bur not just moths though...Insects as well (dangerous insects)
I always avoid them...

I am absolutely TERRIFIED of moths, as well as butterflies! Something about their disposition is extremely disturbing to me. Whenever one is near me, I go into hyper-panic mode. You are not alone in your fear!

I'm afraid of insects of any kind, and even moths and butterflies make me uneasy. I have taught my boys (13 and 10) that their job is to kill insects for me and keep them away from me. Severe punishment (well, relatively speaking - I'm a pushover) if they try to tease me with a bug.

what is there to be ashamed about?
people have phobias of everything,its not for anyone else to judge.

mum is in her sixties and has a very severe phobia of moths,she goes absolute mental around them,also had a support staff once who was even worse,she woud get one of us to go in a room and rescue a moth whilst screaming and jumping around.
phobias are real fear,however funny sounding a phobia is its real fear and people shoud remember that.

My daughter is afraid of worms,even earthworms,the most harmless of all creatures.
I was afraid of some bugs when I was a kid.Not anymore,most are really cool when you get over the fear of them.
I think some moths are beautiful,we have Luna moths here.There is a also a big one that visits flowers at night,it looks like a hummingbird.
Cedar and lavender repel the ones that eat woolens,I suppose if you had enough of that in a house it would keep them out.
Some bugs are annoying,ones that bite,sting,and eat the vegetables.
