What is a phobia?
Phobias are persistent and intense fears of a particular:
object
person (like a doctor or clown)
situation
activity
If you have a phobia, you may experience severe anxiety and panic attacks when you’re:
exposed to the object or situation you’re fearful of
thinking about the thing you’re afraid of
anticipating an encounter with the item you’re scared of
Sand fleas aka mole crabs are a no-go?
Had no idea what they were so I had to look it up and now I hate you.
Why would it ever be a yes-go?
Sorry, I didn’t show you for that reason. I was just curious how you felt about tiny ones.
No. All bugs are scary and vomit inducing. And those fuckers are definitely worthy of the title “sea bug”.
Spiders are strangely enough kind of okay as long as they are hairy. Spiders without wigs are scary.
Shellfish of all kinds are scary and vomit inducing unless they are cooked and the meat is served without the shells.
I have been brave enough to actually try to work with my phobia by stopping and looking in the seafood section at the store. Some times if I’m brave enough I will try to touch a crab if it’s packaged.
