Why do so many people have phobias?

[Oxylepy]

Have you ever had a big black bumblebee land on you?

I chase after them trying to catch them gently. I also have not told people before when they had bees in their shoes. Probably saved them from getting stun, too, since any motion may have provoked the bee and the first reaction of people is to freak out.

I mean I hate a lot of things, like these big yellow beetles that are a plague in Pittsburgh right now, and all the spiders in my community (everything with an angle on it has a spider web or... 12... In fact the other day I saw some webs all along the power lines on the way to the store.

As for the "natural" phobias, that's part of the whole growing up thing, you should be able to have control over your own mind.
