Overreacting friend

[tttaylorrr]

I was just wondering can fear be so big..or im missing something?..
Am I a bad friend for not understanding her..

I gave myself an example - im really afraid of all bugs, but I got over most of that fear because I love n like to take care of lizards, feed and pamper them. So I handle hundreds of crickets daily, breed them, clean them.. roaches also..was terrified but I managed cause I care.
Can't she get over one little snake with not even having to hold it or look at it cause she cares?. .
I know I just have to let it go and... Go to her place or out.. But It just bugs me u know

fear can absolutely be that big. i used to send snapchats of my snakes to people until one of my friends told me to stop in a less-than-polite way. an unexpected picture of a snake caused him to get mad at me! idk if it was a phobia or ignorance, but one can be helped while the other cannot.

when i'm scared of something, i try and learn all that i can so i can better understand myself and the source to either prove my fears correct or just learn something new.

there's a difference between a phobia and a fear derived from willful ignorance. she's purposefully choosing ignorance over hanging out with you at your place.

honestly there's the possibility she doesn't even understand how much her behavior affects you. people get so wrapped up in their own minds and beliefs they have a hard time understanding how others can feel differently, or how their attitudes about those things affect others.

she sounds willfully ignorant.
