Overreacting friend

[tttaylorrr]

I'm afraid of babies. I get panic attacks whenever I hear them cry or see them, they legit freak me out to the point I sometimes can't breathe and have to lock myself in some secluded room.

totally off topic but i'm so happy to hear someone speak about their fear of babies...babies literally scare me and idk why. i never even touched my baby cousins until they could walk. IDK WHERE THIS COMES FROM.

OMG I'M NOT ALONE THANK YOU I THOUGHT I WAS BROKEN

It's hard for me to understand why either, but something about seeing them and especially hearing them sets off internal survival alarms like something or someone is going to break and OMG WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE

I guess I can't really relate to any of this because I am literally afraid of no animals (or babies lol), except for a healthy amount of caution around venomous animals and giant (15ft+) pythons, I am a relatively small person so venom and/or giant animals could overpower me easily haha.

I definitely used to be afraid of spiders, but what fixed it for me was the fact that these (and a lot of other) animals really really aren't thinking about hurting you, in fact, they are most definitely more afraid of you than you are of them. This is what causes any animal to bite, unless of course you are being hunted down by a mountain lion or the like .

I wish more people could understand that animals have no desire to hurt them, heck, I don't even think animal are self-aware, so how could they "feel like" hurting you?

Funny story, today I was in class and suddenly a spider began to lower itself in front of my face. I simply broke the string it was attached to and put it on the floor without telling my classmates lol

Lucky spider!
They fascinate me but still can't seem to be calm when I see a bigger one on me. The unpredictable - will it run fast, go in my shirt, what if I kill him trying to get him off, what if... That just does it for me.. I would like to be free of that silly fear. I managed to hold a emperor scorpions a few times in my hands dough and madagascar baby roaches - baby ones. Maybe it's the size of a bug...
When I see a snake I just want to hold it in my hands to see her better, how it acts.. unless its poisonous...or heavier than me than I just stare
