I don't think I have any actual phobias. I don't want to call a normal fear a phobia. There are people who are immature and unable to control their temper, but they call themselves bipolar to justify it. There's no diagnosis, they're just shitty people. A person who actually suffers from being bipolar has to deal with a lot in their lives and they struggle immensely. Same thing. I'm afraid of heights, but I still manage to get up there and sit down and enjoy the view. Won't call it a phobia. I'm afraid of gross bugs. So much. But! If a chick at work asks me to kill one, all of a sudden I'm brave as fuck. Yeah, no phobia there. I hate pickles. The smell, the texture, the taste. I don't even like looking at them. Yet, I hand em over to my pickle loving son anytime. So, no phobias. I'm just an easily scared lady who sucks it up and goes on with her life. I can't imagine what people with actual phobias deal with. It must be tough. I'd love to hear from their angle what it's like to live with a phobia.
