I'm afraid of insects - what should I do?

Question:

I know I can't be the only one who is afraid of insects (bugs, daddy long legs, SPIDERS, etc) but all of my friends seem to be ok dealing with these creepy creatures. I feel like the odd one out all the time. The worst part is that I'm quite bad as I scream every time I see insects, regardless to where I am - indoors or outside doing the shopping and all that.

Does anyone know any technics to tackle this phobia?
Much apppreciated.

Answers:
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a slightly odd looking, but extremely effective tool for dealing with all kinds of anxieties and phobias. You can look on YouTube and see it done, and download a free manual from the site I list below. Also, I can teach you how to do this it is quite simple but for this kind of thing you can probably do it for yourself.

You should face your fear head on. daddy long legs wont hurt you!
not many people LIKE bugs but they dont hate them like you do.
let an ant crawl on you? haha Idk

Face your fears

go to a therapist or ignore bugs. :) well i used to be. stay away from them but if u see one go somewhere elsewhere. if they are inside ur house get pes control

you need to see a therapist to help you deal with this real phobia
