Is it normal to get shivers at the sight of bugs and insects?

Question

I'm not all together sure if this is normal.

If I see a spider close to me, I just jump. It's irrational, I know, but I can't help it. Perhaps it's due to my unknowings of spiders.

When I see a bunch of wasps eating jam, or a maggot crawling on an old copy book, I truly get a sharp jolt running down my spine..

Is this normal?

Answer 1

It may not be normal to get shivers at the sight of bugs and insects, but it may be unconsciously associated with experiences and traumas of past painful effects and stories.

A spider may be a beautiful creature, and a useful or friendly one that may catch, enshroud in its web and thus feast for food on some of the obnoxious flies around you.

You might try and decide to carefully prudently study spiders. Most of the domestic ones may be more afraid of you than you are afraid of them. You will see that, how they will escape, when you try and approach them.

Wasps may be fiercely aggressive, and you must try and ascertain whether you are seriously allergic to their very painful poison. If you keep calm when they fly around you, they will not aggressively react against you. In any case it will be a good idea of you to stay more safely away from them.

In a book about adventure in the wilderness I have read that you may cook and eat bugs, even scorpions if you remove their poisonous parts, for your own survival.

It may be possible to overcome many forms of phobias by trying and getting more familiar with what those phobias are about, in the sense here that a more glowing knowledge may take away or mitigate most of your own fears about insects and bugs.

Answer 2

sure. we're all scared of stuff, some people more than others.
