Spiders.
They're such amazing creatures.
I know, still hate them
Fire eating. It's super dangerous so there's a lot of safety protocol you must follow. But when it comes time to actually do it, most of the difficulty is psychological
(I'm an instructor)
Maybe I'm in the minority but I still think inhaling wrong and being covered in fire inside and outside is scary.
Hang Gliding! It's really chill. So many students are on edge when they're about to do their first flight, but I always hear happy sounds as they fly off and they're in a great mood when they finally land.
I wonder if their great mood is as much about the (successful) landing as much as it is about the glide?
That is definitely a factor, but we gopro everyone's flights and nearly everyone giggling and smiling the whole time
making phone calls (yes this is calling myself out too)
Trees
Treephobia is a thing now? 🤔
no joke, I have root-phobia. It's weird.
Seeing plant roots or imagining touching them gives me shudders.
I have no problem with carrots or potatoes, funnily enough (although the latter is turning into phobia territory if they are starting to bud)
My suspicion on how I got it: As a small kid (3 or so years old) I remember having some nightmares about tree roots grabbing me by my feet. Must have wired some things in my brain in a weird way
This can’t be real
it sure is. brains are weird
