Specific phobia - Animal types - Cockroach

There are several types of phobia in this world. Phobia that I have was Katsaridaphobia. This phobia means that you are fear to a cockroach.

Cockroach is an unhealthy animal. I would feel uncomfortable if I see cockroach crawling. I hate cockroach because I thought it would bite my legs but after I done some research, I found that cockroach will eat human flash of both living and the dead. Currently, I was brave enough to kill the cockroach when it is small but when it is big I will just run away because it will fly and bite me.

Animal types - Frog

Ranidaphobia is the phobia that I have. This phobia is the morbid and irrational fear of frog and it is not to be confused with the fear of toads, Bufonophobia. When I am studied in primary school, there had a frog inside my school bag and follow me went to school. At that time, I totally do not know there had a frog in my bag, so from that time I am fear of frog. I will try to look more pictures or real frog, and try to imagine that the frog is cute like a dog so that I can overcome this phobia.

Situational types - The fear of darkness

Nyctophobia is one of the most common phobia in the world which means the fear of darkness. I was having this phobia since childhood because of the horror movie. After that, darkness had been considered as dangerous to me.

For me, the light is compulsive needed during night and I have to sleep with a nightlight. Driving at night also is a hard task for me especially is a rainy night because I would feel nervous and anxiety. Currently, I try to sleep without nightlight and I will do deep breathing and mind visualization when I have to staying dark instead of running away from the situation.

Social Phobia - The fear of public speaking

Fearing of public speaking is one of the phobias I have in my life. Glossophobia is the scientific term designated to a severe fear of public speaking and discovered that their mouth dries up, voice become feeble and the body begin shaking. Those symptoms I have possessed assuredly. I may even sweat and felt the heart palpitating rapidly.

However, I began to realize that I should not be afraid of public speaking when I was appointed as chief invigilator during high school. This is due to give a speech during the gathering is one of the tasks entrusted and I have to give a speech in front of all the teachers and pupils. As time goes by, I have overcome successfully and now I’m not afraid stand in front of audience.

In conclusion, we have to face our phobias in order to move forward. If we do not face it properly, we will not get the things we want because the things we want always come with fear.
