i found myself really scared by worms, in spring, especially after it rains, i see so many worms all over the side walk that i screamed all the way. then finally i learned to not to look down. i walk straight without looking at the path then i walk and walk and i feel a little better.
not only worms, im afraid of anything that's alife and are soft and without bones and are sticky and looked disgusting...
i feel so fustrated by the side walk,,,

and the other time i was going to have a race and it was a really serious race, right before i started i saw a really big and long worm on the track and i almost fainted, everybody jumped back. but there were a really brave girl that wasn't afraid of worms helped to pick the worm up from the ground, then we started the race. i cant imagine what would have happened if i see the big worm on track DURING the race, i might jump and lost all my energies...
i really hate worms, i tried to not to hate them, even like them, but i found that i really couldn't...i am distracted by the worms and i really dont like that...

    You just have a phobia. They're small animals that can do no harm to you. Think how weak, slow and unintelligent they are. It's irrational to be afraid of them.

    Just don't hurt them because that's not justifiable. It's like having a phobia of dogs and kicking a dog to death because you're frightened. Your method of just focusing on walking straight ahead and not looking at them seems like the most sensible way to cope.

    Yes, it is quite a common phobia and it is normal. Evolution has programmed us to be afraid of worms because many of them are harmful parasites for human. Fear of worms is one of the things that helped our ancestors to survive, and your fear of worms will help your survival, too.
