**Insects: Nature's Little Nightmares That I Absolutely Can’t Deal With**

So, insects. You love 'em? Hate 'em? Or are you like me—completely incapable of functioning in their presence? If you're one of those people who can just... exist around bugs, without even flinching, please tell me your secrets because I clearly missed that gene.

See, I don’t just *dislike* insects—I’m convinced they were put on this Earth specifically to make my life a living hell.

I can’t *stand* them. They freak me out, creep me out, and straight up give me the heebie-jeebies

The buzzing, the crawling, the tiny little legs that look like they’ve got *plans*... Just, no. Hard pass. The very sight of a bug sends me straight into survival mode—fight or flight, but mostly flight. and guess what? The *only* The thing I’m fighting is the urge to stay conscious while I sprint into another zip code.

Naturally, you’d assume that if I spotted an insect, I’d scream like a banshee and sprint in the opposite direction, right? Well, yes. But also no. Because if I *don’t* know it’s a bug, I might accidentally *pick it up*.
