How do I get over my fear of wasps?

How do I get over my paralyzing fear of bee/wasps?

  • I need to do some work in my yard this year, but I can't get over this thing. I'm not even allergic, I don't thing that I was stung by one as a child, and ever time one comes near me or I hear a buzzing noise I freak out. Usually I just run back inside, but when I try to go back out and I know that they are there, I can't do anything.

  • Answer:

    I went through this in, like, second grade. Chances are you will never completely get rid of your fear, but you can reduce it from paralyzing to normal. Really you just have to accept that they are there, and accept that they are not going to hurt you unless you try to hurt them. Just leave them alone. And instead of looking for them, try to ignore them. It will be hard at first, but over time it won't be as bad.

Tell yourself that they are far more scared of the giant (you) than they are of you and that you have capacity to kill them adn they don't have that ability to you. Once you have kids to protect it changes because you can't abandon your baby for a buzzy and you need to protect them. Slowly remain with them for a few seconds, then a few more secs then a minute. They don't usually want to harm you, well at least bees don't as they die if they sting you and will only do so if very trapped and scared. Another thing you can do is get a book at the library and read about them so you understand them better. Finally if all else fails get therapy. Either EMDR (for PTSD but works on panic/phobia as well) or hypnosis.

maybe a next time a bee or something comes near you, just hold your breath, stay very still, and do your best to control your impulse to run. Eventually, the fear should go away.
