As a kid, I had a phobia of spiders – especially daddy-long-legs. I was often terrified when my family went tent camping. Daddy-long-legs loved hiding from the rain on top of the tent under the rain fly, and I would wake up face-to-face with them.

As I grew older, I would intentionally stare straight at daddy-long-legs whenever I saw them. Slowly, and my fear of the harmless bugs lessened. Do you have any phobias that you overcame? How did you do it? Comment to let me know!
