It's a shame when people are so judgemental.

A lot might mock you and say they don't have any phobias but I bet
if you quizzed them they would maybe run a mile from a bee or
wouldn't go in a lift or cry in a thunderstorm or something.

If anyone mocked me I think I would ask them if they could pick up a
spider, or go parachuting or give a talk to a room full of
strangers - all things I can or have done that a lot of people may
not be able to.

I think we all have fears but we all have strengths too and
sometimes we should emphasise our strengths :-)
