Wow, I'm really surprised by this, I would have said it would be spiders!
I mean some countries have some poisonous ones, so a very valid reason to not like them!
Maybe it's because I live in the UK and we don't have cockroaches, so I'm oblivious to the fear of them.
I've wondered about fears, spiders in particular. So many people are afraid and where does this come from? Seems like it is in our DNA or some mind matrix that gets passed through the generations!
Very informative about all the good that cockroaches do. I still hope I don't encounter one when on holiday! :)
If you google for top 10 most feared insects, the spider is always there and the cockroach barely shows up. I made the mistake of making this statement based on 1 BBC article, thank you for pointing it out.
Studies about the fears point indeed to something that is passed through generations, it precedes all reasoning, some comments above point that out nicely, the one from @szuri turns a smile on my face every time i see it ("I just scream like there is no tomorrow when I see them"). Thank you for nice comment @michellecarter and nice to meet you!
Thanks for your reply. That's interesting as I commented on what I instantly felt! I was feeling 'no spiders have to be more feared!' Well we know not to trust the BBC! They've gone done in my opinion over the years. Being English, I used to think they were great!
Yes fears are totally beyond reasoning, we react way before the logic has a chance to do anything and once the fear has been set off then logic is not going to work! I do energy work and releasing fears is amongst the hardest to do!
Nice to meet you too @bubke! :)
