Okay so I've been scared of moths for a while now. Probably since I was like 5 or 6 maybe before that I don't know. I'm 22 now and I'm still really scared of them.

When I mean scared I mean scared! Little ones I don't mind so much but I hate those massive ones! If there's one in the house I'll scream and run to a different room and sometimes I get little panic attacks where I breathe heavily.

If there's a moth in my room at night. I can't sleep so I go to sleep downstairs or I get my dad to get it out.

My family all think I'm nuts but surely there's someone out there who's like me?

    Right now i was scared out of my room at 3:40am by a moth :( i am terrified, my stomach hurts, and i was shaking, every noise or movement i heard or saw while in my room with it just staying on the wall scared me badly, and when it slowly moved its wings i really lost it, turned off my lights an ran downstairs into the kitchen

      Yup! That definitely sounds familiar to me! Do you have bug spray? Spray it and hopefully it'll die. It takes forever for moths to die after you spray them though. It's really annoying.

    it's more normal to be scared of moths, rather than people on the Maury show being afraid of cotton, and pickles.

    Hahahahahahahahaha! I'm exactly the same! Luckily there aren't so many big moths like that around where I live, but when I went on a holiday when I was young to a place that DID have massive moths like birds...yup, I seemed nuts.

    Even the smaller moths freak me out. I've never been too fond of awkwardly airborne, insect creatures. Some of them are pretty, but when they flap around, I don't like it.

      Thank god! I'm not the only one who's scared of them like that. There aren't too many big ones near me either but we sometimes get the odd one and I hate them!

    My brothers terrified of them and he trys to hide it, but we all know. I think it relates back to when a grasshopper landed on his t-shirt when he was little. whenever i find a moth i put them in his bedroom.

      That's not very nice to put moths in his room. My sisters always threaten to do that but they never have. They know if they do then they'll never hear the end of it lol!

      Putting a moth inside your brother's room will just make the phobia worse because he'll get paranoid about them. Thank goodness you're not my sibling lol!
