Hello, dear members of this great community. Greetings to all of you on this day. Today I'm inspired to tell you about my phobia and how I've lived with and overcome it. My phobia is the fear of toads and frogs.

I don't know exactly why I'm afraid of them, but I assure you, if I come across a toad or a frog, I run away! The strangest thing is that these little creatures seem to chase me. I remember one time I was washing dishes and, as I was about to serve the food, I took a plate from the silverware and, guess what! A frog was stuck to the plate. That gave me a huge feeling of horror; it was truly horrible. Luckily, my mom isn't afraid of them and touches them with her hand.
Another time, there was a toad in the bathroom, and I desperately needed to get in. I had to wake my mom to get it out. There was a frog in the toilet tank, and another frog by the door. Outside, a toad was in the middle of the sidewalk. If I tell you all the times I've come face to face with these little creatures, I don't think I'll ever finish.
Now you might be wondering why there was a toad in the bathroom and the kitchen. Well, the doors in the house have gaps where even a small dog can get in, and our house is located in a place where there are lots of plants and soil. We live surrounded by nature, so there's more nature than home. You wouldn't believe I once counted about eight toads inside the house, in the bedrooms and the bathroom
I've had so many experiences with these little critters that, on a few occasions, I've used a broom to push them away. Once, I managed to get one out of the house by placing a bucket of water over it and rolling it to the door, where I let it out. I've had to summon up a lot of courage to walk past these animals, always thinking that one might jump on me. I hope that never happens to me, because I definitely wouldn't want it.
Just today I was watching a TikTok video about an experiment being performed on babies, and it was about the type of mindset they have. In the video, they showed him various animals, such as a dog, a mouse, and others. At first, the baby didn't seem affected by this discovery. However, the moment the baby showed interest in these little animals, they made such a loud sound that it frightened him, causing the baby to cry inconsolably. It made me think that perhaps these types of experiences could leave a deep mark, and it's possible that the baby is left with some kind of trauma. This led me to reflect on whether our phobias, fears, or traumas could be related to an event that left a mark on us, even if we don't consciously remember it. It's just a personal reflection, but I find it interesting to consider how our childhood experiences can influence our current fears.
Our experiences, especially during childhood, can shape our behavior and emotions in ways we sometimes don't fully understand. Phobias and fears can arise from situations that impacted us, even if we don't clearly remember them. It's important to recognize these feelings and find ways to confront them, because by understanding their origin, we can begin to heal them. I still have a phobia of toads and frogs, but I carry that internal struggle with me. Sometimes I don't want to feel such a great fear of these little animals because the truth is they are defenseless and it's not their fault that they are so scary. I thank you all for having accompanied me, I hope to share something new with you again soon. 👋
