Both men and women experience phobia, either the mild or the severe type. Even though I understand that some of my fears are not logical, I try to avoid those things I am afraid of. Some years ago, I experienced aerophobia, which is the fear of flying on a plane, and so, I didn't mind taking a very long road trip due to such a non-logical fear, but gradually I overcame the fear and had a great experience with my first flight trip.
However, the fear of seeing a ghost physically has been dealing with me for a long time, which is another reason why I stopped watching certain movies. You won't believe that, as big as I am, I fear coming out at night, and each time I have any reason to come out, maybe to pack clothes outside due to rain, fear will engross me, and any little object I see, I will feel that it's a ghost. Most times, it causes my heart to beat fast and turn my whole body system upside down. I think this particular phobia has drastically reduced since I started avoiding movies that put me in that mood.
About our mental health, it's crucial to guide our minds jealously. Mental health is essential to our overall health and quality of life, so I try not to keep some thoughts that could trouble my mind. I have realized that we can't fight over everything or control some things, but we can allow things to flow naturally without torturing our minds. When I experienced mind torture and overthinking in certain situations, I was totally down and couldn't be useful to myself. I have learned to overlook certain things, guide my sanity, filter what I want to hear, and also not allow myself to feel overwhelmed by anything.
Talking about pet peeves, we are all humans with imperfections; however, there are some things that I personally find annoying.Everyone has a list of things others do that get them annoyed in most cases, and likewise, they too have their own habit that annoys others. Really, I would love someone to tell me some of my habits that annoy him, or perhaps he finds them disgusting. But then take a look at mine below 👇
I am the type that hates to see a trace of soap suds on the wall of the bathroom. Like, must you splash soap everywhere while bathing? Why not bathe gently or use a small bowl to pour water on your body? Okay, even if you don't like using a smaller bowl, after splashing soap suds everywhere, do well to use water to clean it up. Really, if I had my way, I wouldn't be using the bathroom with anyone. It's just so annoying that people can't check where they bathe and keep it clean for the next person to enter. This experience was worst when I lived in a school hostel. I hate to remember those experiences because it's simply annoying and difficult to control adults behavior.
My second pet peeve is having people who jam talk. It's difficult to have a smooth conversation with this kind of person. Unfortunately, I have two of my friends who talk too much and sometimes reveal people's secrets due to their talkative nature. The most annoying part is that they don't even have a listening ear. They just talk and talk without even taking a breath to hear my own view. Funny enough, they talk irrelevant things most of the time. Why not calm down, process the information you received, and give quality feedback? You wouldn't die if you didn't talk, lol, or if you kept quiet to think before talking; it's just annoying personally. There should be a limit to everything. When you over talk, sometimes you may end up saying words that would lead to regret. Unfortunately, spoken words cannot be retrieved.
Then, if you want to eat or drink water, please, those percussions from your mouth or the unnecessary sound from your throat are uncalled for. That's kind of annoying, those irrelevant sounds because you are drinking ordinary water? You can simply drink water gently without opening the whole of your throat to make noise and chew your food in peace without those gaw gaw, chaw chaw, lolz. These are few of my pet peeves.
