My Extreme Animal Phobia

[mcantar18c]

What the hell are you guys talking about? You don't believe that there is such a thing as a phobia?

Such thing as a phobia? Sure. A phobia that can't be overcome? No.
I don't believe there's anything that can't be overcome with enough willpower and determination.
If I was scared chitless of butterflies (believe it or not I know a gal who is), I would feel like a complete pussy and would do everything I could to overcome that fear and eventually, I would no longer be scared of them.
Instead of the Adapt and Overcome attitude, our society has taken the "its ok/good to be different" crap to extremes and come to nurture characteristics that are very far out of the norm... things like having a phobia of puppies, a boy that wants to be a girl and join the girl scouts, and other things I won't mention because it would completely derail the thread.

If you had actually watched the show that the thread is about, you would have known that everyone in the episode over comes their phobia. That's the entire point of the show in fact. Not just highlighting people's phobias.

That's not at all the point of this thread though. It is that I didn't find any of the people believable and thought they were all actors.
