Crickets. Similar to other insects, they look extremely odd up close, like aliens. They used to really freak me out. I would about pee myself every time one of them jumped at me. I mean, can you blame me? They’re terrifying in a non-threatening sort of way. This fear was particularly detrimental because crickets could be found in abundance in the basement of my house, which is where my bedroom is located. Over the last year or so, I have seen more crickets than the rest of my life combined. Some days I’d walk out of my room and there would be 7 crickets in the hallway outside my door, which made it very difficult to get through. However, the constant exposure to the creepy critters has dulled my sensitivity to their sudden hopping. Although I’m still somewhat afraid of them, my current fear of crickets is nothing compared to its peak.
