Pro tip: if you are having a hard time feeling less panic around bugs: name them! Just refer to them by a name. They will not be bothered if you mix them up, and it helps a LOT for learning a more measured and rational response to their presence.
"Oh that spider in the corner? That's Gerald"
People almost never believe me that this works, then they try it and are shocked at its impact over a relatively short span of time.

PS: this is a tip to help people with a fear of bugs become more neutral towards them, not a space for snarky comments or bug hate! if you don't think this would work for you, keep scrolling!
