bc some people don’t really get it i’m gonna y’all about how bad my fear of birds is

pretty much can’t walk pat a bird without getting nervous or move away from it, especiallh magpies and crows, there’s some down my street and i literally cross the road to not be on the same side as them

i cant look at photos of birds, it freaks me out and i get really anxious after it

dead birds scare me, idk why but seeing them makes me uncomfortable, and i get shivers

i cant walk under a tree especially if i see a magpie near by. i purposely avoid walking under trees and if i do i duck and speed walk, unless someone is ahead of me and goes under it first

i cant eat outdoors, like at a beach or park bc i’m terrified, if i’m with family i eat small amounts but that’s it, and i don’t even sit i’m standing up and shaking. in queensland we went to this fish and chips shop that is covered in seagulls and bin chickens

and i couldn’t even sit outside on a bench with my family i sat by myself in the car bc of how scared i am

if i see a bird coming near me i make someone scare it away for me bc i just run from it

overall birds just make me super anxious and stressed and a lot of people, even my own family don’t really understand that and are constantly laughing at me when i try to explain it

i just wanted to make this thread bc i feel like a lot of people don’t understand how bad my fear is
