I actually am scared of apologies because one time this kid accedently pushed me over and said "sorry" and i ssaid dont apologise or ill beat u up, thinking i was joking he said im sorry and knocked all 5 of his adult teeth out
the guy in the grey is actually my worst nightmare bc, as someone who's afraid of needles, it's so fucking annoying when people try to rationalise my OWN FEAR away. They never understand what it is I'm afraid of and try to cure me by saying some shit I've been thinking for years like they're the first ones to think it.
That's kinda like me with my fear of bees. People keep saying to me that they're more scared of me than the other way around. I was stung by a bee one time only, and it was on my earlobe, and I hated it. Even after being put into a safe haven (since there was a swarm of bees, even though it was nighttime, someone who even knows I'm scared of bees pissed off an entire hive), I was in hysterics. I just could not stop crying. I'm a grown-ass man today, and I'm STILL terrified of bees.
The whole thing about phobias is that they’re usually irrational. I have a phobia of clubbed nails and I know it’s not rational but that doesn’t make it go away.
@@everyonesfavoritecaptain335 yeah but he wasn't respecting that people were scared or grossed out by the things and he was laughing at the girl who was grossed out by vomit
the emetophobia part actually made feel really bad for the poor girl, grey shirt guy just completely invalidated her fear. as someone who has emetophobia myself and has been told how irrational and stupid i am for being scared of vomit by my own mother, i would probably start tearing up.🙁
I didn't want to believe that woman actually threw up, but then they showed it 😭 but that guy was making me so mad, as someone who's emetophobia was made worse by people constantly invalidating my fear or not trying to understand it
The guy in the jeans and overall shirt was so sweet and respectful in this video! He never over stepped there boundaries or made them feel embarrassed by it! He was definitely my favorite pick in this vid!
I don't like how few people think they can logically "cure" a phobia. "It's not doing anything to you" "just chilling there" They forget a phobia itself is IRRATIONAL
That big dude had no respect for boundaries. Like yes, there is exposure therapy, but that's a consensual gradual process to decrease the stress responses. It can take years of work & doesn't guarantee a cure. You can't stick a spider on someone's arm & say don't be scared. I felt so bad for those people.
I'm extremely scared of rats once i was walking by the Disney store rigth when ratatouille came out and they had this huge rat plush doll (?) outside, OMG I started to freak out in the middle of the mall. It was horrible.
Grey shirt guy is the type of dude to say, "Well just stop being anxious" because that's literally what hes doing. Lack of complete empathy doesn't make you the right support network.
"Climacophobia, or the fear of the act of climbing, is a relatively unusual phobia. It is known as a specific phobia, just like acrophobia, a fear of heights, as well as bathmophobia, a fear of stairs and slopes." Source: www.verywellmind.com/climacophobia-2671852
Exactly idk how she stayed so calm, I would litteraly be as far as I possibly can as soon as I see the bucket Probably having a panic attack crying and covering my ear in the opposite corner of the room at best, at worst derealizing completely and not coming back until weeks later haha :'|
As a person with emetophobia, getting laughed at and people dismissing it, is very common and very frustrating. Phobias can’t always be “cured.” They can be managed and worked on but it’s very hard for the individual going through it. It may seem ridiculous and funny to people like the guy in the grey shirt, but it’s very intense and real for people who have this phobia. Just bc you don’t experience the phobia doesn’t make it less scary for the person with the fear.
I also have it and agree completely. The whole 'face your fears' thing is a bit different when it's not just a fear and is a full-on phobia. People keep talking about the guy in the grey shirt and saying he is trying to get them to overcome it, but I think when it's a phobia, a therapist needs to be the one to help them with the exposure and response prevention because there are steps and things you have to do to do it safely and effectively.
Omg same I have it to and it gets in the way of things, for example long bus journeys as someone might throw up and I get terrified. But, I just can’t seem to get rid of it and I have had it for my whole life so far.
I have it as well , and was sick everyday of my pregnancy, another reason I had another fear of pregnancy and I cried and shook before i went to sleep because i knew as soon as my eyes opened I would puke in the morning. And when it happened i would also be crying and shaking. It’s not something someone can just get over.
the grey shirt guy seriously pushed some boundaries cuz like these are genuine phobias which some seemed severe. honestly he seems like the guy that i would want to be around the least. some people just don’t get wha5 a boundary is and when to stop joking around. some things are feared for reasons that may not understand, but that doesn’t mean you should make that worse.
Grey shirt triggered so much dad trauma from my childhood lmfao he fs acts just like my stepdad used to when he “didn’t believe in mental illness” and thought you could just will power in or out of anything in life if you really wanted to, same with phobias.
@@simonmurray1557 im not regarding the fear itself, im regarding the people and his approach. Bruh half these people stem their fears from trauma. Not handled correctly can have worse effects.
The dude asking the girl to touch the vomit was crazy. even if you don’t have a phobia of vomit, that would still be disgusting since it went through that girl’s mouth.
My sister has a fear of vomiting and the guy who was mocking that girl with the same fear made my blood boil cause I'm super overprotective of my sister.
Hibah Hussain I have emetophobia too. I thought it was rude when the guy in the grey shirt laughed at her for saying vomit is gross. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t think vomit is gross.
@Hibah Hussain same. I can't even bear it when they say it, I'll burst into tears 😑 Most of the rlly insensitive boys in my class would do those noises to annoy me, I would usually kick them in the balls! I usually do that to boys who annoy me tho ;-;
Hibah Hussain I have too. Nobody believes me tho.they just say nobody likes being sick and I’m like. You don’t shake or have a panic attack when you are or it do you?
Phobia is something that only the individual can overcome no one is telling them to overcome it in one day but you have to make progress and start somewhere. Even the lady in the video said she avoids her phobia and doesn’t care. The longer you wait, the harder it is. It’s the same with drug addiction, depression, social anxiety, etc .
@@praneethmashetty591 It's never that simple. I'm afraid of spiders, even though I know it won't bite me unless provoked and they have horrible eyesight. Be this as it may, I still have a fear of spiders.
my mom is just like that grey shirt guy....she is always like "its just a clown, it's just a person like you" and then me just NO MOM YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT'S NOT THAT EASY
Everyone's here talking about grey shirt guy, but somehow were all overlooking the fact that somebodys sole purpose in this video was to appear and puke on command 👁️👁️
The man behind the camera: “ So you’re going to be guessing peoples phobias.” Crystal: “Oh..well do I have to experience it??” The man behind the camera: “ Yeah.” Crystal: “ But what if I have one of those phobias!?” The man behind the camera: “𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐡.”
The phobia of cotton seems actually more like a sensory sensitivity thing to me. Like I’m not afraid of cotton balls, and I use them, but I totally get that “my teeth hurt” thing from other sounds/sensations, and every time I’ve experienced that feeling it was sensory sensitivity. Which is connected with ADHD and Autism, so it truly cannot be “cured”. When grey shirt guy said to her about she prefers to avoid things rather than face them head on, it brought back so many memories of people telling me to just “act normal” as if I could just re-write how my brain works and my DNA through sheer willpower. I understand he’s coming from a place of trying to help but damn that gave me some flashbacks
Idk if everyone read the book, but theirs this book callled “guts” by Raina telgemeir, it’s an amazing book! It talks all about it, and how she felt and how she coped with it.
Pujita Jain yes! I have read the book and I enjoyed it greatly. I find it comforting that other people have the fear and went through the same thing as I am
Sophina7 not really, he is more of a type of person to help with it the other guy would never touch a spider but he helped him, the girl climbed the ladder he was the only one that helped them
The last time I had to “face my phobia” I had an actual panic attack. Props to these guys, I would have embarrassed myself so bad if I was in this video
I understand the emetophobia so much. It’s terrfiying to me. I do not think people understand how horrible this fear can be. It stops me from going out, and doing anything were v* could be the outcome. I will have full-blown panick attacks and when the grey shirt guy undermined the phobia i was upset.
