I encountered some snakes and I am terrified, disgusted at their sight even online. Some make rituals from childhood to get over those emotions. Some do some don't ig.

I get being terrified, but why are you disgusted by snakes?

It's just wide range of emotions I feel wheneverI see them. I guess we don't need reasoning for emotions.

Anything that crawls or slithers triggers a feeling of disgust in me. For example, I’m not scared of earthworms but I can’t look at them either in real life or on a screen because I find the way they move extremely disgusting.

And for snakes, I’m both deadly afraid and disgusted at the same time.
