I'm wondering if phobias and fears should always be cured. Why/why not? Should you always exposure yourself to things because of your own fears? #Phobia #Fears #Afraid

I've a lot of phobias and fears.
Phobias: Dogs, snakes, balls, balloons, astronaut suits, space.
Fears: Losing a loved one, rape, violence (criminals exists), the dark, injuries and blood that looks real in certain contexts. (Not fake stuffs like GoT).

I fear dogs because of I was almost attacked by one when I was 5, but the owner stopped it. Snakes has a disgusting appearance, I've been injured in soccer and balloons makes an awful sound. Space and astronaut phobia were something I got after a scary movie. Don't like horror movies either.

I don't like the look of injuries, dead people or blood either. Crushed and disfigured faces are the worst. E. g. Paul Walker, but way worse. Yes, traffic teachers will show you stuffs like that. If I watch a movie or real pictures of it I've trouble sleeping. I've no problem with fake looking stuffs in "kids" shows like GoT (Red wedding, Arya Stark + Meryn Trant), but real looking stuffs like in Gravity (2013), documentaries and pictures from the news makes me go crazy. Pictures of war victims, injured car accident victims etc. can make me sleepless for days. People saying GoT is bloody hasn't seen the real stuffs. Most beheading, hanging and other execution scenes in movies looks fake. Especially in the medieval ones and these ones that aren't horror movies or real pictures.
