Trypanophobia culture is "I used to have that too, have you tried looking away while they do it?"
(Seriously I'm gonna drop a truck on the next person who says this to me)

phobia culture is people not taking your phobia seriously because “haha, why are you scared of butterflies, they’re harmless! : )” I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I HATE YOU. I’ve had people look me in the eyes and tell me ways they’d intentionally trigger my phobia. I’ve had “friends” try to trigger it by looking up images on my school chromebook. Why doesn’t anyone understand how distressing it is??? Like, these people aren’t NEW to phobias, they’re decently respectful of like, needle phobias. Why does the respect just crumble away when someone determines it’s a “silly” phobia?

irrational fear culture is oh. there's a plane. cool! why is it so loud. is it close? it's gonna crash into my house isn't it it's gonna crash into my place and my place only and I'm gonna die without being able to warn anyone ooohhhh cod oh no itss gonna kill me.
oh its gone now. ok then um. I hope nobody saw that
(I hate living not too far from an aerodrome)

Phobia culture is someone having the same phobia but to a lesser extent and expecting you to be able to cope with it as well as they do and getting angry at you when you panic about things that don’t trigger them
!!
phobic culture is encountering your worst phobia at work, having a panic attack, then having to continue your shift because you work for four more hours! and your boss won’t let you leave!
and then coming home and absolutely crashing and waking up hours later completely disoriented
!!
phobia culture is worrying so much about encountering a specific phobia that you have a panic attack without even being in a situation with it :/
