Every human being on the face of the earth has likes and dislikes as part of our nature. We are attracted to our likes and repelled by our dislikes. The beautiful part of it is that our likes and dislikes are different based on our personalty, brought up, environment, exposure or even choice. It is interesting how a set of twins may choose different things as likes or dislikes which shows how awesome nature can be. All these shows the power of our emotions.
For me, i have two major fears (also called phobias) over time which are; the fear of the dead also called Necrophobia and also, the fear of seeing horror/terrifying things either in movies or on real sight. For the former, I'm so fearful seeing a dead human being or seeing someone dead which was one of the main reasons i didn't opt for studying medicine as a career. I remembered how i normal don't go for lying-in-states or something related as regards a burial ceremony. I remembered how fearful i was for some days after seeing my grandma died in our house as a young boy then.
In addition, seeing horror/terrifying objects, movies is also a great phobia for meand the more reason i don't watch horror movies nor stand seeing such sights physically. One of my major way of overcoming such is to take my mind off them and not think on them even if i see such. By doing this and in no time, the fear fizzles out. Now, i am not as much fearful as i was when young with these two phobias because i have worked over my mind as regards such.
Another great thing i don't joke with personally is my mental health. My mental health speaks of my well-being emotionally, how I'm faring in my mind etc. I personally don't like to harbour any thought that would disturb my psyche because it can throw me off balance. The more reason i tried to be very selective of what i hear or see because these two are key to maintaining a good mental health. In addition to this, i always tried to relieve myself of stress by having a good workable plan, not allowing any pressure or duress whatsoever either from work, peers or whatsoever.
Also, i tried to avoid unhealthy rivalry, competition or whatever thing that can affect my good decision making. I personally believe that we all as human may face challenges at one time or the other, but we should never get to a point of been overwhelmed and not opening up to someone or seek necessary help from appropriate quarter, health including mental/psychological well being is key to enjoying a good life.
One of my dislikes (not fear this time around) also called pet-peeves is when someone flatulate (fart) around me especially while eating, it is so annoying to me. I dislike both the sound and smell because i believe the person is disturbing my own comfort with his/her own body waste which i believe simple courtesy will demand such to be done decently. Another dislike of me is when people soliloquies especially complaining or murmuring, i believe this is not good enough especially for adults as it doesn't change anything but can even add to it.
In all, phobias are real and same with pet-peeves, but a good management of them is very important. In addition, mental health is key to a good living which mustn't be left to chance, but to be deliberate about because "health is wealth."

anything that disturbs our peace affects our mental health and it's good to lay them aside because our mental health is important to our overall health
