I do that, only I think of Davis from Digimon 02. *Endures the hail of laughter.*

Anyway, I've come up with a personal technique for defeating fear (aside from Davis). I just simply choose not to be afraid. It can take some practice, but after awhile, fear just gets batted away. I first noticed this technique when walking down a flight of stairs with my laptop in my arms. I spotted a flying daddylonglegs (I'm not sure if they have a seperate name, but that's what they look like). Had I proceeded to initiate my usual reaction, I probably would have dropped my laptop. Instead, I just swatted it with my hand and continued on. I'm not sure if this technique'll help, but you never know.
