Get friends or family to start breathing down your neck and touching it . And keep doing this for months . Once you desensitise to it then you might less afraid . May suck at first but it ' s a good way of treating some phobias for some people . <| sep |> I had a chocolate that looked shockingly similar to this on a Cathay Pacific business flight a few months ago .

Cheers mate <| sep |> I used to think as you do , but I think the reason we react in that way is that when most people outside the US says ' I ' m ' they refer to a single concept , namely citizenship or where they live and or grew up . However , as I learned while living there , Americans can refer to two different concepts with the same phrase , the other being descent . Thus even the most patriotic American can say ' I ' m NorwegianGermanSwedish ' etc without it impacting their patriotism . They are not claiming any sort of allegiance to any country they are just saying where their family immigrated from . To outsiders this sometimes sounds a bit offensive , as it sounds like they are claiming a nationality they do not have the right to , while they are only making a claim of descent , which no one would object to .
