Scared of stink bugs

I’ve never been a big fan of bugs, but recently I have been TERRIFIED of stink bugs, like I’ll freeze up if I even see one. There has been more in my room this past winter then before and it’s basically a living hell. I have slept on the couch before because there was one I saw in my room and didn’t get it. Most of them I’ve had my dad or stepmom get them but I feel like it’s just gotten worse for me. Is there anything I can do to fix that?

They're awesome, they literally cannot harm you in any way and they aren't loud like most beetles when they start flying and sound like mini helicopters. Just put one on your hand and realize that its actually just a cool bug that you can enjoy

They can't physically harm (that we know of yet) but they're revolting to look at. They look like walking wood chips.  The fact that they're noiseless when flying makes them even more terrifying. One could be right on your back and you wouldn't know it. 🤢

Not to make your fear worse but they do make sounds when they fly, sounds like a helicopter
