Cope With an Irrational Fear of Tin Foil

You never realize how prevalent tin foil is in today's world until you somehow find yourself terrified of it. People may point and laugh at you, but the fear is real, and so is the pain of dealing with a tin foil phobia.

Steps

 * 1)  Define your fear. What is it that makes you so terrified of tin foil? Is it its silvery viciousness? The diabolical metallic crinkly noise it makes when one manipulates it? Is it the mere idea of accidentally biting into this sheet of malevolence commonly used in food preparation?
 * 2)  Look at pictures of tin foil all day long. After you view each picture of tin foil reward yourself in a special way, like special one-on-one "me time" or a piece of chocolate (not the foil-wrapped kind).
 * 3)  Find a close family member or friend to make crinkly noises with foil next to your ear. Make sure that they will be supportive and understanding of you if you happen to have a nervous breakdown.
 * 4)  When you're ready, have your support person get out a sheet of tin foil and lay it in front of you. Take a deep breath and touch it nice and slow-like. Pet it like a gentle kitten. Imagine it's just a cute cuddly kitten.
 * 5)  Touch the tin foil gently to your cheek once you are ready.
 * 6)  Now here's the big step: make yourself some sort of hat out of tin foil (or any tin foil garment of your choosing, put it on and say firmly "I am not afraid of tin foil. Tin foil does not own my life." You may want to repeat this phrase of empowerment multiple times, and you may want to do it in public for maximum empowerment.
 * 7)  Go to Chipotle, Q Doba, or another food establishment that serves food wrapped in tin foil. Peel back the tin foil (but do NOT take it all the way off) and slowly eat the meal.
 * 8)  After successfully completing this meal, you should feel much more comfortable around tin foil! Congratulations! You're an accomplisher!
