overcome my fear

Actually, there are many things I'm scared of, but the most thing scared me recently is the hot oil splashing down on my hands when I'm cooking. I thought the hot oil might hurt my hands and even destroy my hands, so I always try to pretect my hands carefully from the hot oil, like wearing a pair of plastic gloves when cooking.

Because of this kind of fear, my roommate always laugh at me for my scare of spalshing hot oil, so I feel a little upset and I've been trying to overcome my fear for a long time. On the first day, I cooked without my plastic gloves, and standed far away from the pan when I was cooking. However, the hot oil spalshed all around the pan, and I was standing away from the pan until the food was scorched. The second time, I tried to use a long handle cook shovel and it worked pretty well. However, a little hot oil still splashed down on my hands, and it's actually not hurt like I thought at all! Now I can cook without fear and my lovely plastic gloves!
