Bugs that hate themselves

There was a flying insect buzzing around in the studio at 98.5 Sonshine FM a few minutes ago. I looked around for some insect spray but the only thing we have in here is a can of insect repellent spray; the kind you spray on yourself to keep insects away.

I’m just wondering what happens if you spray bugs with that kind of spray. Do they suddenly repel themselves? Do they no longer want to be around themselves? Do they have a self esteem crisis? Do they come to the realisation that no matter how far you go your problems will follow you? Do they die of loneliness because none of their friends want to hang out with them anymore?

Normal insect spray just kills the insects. Does insect repellent spray cause them to become self-loathing creatures? Do they cause themselves harm because they can’t stand to go on living life as the hideous creature they’ve become? And the biggest question of all, why does my mind work this way?
