hi i'm trying to be vegan / vegetarian but i have a huge phobia of insects, when i'm alone and one enters my room i can't bring myself to be close enough to put them in a cup and release them, i can only take a large shoes or anything and kill them, but i feel so bad killing an innocent being just for my comfort but i don't know how else i could get rid of them without approaching them too much

Maybe you could use a broom?

I used to feel this way but now I have been vegan since 2018 and even my biggest fear of stink bugs, is so much better. i can trap them under cups and such and i just leave spiders in my apartment. they do make random tools like the bugzooka or bug trapping tools where u can then let them outside
