Arachnophobia!!!!! i can't even begin to tell you guys about my fear of spiders. its really scary to me that i can have such a fear!
ok everyone start spilling:
what do you fear? or What phobias do you have?
What is it with being scared of spiders? They're beautiful. They've never scared me.
Wow. I could watch them for hours. The way they ripple is amazing.
Now, wasps is different. Even hearing one makes me freeze up. Spiders though? Amazing. If it wasn't for my wife I'd encourage them actively in the house. Wolf spiders and most of the bigger varieties eat wasps you see, and my mother was never scared of them so I think I never learned to be scared. Its not like they're dangerous anyway, not here.
You should see a therapist about that phobia. Can kill you, being that scared of something. Heard about a guy once that crashed his car and died because he had a spider dangling off his mirror.
well here in new york we have to deal with these itty bitty spiders...which i get sick over, like i said size doesn't matter when it comes to these things, a spider is a spider...but this phobia prevents me from doing things i want to do, like camping and hiking and other stuff.
I always saw a fear of any kind as something to be challenged and worked around. If I had a phobia that severe, first thing I'd be doing is hauling my ass to a phobia therapist to get it worked through. I had a really great therapist who helped me be able to hold a jar with a wasp in it, although we never quite got me over my fear of the sound.
you see now, knowing that i'll have to be around a spider to get over my fear of it, i fear that and won't do it.
You might not. First three months of my phobia therapy, we didn't even look at a picture of it. By the time it came to looking at a picture of one, I was so pissy at the ammount of time it'd taken to get that far it actually helped.
Getting angry can really help you challenge a phobia. Get angry at it- its holding you back, its making you weaker. Anything that gets you pissed off enough that you can look at it and say 'this is irrational' and just push right through those boundries. Sounds dumb, but it works.
i am a Brooklyn Italian...i know all about anger, believe me. i use my anger in so many ways in my life, that i could never be angry at this phobia because it just has such a big grasp and hold over me, this fear is here to stay![]()
You'd be surprised. Next time you see a spider, get pissy at it. Get angry enough that instead of running away you splatter the bastard. Gotta be worth a try.
