I have an intense fear of spiders I keep trying to overcome.
I know most people will just think I'm stupid or a baby about it because I know they are more afraid of us than we are of them..
I don't want them dead or to kill them, I just panic even at the thought of one lurking anywhere where I can't see them.
One was hiding under my work table and I couldn't calm myself down it was near my legs. I started panicking.
Spring/summer is spider season and we have lots of spiders hanging around leaving egg sacs in our house. I just wish I could get over it, it's been since middle school since I had an incident which left me afraid of them ever since.
Having a genuine fear of something is not stupid or childish. Besides, a lot of people have arachnophobia.
