Spiders. Spiders are the scariest things on Earth to me. It's like they're tiny monstrosities walking on eight little legs. To be honest I have no idea why I'm so afraid of them, but I'm afraid up to the point of calling it a phobia. It doesn't make sense to me either, because when I was a little kid I was fearless of bugs. I actually welcomed them and played around with them. But I don't know what happened while I was growing up that made me so afraid. Was I bitten? What happened? I'll never know. It isn't just spiders too, I'm equally afraid of cockroaches.
My phobia noticeably developed around when I was eleven years old. Every time I would see a spider in my house, I would always drop what I was doing and run to my mom so she can kill it. In fact, the last time that happened was about two nights ago. I finished taking a shower and as I got out I saw a spider on the wall. I panicked, went out to the living room in my towel and called my mom to tell her to kill it. And another time, I was sitting down using the computer and I noticed this HUGE daddy long legs crawling down the wall right behind the computer monitor. Again, I panicked because after a while I couldn't find it. So I decided to just sleep for the rest of the night. It was about 11pm. I never sleep that early on a weekend night. Damnit, spiders.
I really would like to know what made me so afraid. I have the knowledge of knowing that most house spiders aren't very harmful, but I still freak out like a little girl at the sight of one. Even the smallest spiders could scare me. Massive dislike of my phobia.
I stopped being so afraid of spiders..
ReplyDeleteI'm only shocked when I see it at a close range out of nowhere. I also stopped killing them and just let them off outside.
I never knew why I was afraid of them either P: I guess their appearance is just creepy.
Butttttt-- FUCK COCKROACHES.
