Why am I afraid of spiders?

They're creepy looking and

some are poisonous...

lived interior the azores and had backyard spiders (massive , furry, yet "hazard unfastened" HA) thrown on me at a while 2-4 via bratty boyz. So , i've got had a hell of a time removing this phobia...yet not afraid almost as much as I as quickly as grew to become into. I have been given a tat on my decrease back/hips/butt of a enormous spider internet reason it particularly is particularly the only factor i've got ever been worrying of. i'm nevertheless not comfortable comfortable with them...yet i will now particularly camp on the floor in factors the place tarantulas are (waiting , lurking, waiting to pounce and scare the holy hell out of me :) ...that could desire to never have been possible some years in the past. i did not even like driving by (heavily ...lmao)...arizona , west tx, or nevada.

You need to know the difference between a phobia and a fear:

Fear: Afraid of something but you can manage to deal with it

Phobia: Disrupts your life and you will avoid it by any means necessary.

I recommend desensitization methods. Take small steps into dealing with this. For example, first just imagine a spider in your mind, second, view a picture of one, third, view one from afar.

People are afraid of things because they have had instances before in which the objects, or things like them, manifested themselves in a way as to scar your mental image of them forever.

arachnophobia, i can relate. its a common phobia, one of the most common in fact.

A lot of people have the same problem, I know I do hehe :)
