Which scares you more: regular spiders or tarantulas?

I'm curious because I'm scared of spiders (big, little, venomous, not venomous, just all of them), but I'm not scared of tarantulas at all.

I thought that it was odd, so I wanted to know how other people feel about this. xD

    Tarantulas are cute to me, but the small ones with the long legs freak me out for some reason. I think because tarantulas resemble pets more than spiders do since they're furry looking.

    Funny, I just don't seem to have any fear at all of anything with 6 or 8 legs.

    I think because tarantulas have a reputation for not biting, their size makes them hard to associate with common spiders. Being very docile, I think this may be the reason some people fear these least.

    It's hard for me to fathom somebody that could fear something like this;

    I dont think tarantulas are that dangerous to humans... I mean, a black widow looks less scarier but their venom is more toxic. so if i were to encounter either a tarantula or a black widow i'd rather encounter the tarantula.

    Slowly get toward them as you believe relaxed and be a person and task your fears eventualy just decide upon one up even for a second mayby smaller spiders to start with and longer untill the worry is just not as bad or the worry is there but original sence takes over.

    Little ones. I hate the little tickle feelings of small insects on me. Like ants and such. But when the walk is heavier and the creature is bigger (like a tarantula) I am okay with it crawling on me.

    I'd say the little ones cuz I know that some of ten could kill me. And tarantulas would just bite you and it would hurt but you wouldn't die.

    I'd still flip the **** out either way tho. ^-^

    I'm not afraid of any spider. I even have 12 as pets, including a male black widow.
