Is it normal that I'm extremely terrified of spiders?

  • I'm not sure if it's normal, but I feel the exact same way. I was bitten by one (I can't even type or say the word) when I was a child. I don't know if that's why I can't stand them or not. I don't even like crab, mosquitos or anything that has multiple legs like them. When I lived alone I would cover my eyes and spray them with hair spray because I was afraid of squishing them, and did't want it to get away and get on me while I was sleeping. Then I'd call my Gram, parents or boyfriend (if I had one at the time) to come and remove it. My Gram has prayed for me, put oil on me, and given me lectures on how I'm bigger than any bug crawling. I don't know why, but I don't want them around at all. Try using that Orkin Home Defense spray. I spray the entire perimeter of my home, then put home defense pellets all out side the perimeter of my home. They stay out for an entire year if you do this. I know this sounds stupid, but it works and I know how you feel. I may be crazy because of the fear, but I can't help it.

    • I'm glad I am not the only one, a huge black spider came into my room last night. Even though I am a teenager I rain screaming into my parents room. It woke the whole house up and they all thought we where being robbed. I got my mother to squish it and check behind everything so there wasn't a single one in my room. It had crawled under my door and up the wall! It stil haunts me haha. I can't help m fear and people are always telling me oh they are more scared of you than you are of them but I don't think so. Lol my phobia is never going to heal. I will try what you said and thanks for commenting.
