To be extremely afraid of spiders

If I see a spider like outside or something, I could care less about, but when I lay down to go to sleep I always think that my blanket is stuffed with the critters and that they're all over me. Is it normal to be afraid of them crawling on me while I'm sleeping even though I know they aren't there?

    Normally spiders just disgust me, but I'm afraid of big spiders (and I consider a spider with a diameter more than 1 cm a big spider). I don't want to go near them. If I have to kill it I use a stick or something.

    I'm a guy and this feels embarrasing... :/

    I'm more creeped at them being on the ceiling while I'm sleeping, and dropping down on me. But I've lived in squalor for a few years, with roaches, and all sorts of bugs crawling on me while I slept, so as long as it's not poisonous, I'm usually okay.

    I hate spiders, most do. It's normal to be scared of them, When i see one in a room i won't go in the room for about 3-5 days :/

    Normal, although I don't mind spiders. Ants on the other hand...

  • I can't stand that thought either but medium-large spiders scare the heck out of me.

    And my mother is an arachnaphobic so she has a total freak out when she sees any spider even the teeny ones.

    You're normal.
