Does anyone Have arachnophobia? I have arachnophobia, unfortunatly. Some people don't.

By the way, Arachnophobia is the fear of SPIDERS.

What's wrong with Arachnophobia? I think Arachnophobia is great! Man, I wish I had Arachnophobia; I'd so be watching it right now. That flaming spider at the end is awesome.

they are pretty gross, but why be scared when you can grab a rolled up magazine and wtfpwn them.

I might have a fear of mosquitoes...I'm not really sure. Every time a crane fly flies in though I spend 10 minutes stalking it until it dies.
Spiders, at least, can't fly.
My friend does have arachnophobia though. He has dreams of spiders sometimes...
Then again, he also dreams about hairy tomatoes.
And I saw the movie too. It gave me the creeps about spiders for like...a week. Then I forgot about it ¬.¬

I'm scared of bugs crawling or eating me, but I wouldn't call it a phobia. Except for the crawling part.

Spiders scare me to death in all honesty. The day I was leaving for a couple weeks I saw a spider in my room. I had to stomp on it without a shoe on, couldn't get the bugger get away and be safe under my bed or anything. I was extremely happy to not be sleeping in my room that night.

Personally, I LOVE spiders. Ive had two pet tarantulas, one of them was a "pink toed" tarantula that actually has pale pink on the ends of its legs and was real cute. Her name was Petunia, but she might have been a dude xD

I also owned a black widow for a short period... stupid, i know, but i was young, lmao.

Ya, I definitely have an irrational fear of spiders, even when they're dead. I think it might be arachnophobia.

Anyone know why this is so prevalent amongst the phobias?
People hear about it. Then they realize that they dislike spiders. They then think they must suffer from arachnophobia!

OMG. I hate spiders. I loathe them, and cringe at the sight of them.

One time, I was walking out of my work-- you know--doing the after-shift trudge to my car. Ten steps out of the door, and then I noticed there was a frickin' tarantula at my feet.

I did this little fairy skip and squealed away from it. After I got a good distance away from it, I turned back, only to notice that it was dead. But still, it scared the hell out of me. It's the only tarantula I've seen in the wild. Even if it was dead.

Black Widows are the only spiders I'm scared of =< A black widow bite is supposed to be one of the most painful things you can experience. I think one used to live in my basement when I was a wee lass. I'm so glad I never tried to investigate it.

I don't have arachnophobia. I even used to own a tarantula. When he died, I put him in a drawer for my mom to find =)

Yeah, female black widows (the classic black with red hourglass kind) have a really nasty, usually fatal bite.

I love spiders, but I think a fear of death by deadly spiders is completely rational, haha.

BTW children at home, dont keep black widows as pets! is it even necessary to put up a disclaimer that effing obvious? XD

Also, ROFL @ leaving it in the drawer. Thats morbid and I approve.

LIKE WOMBATS. And Jews. Not saying theyre bad people, they just scare me.

Who else is Jewphobic? Maybe SuperSonicDJS, are you Jewphobic in addition to being Arachnophobic?

Im also Clinophobic (fear of going to bed/sleeping), how about you, or anyone else?

Not Arachnophobic, but Jewphobic and Clinophobic.

Oh and Wombatophobic. Effing wombats.





Sorry to post twice in a row, if thats frowned upon here. I just felt the urge to warn people about Wombats.

lol, I fear spiders, yes. Especially the smaller ones, you never know when one can just come down on you randomly and you would have to shake it off. Also, I fear webs as well (wow I just shivered) because it may be home to a spider, lol. I hate walking near trees, because for some reason there could be a web near it, ugh. I try to avoid walking near the trees, haha.

Some of those spiders are pretty creepy, but thats part of why i love em!

Wombats are awesome. You're crazy is you don't like wombats. And I live in NYC, lul, Jews are everywhere. One time, these little Jewish kids tried to sell me some kind of plant(I think it had to do with a holiday). It was, dare I say, cute, because they seemed really shy about it. Don't get me wrong, though, I normally loathe children.

CK, you win. Hahaha. The second to last picture is adorable =D Look at all those baby spiders!

Lmao, I hate kids too. And I dont think I really fear Jewish people, just their power. Their God power. Lawl.

Im going to refer to that creature as the Livvers Spider from now and show it to my friends. Theyll be all likes "Oh noes its teh Libburz Spaidah" and Ill be all likes "Heyllz yeah!"

But lets get back on topic. What was the topic again, Jews? Yeah, theyre cool I guess.

Yeah, I was going to post a picture of my tarantula beanie baby, but got lazy, rofl. I even told my sister about the mass of spider pics and she got mad at me for even describing them. Shes what Id call the "most severe level" of arachnophobe, where you cant even say the word spider without her freaking out >_<

I had arachnophobia. Then one day I saw a jumping spider about the size of my palm-it was MASSIVE. Then I saw it's fangs retract and tossed it at my VERY arachnophobic friend. I got over it after that.

I used to be allergic to them when I was like in the second grade I got stung and I had a bad allergic reaction and I was told that if I was stung again I could die...years later I got stung again and then again after that nothing happened either times...So I guess I got immune ore something. But still Im so scared of bees lol

Haha, Coda, I would about **** myself if I was stung again. I'd be like,"OMFG I'M GOING TO DIE!" and flip out. It would truly be my most embarrassing moment in life.

It's not like I flip out or anything.. if I see one I casually avoid it. They really really get to me when they're close, because they fly so drunkenly I have no idea where it's going to land. I don't want those things on me, they are disgusting.

They're huge leathery bugs. Ugh.
