Arachnophobia-Fear of Spiders

That is a very realistic (and common) phobia! I know this seems scary, but actually facing your phobia is truly the best thing to do. For example, the next time you're in a pet store, ask if you can handle a tarantula to let it crawl on you. As you ease yourself into having experiences with spiders or similar creatures, the phobia will ease out Good luck!

@Emily619 That sounds like too much, I can't even look at a picture of a tarantula without getting scared.

@sweetbutterfly93

Do you think easing yourself into it would help? Such as photos of small insects to start with, and build-up from there

@Emily619 yeah, I can handle insects

@sweetbutterfly93

Either slowly facing it yourself or seeking professional help. I know there are professionals who specialise in helping people overcome their phobias

Spiders is super normal so pretty sure with help you'll get over it easily :)

Best of luck!

@Booklover95 One thing that I have tried doing is to look up cartoon drawings of spiders. I have also tried listening to the instermental of the itsy bitsy spider. That doesn't effect me to bad...

@sweetbutterfly93

That's great! Is a good start. Be proud of yourself and keep trying :)

@sweetbutterfly93

Oh my gosh, I completely understand! Ive got to the ripe old age of 41 and still have to call a neighbour to remove one if my husband isn't around, what's worse, my 6.2ft 17 yr old son is also terrified.. ....probably due to my reactions when he was younger 🙈 soooooo having said that, if you can muster up the courage to face this fear before you get to my age, is absolutely the right thing to do. Jeez...... I can' even sit on the floor 🙈🙈

I am also a bit scared of spiders

@benevolentDaisy52 but how do I get over my fear? I hate that I am this fearful of spiders.
