Life would be boring if everyone liked the same things. I'm sure there are a lot of people terrified of dogs, and a lot of people are terrified of rats, but I still love 'em. I have a massively bad case of arachnophopia also, but I wouldn't judge someone else for loving them... in fact I'm glad that some people do. Poor spiders don't have a lot of people on their side!

Talking Re: Spider phobia

Now this is gonna sound really strange... i have 3 tarantula's, amazing things to have... but i'm scared of house spiders & daddy longlegs! I think its cos house spiders are quite skittish, they move in a funny way, but i don't know what it is about daddy longlegs, i've been scared of them since a child. Tarantula's are quite big, are kept safe in a tank, they just seem less scary! How strange is that!

Re: Spider phobia

hehe...I HATE house and garden spiders...money spiders I can cope with...but anything bigger and I will scream the house down.

Daddy long legs are ok and I can quite confidently hold tarantula like spiders...

The mind is a weird and wonderful thing!

Re: Spider phobia

I am the same but mine extends to the fact i can't touch a page of a book that has one on


My shed is a no go zone, and i don't like being on the grass, i have a fear that they will crawl on me

I have just managed to take a look at some pictures on here................no way i have goosebumps and i am scared!!! I really admire all you that have them, i really do.

I didn't use to like spiders, but doing an animal management course at college I had to hold a chillian rose turantula (sp) - it wasn't as bad as I thought! My friend hated them... and admitted to being scared, she wouldn't hold it, but she touched it, and said she felt better for doing it. Maybe if you can do something similar?
I actually like Spiders now, although saying that, I still scream if I see one crawling across my living room LOL.
