Hello Everyone, This post is about my father, who is deathly affaid of spiders. He is now 76 and has been scared to death of them for as long as I can remember. I'm 37 and moved back in with him about a year ago when his health wasn't that good, and realized he has the same fear. I would think after time it won't be as bad and everyone is different. Anyway this is my first post and wanted to say hello to everyone. [This message has been edited by ScareCrow6.7 (edited 05-03-2002).] IP: Logged |

Hi ScareCrow  Welcome to the board..... I'd love to know what the most common phobia is....I reckon spiders would be well up the list.....I don't mind furry ones but I can't handle the ones with spindly legs that fly. 'Daddy Longlegs' we call them in the UK... Nice to see you here... Zafu IP: Logged |

I am SOOOOO afraid of spiders!!!!!!!  If I see a spider I start to shake for a few seconds. And when I think about seeing one, I stark shaking. EVERY time I go in my bedroom, I search the ceiling for spiders. If there is one on my ceiling, I wont sleep in there until it's dead-- and I HAVE to see it's guts and it all smeared or whatever for me to be happy. EWWWWW, yesterday I was outside sitting in a fold-up chair, and I decided to move and sit somewhere else. Well, I un-folded my chair and went to sit down but saw a WEIRD looking spider hanging on the chair. I dropped the chair and shreiked!!! Just the thought of that THING being on me and climbing around made my heart race... and I couldn't stop shaking for awhile!!! Is ANYONE out there like this as well????Mal [This message has been edited by Orlando's Girl (edited 06-30-2002).] IP: Logged |
