I am terrified of spiders! Most likely I have a phobia, but my sister denies me.I suppose I will give you some examples of how I react to spiders, and maybe you can prove my sister wrong, and I will truly know id it is a REAL phobia or not. I was sleeping over my sisters house and I dreamed about seeing a spider. I freaked out and slept with-out any covers for a whole week. Now it sound stupid if you think about it. When I was over my dad's I thought I saw a spider, so I woke my dad up and had him shake off all of my covers. I saw a DEAD spider when I was rinsing out the shower, before I got in it. A spider, a dead spider, was being washed up in the water. I panicked, started to cry, called my dad, and by the time he came it had been washed down the drain with the water. I was scared in the shower, screaming and crying, with the thought that the spider would come back up the drain. Now, these weren't that recent examples, but I think they seem childish, and my reason is, I have an arachnophobia. Comment what you think. Please nothing mean about how stupid I was to be terrified of a spider.
