When you are near a spider, just take a deep breath and react calmly towards it, do not harm the spider; it is cruel to the arachnids and you may regret it someday. If this does not help, you may try going to an open space and scream out loud that you hate spiders, shriek it again and again and you will feel brave that you are actually saying it out loud to anybody who happens to pass by. Once you feel that pang of bravery, bravado will fill your heart when you approach a spider.

Most spiders and snakes will leave you alone if you leave them alone. I am sure it is the same for transvestites. No reason to fear anything

Face your fears. Try something slow and then build up. I had to do this with my daughter. It was swimming, but she now fights me to get out of the water. Go for it and you will be so proud of yourself, not only for learning something that you like, but also that you faced your fear of something.

It's a really common thing to be scared of. It's called Arachniphobia (fear of arachnids). I'm 27 years old, 6' tall and 220lb... and will scream like a little girl and run away if I see a spider.

Spiders are scary because they are creepy, crawly...just the thought of them crawling on someone usually makes them freak out.  Plus some of them are poisonous, so it is natural to be afraid of them.  I would wonder why you love them.  As in, you love to eat them, love to look at them, or what?  Maybe you just enjoy being different.  I don't like spiders (especially on me), but I don't hate them (they eat mosquitoes and I hate mosquitoes), and I admire spiders, they are cool arachnids.

A spider damn near killed me. I was nineteen, and had gone from being super-fit, to contracting rheumatic fever that made me seriously ill, not too far from pegging out.  About two weeks after, still house-bound, I managed to stagger down the stairs to the bathroom, feeling very ill, with a slow, weak pulse and very low blood-pressure.  I wanted to use the toilet, but first wanted to splash my face and rinse my mouth.  I leant over the basin, and WAAAAH! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING! My heart rate jumped to about 200beats a minute, instantly, I staggered, felt a terrible chest pain, and fell over backwards, hitting my head on the wall. Nice.\n  Another time, in Australia, getting some tables out of a friends garage, my eyes were struggling in the gloom with what appeared to be eight-fingered Workman's gloves, slowly moving on the floor... HOLY CRAP THEY'RE ALIVE!!! I was out of there instantly.  They were Huntsman spiders, known for descending onto birds' nests in trees, and eating young chicks! Vile, leathery-bodied freaks that actually drag their centres around, they seem too big and heavy to actually walk on their legs.\nYuck!

I used to have a pretty good case of arachnophobia (fear of spiders). But about ten years ago my changing religious beliefs made me become a vegetarian. So there I was trying to act like all life was sacred while still squishing spiders every chance I got. As I was feeling more and more guilty, I decided that I had to "put up or shut up" so to speak.\nOne night I saw a spider on the wall and instead of smashing it I thought I should try to catch it in something and let it go outside. Loathing getting that close to a live spider I first put on a pair of latex/rubber gloves, and then grabbed the biggest piece of tupperware with a lid that I could find (the whole time thanking God that no one was around with a camera...). Anyway, I got the spider into this two gallon container, put the lid on as fast as was humanly possible, and took it outside. When I was good and sure that the spider was at the bottom of the tupperware, I opened the lid and tipped it on it's side.\nDoing this repeatedly I became more and more used to the spiders ( I think the psychological term is "desensitized"), as each time I did this I would look at the spider through the clear plastic. Soon I was using a smaller container, and now I'm comfortable enough to scoop them up on a piece of paper. Granted I still won't touch one with my bare hands, but I can honestly say that they don't freak me out anymore.\nNot sure about the fear of the dark. Good luck.

Phobias are common and i too WAS afraid of spiders.Try overcoming yuor fears. Running away from them ,getting someone else for the eradication of the cause of fear aint gonna work fer long.Try to see and reason why u r afraid of it. You will see that there is absolutely nothing out there to be afraid of.Just think,What's the maximum harm a spider can cause- youll see that they are harmless(to us) and stupid lil creatures just craawling with their Long 8 legs.That's all I can do for your fears.It's up to you now to try and overcome u fears.

try looking at the skirts and blouses last. maybe take a cooking class, joining the theater class. Put yourself in the middle of the fear. things will get better.

I would like to have the ability to detect danger.  Kind of like a "spider-sense".

I'm afraid of flying insects with stingers-especially wasps\nand hornets. It dates back to my childhood,I got stung a few\ntimes. Lizards,snakes,spiders etc. have never particularly\nbothered me.

Sure. Think of something that usually scares the bejeesus out of you, and find a counter form of it. If you're afraid of the dark, then a flashlight would be a symbol of empowerment for you. If you're deathly afraid of spiders, bring a can of Raid. If you feel belittled by your boss, get one of those silly dolls. Sorry I can't be more specific, but it's really got to be your symbol.

Almost all spider can jump to some extent.  Yes, i hate spiders. But they are still fascinating.
