yes you are like me yepper i hat them but when i was small i caught a spider like that and i watched him through a jar and it scared me and i have been scared ever since i guess its mind in matter. anyhow there is spider spray and you can spray the entire room with it and in the closet and all it will kill them and windows also that is what iw would do well i do it period down in texas there are spiders that are poison and therefore i am careful

Answer 2

Im also 15. I'm scared of spiders but it doesn't really bother me. Everybody pretty much is.

I never used to be, when i was really little (2-4yrs perhaps) where i lived there was a huntsman that lived in my wardrobe, i gave it a name and everything thats seems weird but it was there for at least a year then it just dissapeared i think my mum killed it cause she hates spiders.

Answer 3

Answer 4

fear is usually a result of something being unknown.  educate yourself about spiders, about their positive qualities (they definitely keep the bug level down in your house!) and about how the majority of them are completely harmless.  they're also fascinating creatures in and of themselves.  

learn how to identify the poisonous kinds and then you'll know if there's actually something to be afraid of when you see a spider.

Answer 5

think about it. you are 1000's times bigger than a spider. he is scared shitless of you! the way to beat your fear is to confront it. Kill as many spiders as you can, even go play with a pet tarantula, and you will destroy this fear.

Answer 6

I had a fear of Tarantulas. The way I overcame my fear was by going to the pet store and watching them. It was scary to watch them but I did this often till I got used to seeing them. Then I would sometimes ask the sales guy if he would take one out and hold it. I watched him hold it every time I went up there. Then one day I asked if I could touch it's back and he let me. I eventually worked my way up to holding it. I am not going to say that I wasn't scared holding it but I faced it and I am not as afraid as I once was. I found out by watching and touching them that they do not harm you and am much less afraid of them than I was before.

Fear keeps a person from being able to experience life, do not let your fears control you and give yourself positive talk when you are afraid of something. ( like explain rationally how this should not be a problem and it won't hurt you) If you continue to talk yourself through it, it will eventually settle in your head that there is nothing to fear. Don't forget to congratulate yourself once you have achieved one of your goals. No goal is too small and each step in overcoming fear should be recognized.

Answer 11

Well, if there is a type of spider that you usually see more often then others, you could look it up online, to see if it is harmless or not. I dont live in new york, but most spiders aren't as dangerous as they look, doesn't mean if they're big and hairy, theyre deadly. Because some small ones are deadlier than big ones, like tarantulas arent deadly at all, but they look intimidating. its just all in how you see things
