How to get over fear of spiders

I hate that I'm afraid of them, even though they're way smaller than me theres something disgusting about them that makes me want to puke.

I dont want to rely on other people to rid spiders. My family makes fun of me and looks down on me for being afraid of them which is not fair. Sometimes people would try chase me with them which is not funny at all or won't remove them because 'I need to grow up'.

Please any help, and no I'm not going to self prescribe myself with arachnophobia.

Hi, I think the best way to get over a fear is to read up about the thing that scares you, I don't know much about spiders but whenever I see one in the house I think ohh they catch flies and I would rather have a spider I see once every few weeks then flies buzzing around.. I'm sure they have super redeeming qualities and aren't as scary as we can imagine them to be.

Unless you live in Australia or other places then the ones we get in the UK are extremely harmless and can't harm us! Good luck

The next time you see a spider, pick it up. It'll show you that they're not that bad

The spider will bite you though?

Not many spiders bite, especially not a common household spider.

Well the thing is some spiders I have seen in my house are so big and look like they can kill me with one sting.

Lol I feel your pain I have severe aracnophobia and tbh I've just accepted it as honestly I have no idea how I'd get over such a fear, even tho ik its irrational they're just so scary

Ikr, it's worse knowing that one day I'll have to live by myself and deal with them. Even if I call my neighbours over itll probably be hiding again. When I was younger I guess I was more determined to overcome my fear as I actually let one on my arm but that made it worse.

I listen to epic anime osts to psych me up to kill them

Omg same! I genuinely am so so scared of living on my own/ w someone w rlly bad aracnophobia because honestly idk wtf I would do! Omg you let one on your arm, hats off to you my friend I would never be able to do that. For me I wish I was less scared of them as I've always wanted to visit Australia but obviously there are so many massive spiders there and idk how I would cope as I'd be in fear all the time lmaoo
