So not too long ago, I encountered my worst phobia... I'm severely arachnophobic. If I come in contact with a spider, I go into a state of shock. I break down. I fall to the ground, shaking, and in fear. If it's bad enough, I tear up. My eyes water and I'm unable to control myself. I freeze up, and everything goes blank in my mind.
So, by not too long ago, I meant a couple hours ago. I'm still shaking as I type this, but it's not as bad as earlier. I couldn't stop shaking, and I was almost crying. I don't know how long I froze there, staring at my hand where the spider was, but it seemed like time went by slowly.
You're probably wondering how it happened. Well, I was reading my book on my bed. I was lying on my stomach, with my stuffed monkey under my chin. My book was on the bed, and I was just reading. I noticed some black spot on my hand and turned to look at it. As my eyes focused onto the black spot, I noticed it was moving. That's when I started to freak out. I suddenly shook my hand away from me, and the spider disappeared. I then stared at the spot where the spider was, and in plain shock.
You're probably thinking that I was just overreacting, but I am severely afraid of spiders. I don't care the size, shape, or how dangerous it is. If it's classifieds as a spider, I am afraid of it.
Well... Now you know about my biggest fear. Do you have any fears? Any phobias? What happens when you encounter them?
