If you're unfamiliar with the word, arachnophobia is an extreme fear of spiders. And many people suffer from it, myself included. So I can say it is real and very serious. But if you don't share this fear with us, here are 12 things you should know about people with arachnophobia.
1. This is close to our reaction when we see a spider.
2. If you try to pull something like this, we'll never forgive you.
3. Imagining this on our hand is enough to consider an amputation.
4. Meet our very worst nightmare.
5. Understand this is not cute to us.
6. Expect a hot mess when we have to kill the spider.
7. This is a real possibility in our minds.
8. We are equally scared of large spiders as we are of small ones.
9. This is how we see the gates of hell.
10. We'll double check toilets for about the next three months now.
11. We'd rather die than be locked in a room with these unspeakable creatures.
12. This is us when people think our fear is funny.
Arachnophobia isn't a myth. It affects many people in a very serious way and maybe now you discovered that you have arachnophobia too. But if you're still unfazed and one of the brave, be a good person and kill every single spider before they make their way to the rest of us.
