Don’t think so. Might have watched Spiderman too young…

As do I. I have suffered from Arachnophobia for 60 years. They freak me out too, cold sweats, shakes, the lot
As I’ve got older I can control my reaction but not the fear.

You have an excuse though. You come from a place unfit for humans.

Strangely enough it stemmed from two incidents with Huntsmans in rapid succession.*

I had a horrific meeting with a huntsman that was delivered to us in a Wardrobe. I bravely ran away at top speed. Cunting thing hid so Jackie couldn’t deal with it. I woke up the next day with this mahooosive spider on the cornice over my head. Luckily Jackie dealt with it while I cowered heroically in the kitchen.

I used to fucking hate spiders. Dealt with it eventually by visiting a mate who had a tarantula.
He put the spider on my knee and I was reasonably calm until the fucker got onto my shoulder.
Beads of perspiration appeared on my brow and the spider was removed.
The occasional spider is dealt with by Lord Boots and Ginger Mk2 who find them delicious, apparently.

I was 5 years old. Playing the back garden on a pile of dirt. I’d made a mountain road for my Matchbox cars. I went to pull one out of a “cave” when a Huntsman engulfed my hand.
I squealed like a bitch !
Two days later, my uncle was teasing me about spiders coming to eat me while I slept (nice cunt!).
Naturally, I had a spider based nightmare that night. When I awoke, there was another Huntsman on the pillow next to my face !!!
Faaaark !!
I’ve never been the same since.

My sister too. She’s a bit better now but when she was young she’d have committed extreme violence to keep clear of them.
