Had five minutes of fun playing with a big spider the other day - totally harmless and once they get used to you they are quite happy to sit quietly in your palm. :cuppaT:

When they stay in one place for ages, and then suddenly completely disappear from sight can be a tad annoying. :mrgreen:


Yeah... then reappear above the bed!! :yikes:
They know exactly what they're doing. :ooer:


It’s now been relegated to the great outdoors :mrgreen:

A fear is a phobia, same thing..... all fears have a name, ending in ‘phobia’!

I just had an Apiphobia moment with the little fooker in my kitchen! :grrrrr:

Good point :thumbsup:
I define a phobia as when the very thought - let alone the sight - of something makes you break out in a cold sweat.

Phobias can be life changing, in that your alter your life to avoid the phobia at all costs.

Fear can be irrational but doesn't alter your life.

And I forgot to say hello. Hello!

hello.... :wubwub: (& I forgot to 'answer', but I will later :wink: )

Ok, by that rationale, I guess I don't have phobias. The thought of a snake, for example, makes my blood run cold. But it doesn't alter my life.

Depends on the degree - the lives of PTSD sufferers, for instance, can be altered substantially - they can experience great fear but are not necessarily phobic.
