Brrrrrr.. I'm also scared of spiders! It's getting better now but when I see one at home I want it out NOW. And I scream until my husband comes and release it carefully, LOL! I haven't heard of any poisonous spiders in Switzerland but they are gigantic here!
I am a little bit claustrophobic. It makes me crazy to go in a cave OR when I'm stuck in a lift. I feel like I can't breathe and am about to faint. I try to overcome it by breathing deeply and thinking about something what makes me happy but it doesn't always help.
Good to know that I'm not alone!
Absolutely not :) I believe that most of people are not comfortable with spiders.. look at how many legs they have! :)
