I'm a really bad arachniphobic, and i was wondering if it was normal to not want to be able to get over the phobia. I cant handle the thought of one day being able to look at, or comprehend those eight legged freaks ... am i wierd?

Not too many people like to look Tarantulas or Brown Recluse spiders in the face! Or even a giant Garden Spider with those beautiful yellow designs on its huge back! Or how about a Black Widow just waiting to pouce on you when you enter a dank, dark basement? I hate them, too. I used to resort to carrying around a can of "RAID" so I could get rid of the varments. But I know that we are bitten only in self-defense or if we put or hands on them--especially the poisonous ones! Stay away from wood piles, dark, dank places, and be careful in outhouses (no joke!). Most of them are OK, just leave them alone and let them catch all the insects they can eat.

So you have curantusarachnaphobiaphobia (fear of healing from fear of spiders) , lol :-)
But spiders are so cute and useful, how can you not like them?
Well I suppose this doesn't help you really, good luck anyway, after you get over you won't mind it

NO-they are nasty to me as well. I choose to keep mine because the thought of being ok with one makes my stomach turn. Don't worry-I am sure over half of the population agrees with you.

You have arachnophobiaphobia? LOL. It's always normal to fear conquering our fears.
