Fear

Fear

Fear is something everyone gets, but everyone has a different fear. I share a fear of spiders with a lot of people because it is such a common fear. The real question is, what is it about spiders that makes us so afraid? For me, I am afraid of spider because of the eight legs, the hairs, and the webs. They all frighten me, but what frightens me the most is the way they see you with the eyes they have. Lots of people say that spiders will not harm people, but that doesn’t matter to me, I still feel like it’s going to pounce if it decides it wants to. I have heard lots of stories about what spiders have done to people, most of which may not even be true. I still hate the way they may bite you. Getting bitten by a spider is what frightens me most of all.
