I honestly don’t know…if I see more than 5 bus in a group (ants, bees, earwigs, etc), I don’t start crying…but my toes curl, and my butt cheeks squeeze together…kinda like a “pre-scream”…

Answer #3

You need to slowly acclimate yourself to them. Have a friend capture a spider in a jar now and then, and get closer and closer until it doesn’t bother you as much. Eventually you should be able to stand being next to one.
