It's not a phobia or anything severe with me either, I just feel I have use caution around spiders. The only bugs I go out of my way to smash, besides the usual pests like mosquitoes, fleas, ticks and so on, would be the little too friendly crickets I encounter. Other than that, if they leave me alone, I leave them alone.
My fear of spiders and bugs isn't as crippling as depicted here zpz' not USUALLY. Although I probably have overreacted on many occasions. we have huge insects here, and spiders are no different.
We're talking creatures that can easily be as big as your palm, 'course most aren't dangerous, and sure there's parts of the world that has far larger, but I still don't like being around them xpx; I also don't think they should necessarily be killed either, and while they are somewhat fascinating to me to an extent, I still don't want to be around them lol
Spiders make me nervous. It's not so much a fear as just being creeped out by them. I don't mind most bugs, but I really don't like the crickets I have here. They live in the basement and laundry room, thing is, they get a little too familiar with me at times (by that I mean they like to crawl up inside my pants legs).
I know the feeling there. I've had similar things happen to me before, though not dealing with costumes. Being asked to help is one thing, I don't mind doing that, but an aversion that developed in me back in High school was that I will not do the brunt of the work I'm being asked to help with. I'm asked to help, that means assist, not do the whole thing.
it wouldn't be so bad if it didn't praticaly end up me doing the outfit instead of her helping zpz' and at the last minute no doubt. See I don't mind a recycled costume-- that's understandable, but cloud is CONSTANTLY wanting something completely out there and different every other year, which makes things hard.
One time, she wanted to be a giant hairdryer. Another year was an Elite Beat Agent, preferably Agent "J", and this year was a decision over Link or Mario or something like that, before going over to the idea of "Christmas spirit" which has her in a Halloween angel dress, with a ton of christmas stuff over it. The year before it, she was a Soldier of Rolent.
Opposite of my reaction. I talk to them. Unless they're on me or have stingers. Then I go into panic mode.
XD And Cloud makes an appearance. I have no patience to make costumes. My mom made the base of mine ages ago and I just kept recycling it. Thank goodness she's organized though else I would never have a costume XP I guess I'm as bad as Cloud!
