Hey there, everyone! Well, I just have like very important question to ask for you guys...! Well, my family/friends always says that I DON`T have any fear...it`s like I`m a fearless! But I do have one, just one fear which always bother me since I was about 5. I have a fear/phobia what is called Arachnophobia, a fear of spiders... Small, teensy spiders usually doesn`t even bother me at all but if I sees GAINT spiders...I tend to scream and then run away from that spider, lol! So, I`m wondering if you guys also have different kinds of fears or same as mine. Thanks for now!

I used to be afraid of spiders, but I have gotten better. Just remember that if you don't bother them, they won't bother you. I have an unusual fear of blowing up balloons, since I am scared that they will pop in my face!

Hello, bestie! Spiders are such a pain; I know why you would be scared of them! Um, I have a lot of phobias but maybe my worst is my fear of bees and wasps. I literally go crazy when I hear one, let alone see one. It's like a light switch goes off and I can't even move. It's so frustrating!! 🙄 To help with your fear of spiders, I would just suggest being calm when around them. That has really helped me with wasps and I hope it helps you! 😜

Hello! Yeah, sometimes having the fear as mine is such a pain!!! That`s crazy that you have fears of bees and wasps! I usually like to watch bees or wasps, haha! But thanks for an advice, that`s would helps me a lot! 😲

Right?! I can't believe you actually like bees!! 😂 I think they hate me just as much as I hate them! And you're welcome, I hope it helps!

I like the honey, and the honey comes from bees, and I like bees...crazy, right?! 🤣

Haha! Well, yeah, I rarely ever says exactly like that sometimes just to outsmart my older sister or my mom, haha! 🤣

Haha! That`s would be super funny to see their reactions! 😅

I have a BIG fear of bees, wasps and hornets. I know bees are good for the earth but they just freak me out for some reason 😖

Ohhhh yikes! Giant spiders usually bothers me a lot but not SMALL spiders....!

hi! I have a fear of spiders, too! When I was about to take a bath in my bathroom, there was a teeny tiny spider on the table, and I RAN FOR MY LIFE OUTTA THERE ye, i have a big fear of spiders... :) I have a fear of spiders, bugs, any kind of insects, (yes, also butterlflies,) heights, dropping from extreme heights, when my hair is super messy in the morning,(which doesn't really happen or my family has a fear of ME lol) sharks, tight spaces, dying with no-one knowing, nightmares about voldemort...and a bunch more...u must be really brave! :)

@elena_rose936 we have like exactly the same fears hah!! I'm scared of almost all bugs 😬

Omg....that`s crazy!!! I love extreme heights....a lot, haha!!! But thanks for relpying!

omg! did u ever go to disneyland? There's this ride called "The Guardians Of The Galaxy" and it goes up and straight down.....if u ever go there u should definetly try the ride! 😬

No, I did not go Disneyland, yet! But would put it on my vacation wishlist! But thanks for a suggestion about the ride!

Same, I really hate creepy-crawlies in general. You're not alone!

Glad to know that I`m not alone with this kind of fear/phobia!

Pretty much everyone here has different kinds of fear/phobias...!

Haha, well, i sorta have the same thing. I hate insects. There are a few exceptions like lady bugs, but the rest I am not a fan of, at least not in an enclosed space. The problem is, i feel sorry for them if i squish it. Aaand so i always end up in a dilemma.

Yeah, true! But sometimes when I sees giant spiders...I sometimes just scream then kill it....yeah, that`s usually makes me feel better...don`t blame me, lol!

bruh i cant kill a spider 😅 not like i cared about spiders, but that they look too creepy...

So true! It`s like I can`t kill that spider but somehow I sometimes just kill it.... Seriously, my brain, are you fearless or just blank?????

Oh, I sort-of kinda have Melissophobia, which is also known as apiphobia, which is fear of bees. Like I literally freak out when I see one. I don’t really know why, because I know they don’t sting you unless you do harm to them. So…. Also, my cousin has Arachnophobia, too.

I didn't know so many people had a fear of bees, I thought I was the only one!!!

Oh, well that`s kinda sounds crazy! But anyway, thanks for replying, it`s usually helps me feel not alone with this phobia.

have any of you watch I love lucy, its an old black and white show with Lucille Ball (the best actor ever ) in my opinion its the best TV show ever !🥰

I think I have seen it once, but I don't remember anything from it.

I have, but I only ever watch with my sister who rolls on the floor laughing, but it only gives me a chuckle, so that's the only reason I watch it.

I have heard of it but have never watched it! I've heard that Lucille Ball was one of the best actresses in the world!!

I think you definitely could watch it because there is no inappropriate stuff.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!!!!!!! I love I Love Lucy, too! 😲😜
