Arachnephobia: The fear of spiders
Okay THIS I can breathe to. THIS doesn't bother me to the extent of wanting to start from scratch again. This doesn't make me fear I'm OCD to the point of it being life altering. The more I looked at my earlier picture the more and more I LOATHED it. I couldn't just leave it alone. So I redid it and I'm MUCH happier with these results.
Note to self: don't play with perspective when exhausted. The results are not good, no no.
I'm thinking about using this outfit every Friday. It has a strange Tim Burton feel to it that I love! So I think I will be wearing this for every fear project.
Anyway, I wanted to start with the most famous phobia of all time. Well, first I want to define phobia (it's different than a fear). A phobia is whenever you see or encounter something that interferes with your life and causes a physical reaction. So if you had arachnephobia you would see a spider on your bed and suddenly have a panic attack. Your heart would be thumping against your chest, your hands would sweat, you would run out of the room and be unable to come back into the room until you knew it was spider free. This is different than having a slight fear or being creeped out by spiders. This applies to all phobias.
One thing I can't help but wonder is why we as humans are so creeped out by spiders. What kind of insects did we encounter in the dawn of manhood that would have been such a threat it was burnt into our psyche for thousands of years? I don't know but I'm glad I don't have to find out.
