Frog, Fear

Frogs make me jumpy. Snakes scare me big time.

I have some phobias about insects like big spiders, centipedes, moths. I do not like to see them. I remember when I was a child, there were sometimes very big spiders in our big house. It was an old house and very damp on the first floor. Each time when I saw a big spider, goose skin would show up. There were times when spiders, I mean, big or even huge, not small ones, appeared on the wall of our bedrooms. Back to then, I used brooms to drive it away when I saw one. Otherwise I didn't feel safe in the room. Now new houses seldom see big spiders, but some tiny ones, which I am not afraid of.

All animals which suddenly come to me, scare me. Including humans, eh. So, I probably have spheksophobia (fear of wasps), simply because their sting hurts a lot. I heard so, never got stung by one in my life. The other animals, as long as they don't harass me, are okay. I fear the intelligence of animals, actually. Like they may have motives in their behavior, judge me, understand my mood and read my thoughts.
