Don't worry about this post getting too deep. It won't. This is a fun post about normal fears. I'm not gonna go into fear of dying or fear of not meeting standards. Those are far too deep for this Orange Friday (Go Broncos). I'm strictly going to discuss some of the most common normal fears and my feelings on them.
SPIDERS: This is a big one in my house. Half of the people in my house will scream and jump even if the spider is the size of a child's pinky finger tip. I'm a squish and flush kinda lady. I would love to say I'd catch and release the little arachnids I run into but I think I'd give someone a heart attack if I did. With that being said, the banana spiders in Florida that are the size of a fist scare the bejesus out of me. Tarantulas are neat when they're pets but I wouldn't want one as a pet nor do I want to run into one out in the open. Talk about heebie jeebies.
SNAKES: I grew up with garter snakes always around my house. Nasty creatures that plagued my childhood to make me scared to go outside. I lived in Georgia and had a king snake that made its home in my yard. It kept away the dangerous copperheads (for the most part). I learned to cope with snakes a bit more. I'm terrified of poisonous ones and I wouldn't want to own one in my home but I'm not afraid to touch them if someone else is holding them. They do creep me out when they're crawling around on the ground though. *shivers* They're fascinating to watch behind glass.
BUGS (IN GENERAL): Again, I'm a smoosh and flusher.
BEES/WASPS: This is a rational fear. I'm allergic. I don't freak out at bees, normally. I also don't swat at them generally. I understand their importance in this world and I think that they aren't generally aggressive creatures. Wasps are dirty, mean disgusting bugs. They sting fast and hard and they're aggressive. I'm terrified but have been known to take care of them if they get in my house.
ENCLOSED SPACES: I'm the first to admit I get overwhelmed when they're a lot of people in a small room but enclosed spaces in general don't bother me in the least.
HEIGHTS: Again, not an issue for me. Do they sometimes make me dizzy looking down, yes. Does it scare me, no.
So that's my fun Friday entry.....enjoy
