What do you think of me when I scroll down my phone, see an image of a spider, and that makes me use every fiber of my being to try to touch the screen again to get away from it?
It's weird. Why were you so afraid to scroll past it?
'cause I'm very afraid of spiders, and I'm afraid that it will jump to me.
Spiders scare me too I agree with you. But I don't think what you see on your screen is real, and I would tell the people that are posting those fake spiders to stop it because they're scaring some other people like yourself, and I would tell them that it is not nice to purposefully make other people feel afraid.
Yeah actually the pictures used for that prank can make people suffer from Arachnophobia. It is a rare condition that I found out when I got scared of a fake picture someone else posted of a spider.
I'm sorry you're suffering like that. Phobias can get quite debilitating. But, there are plenty of methods to get past it like exposure therapy you can check out.
