MY FEAR OF SPIDERS

Hello readers, it is another edition of weekly featured content titled "your most hated thing". I think we can both agree that this is an unusual subject, not everyday you get the chance to talk about stuff like this openly but let's dive straight into it without wasting words.

It is a usual attitude of every human to have something or someone or an event they hate the most, which is usual based on their personal experience or some life Tragic events. My case is kind of different, the mere thought of it I could feel goosebumps all over my body😂.

I'm not the type that enjoy being vulnerable, I try to keep my weaknesses to myself as much as I can because I realise humans tends to take advantage of such things and manipulate it to their own advantage, some even have fun while doing it.

I discovered this some years ago but it was never the case until I watched a movie called "The mummy". it is some kind of horror movie in a way, one of our maternal cousin Mr Segun brought home on his way back from work, I was around 11 years old. the movie started great until some horrific things started happening. The part that creeps me out the most up till this moment is the part where two individuals stumbled upon a cave, it looks like a maze, in the cave there were different segment filled with dangers, in one segment in particular the two individuals mistakenly stepped on a skeleton or something and this spiders gushed out and ate their flesh, you could see how they were feasting on the flesh until all that remains on them is just skeleton.

The spiders spread across the whole city, in hotels and restaurants and the way they were destroying both lives and properties with their fangs and venom was disastrous. I knew it was just a movie but my brain interpreted it differently. I have never really like spiders, just like every other pest with many legs, I detest them a lot but after watching that movie my fear for spiders just upgraded.

The funny thing is the only person that knows in the family about my hatred and fear for spiders is my elder brother because fear of such pest and animals is not a big deal especially in my family. for example my two maternal female cousins have two things they fear the most, cockroach and chickens (especially the native ones). I found such thing to be so ridiculous that I chased those children with chickens a lot of times😂, I just couldn't handle the awkwardness of someone fearing such an inferior animal, I never knew how it felt but immediately I found out about my fear of Spiders, I had to keep it a secret especially from my female cousins, I can't afford to be chased around by spiders though I deserved it😂😂.

Does it not sound ridiculous?😂, well that is mine, let's hear about yours.
