Don't be too hard on yourself! Remember, generations of our human ancestors survived because they developed aversions to bad things - like insects that could harm them. We just naturally shy away from things that move fast or startle us.

The best way to handle the scary situtation is with calm and clear thinking. The more times you meet up with a spider and keep your head - well, that just makes you more calm the next time too!

Being afraid is not "silly" - it is part of being human!
