I'm the opposite, I see one and I am creeeeeeped out.

I tried doing what Cool Kitty did today once at a zoo, but IDK (I don't know) I was uncomfortable. Although I would much rather try to do something like that in a controlled environment, than seeing one out in the wild.

If I see one in the wild, that's probably a giant NOPE from me, and I'm walking the other way.

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet,Eating her curds and whey, when

Down came a spider and sat down beside her, and

Say this often enough and you will be able to lift them out of the bath.

Did it they feel like you thought they would . I remember the first time I held a tarantula they feel very light like you can hardly feel them moving it was a strange feeling

Here's my question to you.

If this was a class project at school, was it mandatory or voluntary to do this?

.

I know when I was in HS I needed to take biology, and it was required to cut open different things. Which I wasn't a fan of doing, and would have subbed that class out for something else if I could.

Ok so umm i cant handle pythons i would tremble with fear . I can only handle small snakes i only touched a snake once and i got over my fear of snakes by doing that at least thats what i want to think 🤣

"I can only handle small snakes"

But that's cool, and give yourself credit for that. (which with our personality type is easier said than done)

.

You know what's funny, there's a lot of times that we can't give ourselves credit for doing something positive. (I know I mess that up a lot)

We say things like, "Oh it was nothing, or no it wasn't a big deal".

Yet.. When somebody else (with the same personality type) hears it, they are more likely to chime in with, "No it was a big deal, and you should be proud of yourself".

& Hence one of the mannnny reasons why I like support groups. :)

I seriously should give myself more credit but i don't like to for some reason

AnxiousSilver profile image
AnxiousSilver in reply to Hb2003

I understand.

*speaking for myself here*

For me, it's probably part anxiety and part self esteem issues.
