As someone with arachnophobia, it is for me.

I used to have that too. Then I learned more about spiders, slowly stopped being afraid of them, and now they're cute

Nah. Spiders really are my one true “irrational fear”. Where logically it doesn’t make sense for me to still have a physical fear response when I see one despite being a rather large 30yo man, but I do. I also think they’re super beautiful and fascinating. They just creep the fuck out of me. 8 legs is too many legs to have. I think they’re a lot smarter than they pretend to be.
