I know having a phobia of spiders is more common than a phobia concerning shipwrecks, but I have gotten teased many times over it. Because "spiders are so tiny! They're more scared of you than you are of them!" No, they aren't. I have never once heard a spider scream in terror when it saw me coming, but the reverse is definitely true. Besides which, a phobia is literally a fear that cannot be explained. It's irrational and panic-inducing. That's why they call them that. So fie on anyone who can't understand being afraid of something even if it SEEMS unreasonable to them!

I was also interested in wrecks (hey, sometimes we're fascinated by what terrifies us the most)

See, people have poked fun at me over my love of Anansi and the fact that I play him, a GIANT SPIDER, in the RP. Yes, giant spiders do freak me out terribly. But this is my way of dealing with it. The character itself has actually helped me a lot in not being as terrified. So I know how you feel. :)
