Is it weird that spiders don't bother me anymore?

Question

Like I don't want them crawling on me but I don't freak out at the sight of one like when I was younger. I honestly think they're cool little critters but like I said I don't like want them on my body. 😂 My biggest aversion is stinging flying insects. Wasps, hornets, horseflies, etc. They can all burn in hell. Bees are chill tho.

Spiders are cute and anyone who say's otherwise is lying to themselves!
Plus there factually good for environment and pest control and pretty much all harmless to humans it's very rare for any harm to actually be done.

The most dangerous ones in very specific area's often never result in anything due to Anti venom been quite effective. Then Black widows and daddy long legs are pretty much myths.
Black widows only cause harm in very rare cases were a person has an allergic response. Daddy isn't actually venomous at all but yet there is a myth that it is but it just cannot bite through human skin. But nah it's just not venomous.

The Daddy Long Legs I know are not poisonous. Are Daddy Long legs Poisonous?
There is a myth that states that daddy longlegs are the most toxic of all spiders, but their mouths are too small to inflict any damage to humans. This myth is false! They are not spiders and do not have venom so they are not poisonous. They have mouths similar to crabs or scorpions that allow them to catch and hold their prey in their jaws but cannot harm humans. They are mostly scavengers and will often feed on dead insects or decaying organic matter, but also eat garden pests like aphids.

Well it's quite easy to dislike most because most are pests. And centipedes eat spiders Grrr. Though they do eat cockroachs and other pests so i guess they take a win there.
Not really sure what to think of them really. Millipedes are more my go to from that kinda set of species just all around good.

I was just the opposite. I used to ride the tallest rollercoaster in the world, I worked on roofs and I loved to climb trees. Now I don't even like to go up a ladder to the second floor gutters. I do not know what happened to me.
It is cool you don't freak out about spiders.

@Daniela1982 No, it was the damndest thing. My son wanted to ride on a double Ferris wheel so I said I would go with him. He was 8 or 9 years old. When this thing started to go up I was suddenly frightened to death. I was holding onto the bar with one hand and one hand on my son. It was a white knuckle experience.

@Daniela1982 I did have a treehouse when I was a kid. It had a deck on the roof and I had an American flag on it. I went up in it during a hurricane to take the flag down. The thing probably should have been condemned and it was moving pretty good in the wind but I did not fall on my head.

I was never concerned about spiders, but since I moved to the Phoenix area 28 years ago, I still get a fright when I encounter a tarantula I didn't realize was there, usually in the garage.
