Search Results: over reacting fear

i was smoking a j with my friends in this secluded forest area of the local park and i hopped back over this wall we used to climb over first, but then suddenly i heard a dog barking aggressivly and i just turned to look at it and i could recognize what kind of dog it was but i couldn't tink of the name. that was what was on my mind. not the snarling English bull terrier that was about to eat me. my friends are still behind the wall, one of them is watching in shock (hasn't reacted like me) one is too small to see so he can only hear everything. suddenly the owner came round the corner like "it's alright he's friendly". then the dog started towards me and i didn't believe him. the fear started to kick in. but to my surprise he didn't try to rip my leg off so i just scratched his head and he buggered off. funny thing is, as soon as the commotion was over, that was when i started to panic. i was just mind-boggled how i couldn't process what just happened and how i didn't react. i started shaking and sweating in reaction to the humiliation i think, after passing the dog again.
after abotu 10-15 minutes i got this feeling tat i wanted to cry but i didn't beccause my friends were still there. is this normal?
what do you think happened?
if it's any help i have anxiety issues

So my girlfriends deathly afraid of spiders, like literally her number one fear, nothing else imaginable even comes close. Well, one morning while she was still asleep, i took a bunch of realistic looking rubber spiders and laid them all around her on the bed. Then i barrowed my friends real live taranchula (idk how to spell it), and dropped it right on her face to wake her up. Long story short, she was screaming and flopping around so much, i am surprised she is even still alive. She was trying to run with her socks on a wood floor and kept falling. I couldnt stop laughing at her, and now she's all pissed and ignoring me. I think she is over reacting...
