Too paranoid to sleep

[Tyler66]

Ok:

After I shut down my computer and went to bed. Just before I turned off the lights I hear a cracking sound. While looking at my cat I noticed she was looking at my poster behind my bed. I turn around to look at the poster, nothing. I turn back to my cat and back to the poster again. I hear the cracking sounds again from the poster, and on the corner of it I see black spider legs come out and touch the front of the poster. I loving SWEAR I was out of my bed and into the living room under 2 seconds (its a short hallway anyway).

There is my number 1 thing I am paranoid that is right next to BSoDs: Spiders. And if you didn't already know I hate spiders and yes, I am frightened by them too. I don't mind them if they are a "daddy-long-legs", jumping spider, in a container/box, or a image on a wall or screen. Why I am so paranoid? About a month ago I saw a spider for the first time in a long time and since then more and more have appeared and now I do not feel comfortable in my own room, better yet: my own house.

As I post this I am too paranoid to enter my room, I may have to sleep on the couch tonight, that is if I can without that thought engraved in my mind.

ts;dr: I don't like spiders.

I would mock you for being afraid of illusions made by the human brain, but instead I will do my best to comfort you with my... ahem... "logic".

Spider legs coming out the back of you poster would be ridiculous. Not only is there minimal space, but it would be a little tight to crawl out of.
If you mean that they were large legs, then don't be afraid. It's just your brain pulling tricks. If they were large, then the abdomen would be, so it would be ripping the loving poster off the wall by being there. If you meant they were normal-sized spider legs, then don't be afraid. You can easily squish a spider with a tissue or something if there is somehow a spider behind there.

Don't be paranoid. Be logical.

Get a shoe and smash the forget out of it, satisfying.

do you know anything about bugs
at all
I mean loving seriously
forgetass wasps can get into their tiny little nests through holes with a diameter of a pen
I'm pretty sure a spider can get under a poster
especially when taken into consideration that the poster is probably not against the wall like shrinkwrap

loving spiders

I think that would be a tight fit

unless you're Asian

I do, and I realize that they can get behind tight spaces, but I guess not everyone puts their poster up as tight as I do. I usually tack it down flush instead of sagging off the wall like peeling wallpaper. When posters are flush, I'm pretty sure that is a forgetton of pressure for a spider to move under.
Just sayin'.

Get loving bugspray and poison the stuff outta it

I'll go ahead and answer these:

I did have thoughts about it being trick on the brain instead of a real spider.

Its a loose poster, there is some space between the poster and the wall.

If you meant they were normal-sized spider legs, then don't be afraid. You can easily squish a spider with a tissue or something if there is somehow a spider behind there.

Hm. I may have a broom.

I will enter my room and post weather I saw it or not.
^{Still might sleep on the couch tonight anyway.}

[Tyler66]

Didn't see it.
Still paranoid.

pusillanimous individual
get over it and kill the damn thing, sheesh
I mean, if it were like a bigass african tarantula or some stuff, I could probably understand
but there aren't naturally many large spiders in urban areas
I have to deal with all sorts of bugs here
all bees and stuff just flying around on the field
damnit idgaf
I just keep my cool and wait for the damn thing to lose interest

[Azerath]

Lights, search the area. Even if it's not in sight (if there was anything there to begin with) it is...
A. Probably harmless.
B. Probably won't care about you, so you don't really have to worry a lot about it running up and intentionally biting you.
C. Possibly not even a spider?

Not really sure, but I see lots of spiders in my room. I usually leave them alone and they're gone after a while.
