yeah, looking back, I'm surprised that it affected me that much. You never really know what could trigger a lifelong change in your state of mind. Specially wen you think about it. I have actual first hand experience of catching a spider, yet a movie with made up scenarios made me not trust my experience and drove me to be afraid of spiders for probably the rest of my life.
