You might not be very fond of your mother-in-law, but do you have a phobia of her? Some people do, and it’s called pentheraphobia.

phobias are stupid. People should just get over themselves.

So you don't have an irrational fear of anything at all?

Oh dear.
You are basically correct but you obviously know nothing of the human psyche.

Mines more of a phobatrivaphobia - the fear of trivia about phobias.

Since when did a phobia have to be newsworthy?

And given that a tiny spider can't hurt you in any way whatsoever, I'd say that being scared or startled by one is irrational.

I just think a lot phobia's are a loud of rubbish. Everyone can and gets startled by stuff.

Having a phobia of something != not liking it. Although having an actual phobia of your mother in law must be very rare.
