Phobias are defined as an "irrational fear" of something. "Man up, boy!" or "face your fears!" are replies by people with no empathy and who don't realize that this is an actual condition that isn't solved by "oh just don't be afraid!" If it were that simple, we wouldn't be in this situation. I have what I'd call mild arachnophobia, where I get emotionally freaked out by them and get uncontrollable itchiness, but I know of people who have it so bad where they vomit if confronted by spiders. The fact that this post was downvoted and a lot of your replies about having arachnophobia were downvoted as well shows that people don't realize how extreme phobias can be.
