Feel help: Is it possible to be traumatized by something that should be completely normal and does not affect others? - Help.com

I think so, but I think it happens because you relate a simple everyday thing to something else traumatic.

Mostly such a normal event is linked in your mind with a similar one of the past (even if you don’t remember the situation), and this bygone one have had a traumatizing effect which no comes up again and again.

I think it depends on what you mean exactly. I have a similar thing about certain things that I see like a grey miserable day on a beach, or when a camera can show you what the world looks like upside down from someone who’s just jumped out of a sky diving plane’s point of view, it makes me very uncomfortable.

I have arachnophobia since I’ve been a litte girl, now, I’m 18, but even looking at a spider makes my heart wanna stop beating, I can’t stand this, while my friends don’t have the same thing, they may dislike spiders, but they’re not that afraid of those beasts .. I want ton know if there’s anything I can do to be stronger, and not act like a crazy just by seeing a little spider

My sister has the same thing she won’t even sleep in her bedroom if she knows there’s a spider in there, sometimes I see spiders (small ones) in the bathroom and I have to get rid of them before she goes in there otherwise she will literally freak out. I knew a girl who actually passed out just from looking at a spider, they’re very creepy it’s all those legs and how quick they move I think :/
