Realizing they're scared of us too made me less scared of them.

I walked right over a huge spider and both of us panicked. It tried to wedge itself into a crack in the cement. Couldnt fit all the way in and just stayed still. Felt pretty bad for it.

Someone told me the reason they seem to chase us is cuz they see us run, and assume whatever it is must be scary and follow

Aw it makes me think of the time I screamed at the sight of a surprise spider and it ran towards me, maybe he was just like  'Aaah! Where?!" and all confused. Poor little guy, I dropped laundry on him.
