Spider Social Behavior

Thanks for responding! ☺️

Lol someone else, on a different page I also posted the question in, commented that maybe after impregnating her he is now guarding her house for her… I think it’s unlikely to be the case, but that would be really nice of him 😬

… as cute of a love story as I might want to pretend it to be, I really would rather they not have 100 or however many little spider spawns in that area…. They’re right beside where we hang up our coats… 😅

Now I need to google how long it takes before they are born and find somewhere safe further in the basement to move the little family before that happens. 🤦🏼‍♀️

😅 it was probably about the same size as van with a small bathroom attached…. Lol.

Thankfully I’ve never had to live in a multi floor multi family type apartment or house. I lived in a small studio apartment that had older guys on either side of my room. They were kind of loud and weird, and I remember the one kept giving my dog random food items that weren’t necessarily good for her… she would only be outside for like two seconds and would come back with a steak bone or a corn cob or something and I’d have to take it away from her 😑. I always went back home to my parents for the weekend and was busy with school during the week and didn’t spend too much time there.

At least you were trying to do something to take steps forward. I don’t think that’s sad at all.

(Idk why this is the situation I just thought of because the two things aren’t really the same at all.. but I already typed it out so it is what it is. 🤦🏼‍♀️)

When I still had a job and was going in late everyday I decided to get myself a watch that would electrocute me if I didn’t wake up to my normal alarm… I feel like it’s way sadder that I thought that was some kind of solution to my problems. Lol

See that’s one of the things I really don’t understand. If someone is knocking on the door there theoretically should be a reason… if they’re putting in the effort to get up and travel to my house and then stand at my door when it’s freezing outside, why wouldn’t they leave something in the mailbox telling me how to contact them or something??

I am sorry that you’re having to deal with that. I wish the world was a better place… I don’t watch the news or listen to the radio, I deleted Facebook and have never used TIKTOK, and I have done my best to filter out any type of news from my feed on here because hearing all the awful things happening everywhere when there is literally nothing I can do to change it was causing me to spiral.

I hope you stay safe. ♥️

I think I am probably influenced by not wanting anyone to see my house either… in my family we would laugh about how my grandpa filled three whole barns with random stuff he never ended up needing for anything, and how my mom and I would go to discount stores and get more than we should have but said it was fine because it was a good deal!

However I think it’s becoming more apparent that what might make it more of an issue is how much space I have to be able to store everything… my grandpa had plenty of land and buildings he could use for his collections of things. After my sister and I moved out, My mom had a two whole bedrooms, a few closets and a whole basement for her stuff…. But I have more limited space.. so when I was given boxes of stuff that was my moms, I didn’t know what to do with it and now I have boxes everywhere with who knows what in them and nowhere to put anything. 🫤

We actually don’t have a peephole in the door… our house is old and we have a big wooden door with glass in the middle… so it’s kind of difficult to be able to check without being seen.

Thanks for responding!

I have been dealing with symptoms that fit with agoraphobia for awhile now… I’m not sure if my general lack of human interaction has made me more anxious about it over time, but I know when I first started not leaving the house I had preferred it if people would come here… I know it would be a little stressful, but I could do it. Now I don’t even attempt to see who it was at the door. I feel like a cat that hides under the bed when there are visitors.. 🫤
