“I think [opinion] because [argument]”
Just in this case your opinion was just implied by your argument.

You’re taking this very seriously antiseptic boy :p

That’s where we can agree on.
Hence the “irrationally grossed out” part. It’s not a controlled thing, I’m not choosing to feel grossed out, I just do. So you can understand that your reply was akin to telling an arachophobe: “You’re probably a city dweller that’s never been to the countryside, we have them everywhere there”. It comes off as arrogant and know-it-all.
I have nothing personal against you though.

Oh psh, everybodies house is full of spiders and other friendlies. Also you can treat phobias unless they’re extremely severe.
So yes, an arachnaphobe probably hasn’t worked with spiders :p
I’m significantly afraid of heights, like woozy standing on a chair fear, hasn’t stopped me doing maintenance on a roof or riding all the horrifying giant drop rides/cross canyon flying foxes etc I come across. Fear doesn’t stop you doing stuff, you just have to do it scared.
