How many people have that one thing they are terrified of? I am talking huge fear; it could put you into the fetal position in ten seconds flat. Well I would consider a fear this big to be a phobia… although the true definition of phobia has a bit more to it. And yes, I have looked up the definition of a phobia before, mainly because I am pretty sure I have one, Coulrophobia to be more exact. Coulrophobia is the fear of clowns. And as I have said before, I have researched the term phobia. To be considered a phobia, you must not only fear the thing in question, but also realize that, to some extent, the fear is irrational. I completely see that being afraid of clowns is downright silly; what could they possibly do to me besides make me laugh? Well to be honest they do not make me laugh, but they do make me cry. I cannot be around clowns not matter how safe it may seem, I cannot do it. My friends find this hilarious and have helped make me cry quite a few times actually. We go to haunted houses and men with chainsaws do nothing but annoy me. You make me go through one with nothing but clowns and I am grasping the nearest person’s arm screaming and crying. On one such occasion, my friends (being the awesome people they are) decided to tell the clown my name. It followed me around touching my shoulder and whispering my name. I lost it and was practically hysterical. Any time I hear circus music I start to shake and my heart races. I know it is an irrational fear but I cannot shake it.
Oh and props to anyone who knows where I got the quote for this title without searching for it:) hahahaha
