maryrain tells us more.
I'm not saying that all midgets are disfigured. what I meant was that that particular person has an actual disfigured face. And yes, I do have a legitimate reason for my fear. I don't feel inclined to share that reason because then all of the people who already believe I was being an ass will still not agree with me. the last thing I wanted to do was hurt/insult her.

Sounds like a good time to restrain yourself and show a little respect for others, OP. How would you feel if someone burst into tears whenever they saw you? I'm guessing you wouldn't be too pleased. Don't let your phobia rule you!!
Why would people think bursting unto tears is making fun of the midget?
But making fun of them would be like laughing and pointing, not bursting into tears, clearly a sign of fear

How can u have a fear of midget?? Thats bullshit !
I'm deathly afraid of slugs . Everytime I see one I start screaming and crying and jumping around . So if I have a phobia of something as harmless as that, I can understand why it's possible for her to have such an ironic phobia .

there is still no point in putting disfigured into the FML, it makes you sound like a bitch, there is no reason for it, i don't care if your phobia is real or not like some people claim, putting you putting that in is still insulting to that person even if it was the last thing you wanted to do
There's a way to fix yourself, it's called exposure therapy. You will be methodically exposed to little people, closer and closer, more and more, until you are comfortable enough to be in the crush of a frolicking orgy of little people.
It's ok, you don't need to tell us your story. This reminds me of those movies where people have a "strange" phobia but it turns out they have some kind of scary story behind it. As a psych major, I know that phobias are meant to be irrational. That being said, exposure therapy may help in your case.
I guess it's just a matter of perception. Sorry about that OP.

Why the **** are you afraid of midgets?
13 - It's a strange fear but obviously there's a reason why she's scared of them. Also she probably can't control crying when she sees one. Think before posting another ignorant comment.
