It's not OP's fault she has a phobia! The whole definition of a phobic anxiety disorder is based on its irrationality -- and if OP's fear comes from some traumatic experience, she's not to blame for that either. Lose the ignorance. I'm sure nobody wishes this problem would go away more than she does. OP, is it possible for you to write this person a note and have someone give it to them? You might just tell them that you're sorry if they were hurt by what happened, explain that you have a phobia but are trying to resolve it, and say you hope they won't take this personally. Good luck. Given some time and work I know you'll be able to let go of this fear.

Your still a bitch though

OP- if someone brings it up again just say that you suffer from achondroplasiaphobia. Your in high school so chances are whoever is bothering you is going to have to go look it up and will realize that you are legitimately afraid of midgets. If they continue to bother you, don't worry about it because your in high school and jerks will always find something to pick on you about. Also, may want to consider explaining to your school counselor that you have this phobia and they may want to set up a meeting with the person so that they understand it's not personal reflection on their person, it's just something you can't help.

Why are people getting soo butt hurt over this? So she's scared of them. Leave her alone. Unless you're the person she offended directly, get over it. People take fml waaay to seriously. I just come on here to laugh and see the funny comments but when I see dumb arguements, it annoys me.

FYL, OP. You don't 'deserve it,' it's a damn phobia, and I can completely understand that.

wow, you're an asshole. It's not their fault, you bitch.

I wish everyone here telling OP she should "control" her reaction had to spend a week with a phobia or mental illness. It's not that I want to see them punished; it's that their lack of empathy is disturbing. Apparently there are people profoundly unable or unwilling to imagine how it might feel to be someone whose feelings aren't always convenient and whose actions aren't always inconspicuous. I can't use Jedi mind powers to stop having bipolar disorder any more than a girl with a form of dwarfism can think herself into growing. I have no intention of starting a contest over who's been dealt the worst genetic hand, and I certainly don't attest that I would win, but that's just the truth.

177 i can anwser why people are afraid of clowns cause they are scaring as **** and they should all die

Op is a bitch for being a liar midgets are not real

not all fears are rational. I bet at one point in your life you were afraid of something for no good reason! ~_~ and what if the midget really was literally disfigured?? we weren't there so we dont know, but he/she could have been missing a leg!!
