Today, was the first day of my sophomore year. While receiving my schedule, I burst into tears at the sight of a disfigured midget. I'm now seen as the school bitch for making fun of a midget. I have a genuine fear of midgets. FML

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.

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.

YDI - your friends thinking you're a bitch. You are. Midget is a derogatory term, and it's very much like you just said "I'm scared of kikes but there was a kike at the store paying for his jar of olives with his kike money and I just cried because he's a kike." You ARE a bitch.

You are a bitch. Im 4ft 9in and considered a legal midget. whats so terrifying about that?

YDI for probably making that person feel like shit

I have a fear of midgets too. My started when I was a little girl and my father showed me Leprecaun. It's probably not a full blown phobia though.

People get phobias, not everyone has them or has found one that they have, but it is possible to have a fear of anything. It would just be offensive to list this fear and as such no one has made an official word. However, I know if I feel that anything touches the skin on my feet I will kick it with full force without a second thought cause of a nightmare I had when I was child, but as of yet I've not seen an actual phobia word to describe it.

the reason I am so afraid is because when I was very young I watched the lord of the rings movies and in an effort to scare me into behaving, my babysitter told me the hobbits would come after me if I wasn't good. she would occasionally hunch over and walk all crazy i

towards me using a strange voice. I had that babysitter for three years and it still scares the shit out of me to think about it. I mean no offense to any little people. I later apologized and she said she didn't even notice.

So, you had all that time leading up to your sophomore year to work on handling your problem, and didn't, and that you chose not to is intended to be taken as a factor outside of your control? A person with a phobia kind of owes it to themselves to find strategies to cope with it before entering a situation where it will occur. When that situation is "living on planet Earth", and the target of the phobia is a human being, they owe it to themselves AND to the rest of humanity. A paranoid schizophrenic cannot help being a paranoid schizophrenic, but if they understand they have a problem and decide to do nothing about it, the onus is back on them if they hurt someone emotionally or physically because of their problem. We all have problems. Adults take responsibility for them, or gracefully accept the consequences for not doing so.

Why R U afraid of midgets? They're still people! Just fun sized :)

Is that why you cried when you saw your boyfriend naked.
