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.

Did it have only half a nose? The Queen will pay good gold for its head.

Everyone who thinks she's a bitch clearly don't understand phobias. They can be extremely irrational and uncontrollable. She didn't try to be rude or disrespectful, she just can't help it. FYL.

I used to have a huge phobia of midgets. I always felt bad for having it, because I know they can't help it, and I know they're just like everyone else, just short. I've learned how to control my reaction. I suggest you do too(:

My mom is terrified of midgets, which is ironic seeing as she is only 4'11 and I guess that is only a few inches away from being considered a legal midget.

Blah blah phobias are real, but you're not going to get sympathy from anyone if you refer to little people as "midgets". Many people in the little people community think of this word as being akin to the N word.

Phobia or not op should have been more considerate. If it bothered her that much she should have turned around and walked away. You can get therapy to help you with your "phobia" but he cannot get therapy for being handicapped. Scared or not that was totally disrespectful.
