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.

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.

that's like saying you have a genuine fear of black people...you're generalizing an entire group of people. you're a bitch AND a bigot.

You're an idiot who doesn't know what "phobia" means. So if I have a few of snakes does that make me a bigot because I am generalizing a whole group of reptiles?

As usual, people look at phobias and say, "Wow, that person should just get over it." I'd love to just "get over" my phobia of fire!

I don't see how the OP deserves it here. I mean, it is a strange phobia... but there are a LOT of strange phobias that exist and are very real. I'm not the type to judge people so I don't doubt that this is a real phobia. When you have a phobia like that, it can be hard to control your emotions over that phobia. It doesn't automatically make them an asshole. Yes, OP can get help for it - and I do agree that he/she should. But still, it clearly is a real problem but I don't think it is fair for others to judge OP as a "bitch" when they clearly don't know or are ignorant of OP's phobia.

You can't always control what you are afraid of. I have a phobia of ants. Does that mean you people who hate the OP for fearing midgets are gonna hate me for fearing ants? It's something that we don't have control of.

Saying things like "I'm afraid of asians, blacks, red-heads, midgets" Is just plain descrimination.

For one thing they aren't referred to as midgets.
