Clowns-fairly normal
Balloons-i hate them with a passion , they fill me with fear, not completely irrationally, but if one floats towards, i make a hasty retreat!

things like burning to death or something scares me or falling off a cliff, i think it is the fact i know i was gonna die and was just waiting to hit the ground!

Wouldn't be so bad if I was a BIT afraid of clowns, but its panic attack, hypeventilating, crying time when I get near one.

I think there is a special name for the fear of clowns.What is it that makes you frightened ? Is it the garish make-up ?

You can't seriously look at what that fella in the clip does and not feel a bit afraid surely...

There's a long and complicated story as to why which no one wants to hear, but yes, there is a name for a fear of clowns, its Coulrophobia

See, I'm thinking my support group idea is getting better and better. When I went for an op when I was younger in the childrens, they didn't tell me there was 6ft bloody clowns all over the walls so when they took me down to theatre, all doped up, there they were. I nearly screamed the place down.

It's not so much a 'phobia' but i can't bare touching the stuff.
It goes back to when i snapped my two front teeth as a nipper, the hospital got me to bite down on a wad of cotton wool and the exposed nerves came in contact with it.
It gives me the jitters just thinking of the stuff now

alleroony
17-03-2007, 14:23

I can totally understand that, it's like biting on wool [shudder]

I hate insects, especially spiders and flies :gag: Daddy-long-legs are awful too, they're like a combination of both of them. I have to take a look around my bedroom before going in it... for some reason, spiders think of it as a breeding ground.

I have a (improving) phobia of puke. Not because I think I'll catch something as I've never been sick myself but I just know when it's there. Ugh!

I also have a very strong dislike of spoons that taste metally. Oh, and lolly sticks. Jesus, it makes me cringe!

Oh, this thread is sooooo funny! How I laughed at this link but also gasped in horror as I've seen the film and read the book IT which if you didn't have a fear of clowns before you would after reading that!

I think it's a common fear I've got loads including having loose teeth, earwigs and spiders, the great big brown ones that lurk at the back of the garage (black ones aren't so bad) and I hate anything to do with zombies! oh, and I also hate wooden lolly sticks, the thought of that makes me shudder....
