Phobias

Lyndsay

Does anybody have any phobias? I detest clowns and, it sounds strange, but the sound of German language. I don't mean to offend anybody, but I can't listen to anybody speaking German. The person speaking could be the nicest person in the world, but I really can't stand to hear the language. Sometimes I feel so awful but I really can't help it. Also I can't stand clowns...There was a mime performing in the street and he had clown makeup on..I nearly screamed! I hate my phobias so much, I was wondering if anybody had a same phobia or any phobias at all!

  • I don't know if I would class it as a phobia but most forign languages bother me. Not so much French as I have a decent enough understanding of it to be able to understand the basics of what they are saying.

    I think it is because I constantly assume people are talking about me so being in another language just makes it worse. Last night I had to collect my partner from Bristol station. There were a lot of taxis waiting there and most of the drivers come from muslim countries. All of a sudden loads of them started shouting allahu akbar! and I was terrified, I instantly started my engine and was about to drive off but managed to control myself. It told myself that it was probably one of their birthdays or one of them had just had a baby. It was a very strange situation but was pleased I didnt just run away from it.
