Fear of Clowns My Story Since early childhood I have had one strange fear that still hasn t left me clowns I remember how in kindergarten we were invited to clown parties and I always hid behind my friends afraid that they would come up to me It seemed to me that their bright costumes and wide smiles were hiding something sinister The clowns looks full of fun seemed too strange and even frightening to me I could never understand why they were laughing when I was shaking with fear inside With age this fear should have subsided but alas it only got stronger Movies with clowns such as It added fuel to the fire Every time I see a clown on the screen or even in real life I panic I try to avoid circuses and parties where they might appear Sometimes I wonder where this fear comes from Maybe it has to do with the fact that clowns are such contradictory characters they are supposed to be funny and joyful but they often make me feel anxious Despite this I try to work on my fear Sometimes I laugh at myself and take steps towards my fears for example by watching comedy shows with clowns It s hard but I believe that one day I will be able to overcome this fear and maybe even love clowns And what about you Do you have any childhood fears that still haunt you
