Let's talk a little bit about phobias today!

in art •  8 years ago  (edited)

My wife @witchcraftblog recently started a blog on Steemit and now she writes about our trip to Italy. Preparing her post, she looks through the photos, that we have made during our trip. Among others, we came across a photo on which local mime grabbed  girl-tourist and tries to throw her into my arms. We were just passing by! My reaction is very well seen on this photo, since I HATE CLOWNS and everything connected with them. This is called coulrophobia. I`m not so afraid of them, but it`s close :)

RU:  Моя жена @witchcraftblog недавно начала свой блог на Steemit и сейчас она пишет про нашу поездку по Италии. Готовя свой пост, она просматривает наши фотографии, которые мы сделали в поездке. Среди прочего, мы наткнулись на фотографию, на которой местный мим схватил на руки туриcтку и пытается перебросить ее мне на руки. Мы просто проходили мимо. На фото очень хорошо видно мою реакцию, ведь Я НЕНАВИЖУ КЛОУНОВ и всё, что с ними связано. Это называется коулрофобия. Не то, что бы я их боялся, но всё-таки :)

This event made a deep impression on me. To cope with the stress that I have got, in the evening, I`ve took a sheet of paper and a pencil and drew this picture. I named it ATTACK of CLOWNS.

RU:   Это событие произвело на меня глубокое впечатление. Что бы справиться с полученным стрессом, придя в место нашего ночлега, я взял лист бумаги и карандаш и нарисовал вот эту картинку. Я назвал ее АТАКА КЛОУНОВ.

:))))

oh no, I can not accept such a sacrifice :)

I like that idea of drawing out your phobia. Not only are you coming to terms with your fear, but you're facing it in a nonthreatening way. Did it help you?

it was very helpful for that moment. but when I see even one lonely clown, for me it's always feels like on my drawing :)

Shit, now I'm afraid of paper, HELP! :)
Lifelong arachnophobic here.

you have a Papyrophobia and arachnophobia? how do you live with that? fortunately you are not an artist,
but you have a great photos!

I'm using photoshop... I just try to avoid painting any spiders or I'll get Photoshophobia too!

xD

Just so I do not remember what is my phobia, perhaps a little aerophobia, despite the fact that sometimes it is necessary to fly)

how do you deal with that @on0tole ?

cool, that 6 hours ago it was 2.30 at night in my city, I was aready asleep and havent seen your comment :)

oh sorry bro,I forgot about that, after thinking about it, i meant to delete that, i didn't mean to be mean !, sorry

I was going to follow up with a comment but I for got !, sorry

dont be, I wil survive, pictures of clowns are not so scary for me as clowns in flesh :)

I haven't been right with clowns since I read IT by Stephen King. Pennywise definitely ruined clowns for me. LOL
Do I have any phobias? Um... I don't think so - at least nothing that I would define as debilitating. I love the sketches though even if I won't be drawing clowns any time soon. :)

I like Stephen King, for exhample The Shining or The Dark Tower, I have read them not once, but clowns O_O there is something for me in them

I have a phobia of needles but rock climbing helps with it because if I can deal with a gash, I can deal with a prick :).

wow, you are very courageous I think!

ok with clowns, but not heights! when i see people hanging /climbing/walking across bridges/ peering over cliffs etc - my stomach lurches and I feel sick- cant do anthing that takes me up high- even swings! Flying - eyes shut and husbands arms full of nail imprints....

oh, its not cool, do you fly often?

yes ! husband works takes us away. Its the take-off that has me flapping and praying. Once up ok, but not by window seat...landing ok with, just thanking God for getting me back down safely.

poor @ladypenelope1 Im so sorry! hold on! :)
