From this slideshow, one can learn a few interesting things about the phobia of clowns (coulrophobia).

1. COULROPHOBIA – WHAT IS IT?
There are many phobias.
In fact, VERY many.
Much more than you can ever imagine.
But one of them is SO unusual that…
I think, it is worth mentioning in this slideshow.
What I mean here is PHOBIA OF CLOWNS.
In the present slideshow, I will tell you a little bit about this strange phenomenon.

2. So, as I mentioned before, this phobia is – or at least may seem – very unusual.
WHY SO?
Because clowns are supposed to entertain people.
SO, HOW CAN ONE BE AFRAID OF THEM?
Still, such a phobia exists.
And if it exists, there should be a reason for this fear.
WHAT is this reason?
WHAT are the origins of this phobia?

3. As it happens, the origins of this fear can be found by observing small children.
The fact is that
CHILDREN ARE VERY REACTIVE
TO A FAMILIAR BODY TYPE WITH AN UNFAMILIAR FACE.
Clowns are very similar to ordinary people,
BUT STILL THEY DIFFER – AND THAT PROVOKES FEAR.
That’s why most children DON’T LIKE CLOWNS.
We all were once children, so some of us can be afraid of clowns.

4. There are TWO MORE REASONS apart from the aforementioned one.
The first one is that NOTORIOUS EVIL CLOWNS in literature and real life
contributed to adults’ dislike of clowns.
As for the second reason, it is as follows:
the behavior of a clown is somewhat ANTI-SOCIAL -
and it can create feelings of unease.

5. Finally – just in case – I’d like to suggest you
a method of stopping anxiety, fear or panic attacks.
Because you may suffer from the phobia of clowns –
or from some other phobia.
And acute anxiety that sometimes take place when somebody suffers from a phobia
is not a pleasant thing at all.
