Strang Phobias...I know

I don't have a lot of phobias just a couple, but they are odd in themselves. One of the things that I have a phobia of is fingernail files. I hate the way they feel on your skin, nails anything. The surface feels like sand paper raking over the top of your nails. I don't like any style or kind. Just because it has butterflies on the surface doesn't make the feeling of cringing go away any time soon. My sister use to get my mother's fingernail file and run it across my bare skin, I would almost go limp because my body was so tense.

Another phobia that I have, and I know this is awful, but midgets scare me. I have a feeling that one day one midget might try to chase me, and if this happened I would die of a heart attack. I have never liked being chased. Even when I was younger playing hide and go seek I would almost pee my pants thinking someone would catch me. I never really knew I had a phobia of midgets until I was around them and I had the strangest feeling that they wanted to chase me. I know that I sound deranged, but its the truth.
I feel bad that I am this way because they can't help the way they are and its not the person I am scared of its their size. My friends make fun of me when I tell them about my phobias, but the thing is they probably have worse ones than I do. I especially get made fun of because I am afraid of midgets or little people. I try to get better about these phobias, but I do not know if they will ever change or go away. Hopefully one day they might.
