And you, do you suffer from Coulrophobia?

Coulrophobia is the fear of clowns and pampering .Characters usually associated with laughter, relaxation and amusement raise for many people an authentic panic as acute as irrational.The truth is which is something that is curious to study, because every year there are more people diagnosed with this phobia.Famous people like Johnny Depp declare themselves authentic Coulrophobic , personalities who would flee if a Clown with all her makeup and her broad histrionic smile.

The increasingly high fear of clowns

They have a lot of makeup, which always starts with a white background where A smile emerges from an igneous, exaggerated, very exaggerated red, chasing us insistently with his almost manic laughter.His eyes appear immense and c so out of their orbits, with a front of prominent entrances that end up bursting in a bristly hair of bright colors.We are scared of his painted and false smile, as if far from making us happy he wanted to tear us from our tranquility to take us to the tunnel of terror of a amusement park.Where to torture us, where to devour every child to submerge them later in the pit of the most horrific nightmares.

This may be what all those who suffer from Coulrophobia feel.People who claim that Since childhood they felt a certain restlessness towards clowns and pampering.Sometimes, this phobia also joins a phobia of porcelain dolls.Perhaps it is that unpredictable mask where you cannot guess emotions. Where warm laughter scares, and makeup frightens.

Curiously, scientists explain to us that this fear rose especially in the 1990s, when Stephen King published his lib ro "It" (That), and was then adapted to the cinema.The plot and the clown malevolo that starred it became an authentic icon of terror that was forever imprinted in the minds of many.Little by little it became a cult miniseries that have caught later generations in that same terror.Those clowns who, when they smile, remind us of the one who taught a mouth full of sharp teeth and eyes the color of blood, that frightening being that froze from panic to infinity of parents and children who have not yet been able to free themselves from the spell.

And you, do you suffer from Coulrophobia?

If you are one of those who suffer from Coulrophobia, you should know that there is a specific therapy to free us from this panic.It would simply be to rationalize the fear, to get closer little by little to the innocuous figure of the clowns to see the actor behind all that makeup and that is intended to tear us a simple smile through a funny gesture or an easy joke.

And you, do you also suffer from Coulrophobia?
