Thank you, I never knew this world: "Catagelophobia: fear of being ridiculed;" now I learn something new. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Thank you for this, I consider myself reasonably articulate, but some of those phobias you listed in your initial list of such were unpronounceable, the sounded like a town in a Welsh town, heh heh. Yes truth is an interesting one, but I don't think if someone is ugly you tell them so, or publicly ridiculing them, which violates the law of respect, mmmh difficult, thanks for sharing, well done, blessings Roy

Roy, I couldn't pronounce them either. Thanks for reading and commenting.

The lead-in with the phobias works very well. Your story is horrifying, but the connectors make it work. Honestly, I feel a bit nauseated, so you told it well. No wonder you have a fear of telling the truth. gayla

Thank you, Gayla, for reading and commenting. I appreciate it. I guess I don't realize how bad it is until someone reacts to my telling.
