At least you tried to overcome your fear. Don't listen to the people who laughed at you.

Exactly OP, you tried :) you'll probably never even see those people again.

Everyone knows everyone in Australia!

Why would you try to face your fear of swans? You probably don't interact with them that often. I don't see how it would interfere with daily life and therefore be significant enough to be proactive about. You basically just went to the park to scare yourself.

Really 52? She went to scare herself? Maybe she lives by a lake where swans are frequent visitors, or maybe she just wanted to not be scared of something anymore. It's called facing your fears for a reason.

As bad as it sounds, I would've laughed myself. Watching a swan chase somebody has got to be funny

At least your sister didn't take advantage of your fear to get herself tickets.

I like the taste of humans over bread too!

I like your profile pic, bro.

Birds aren't always so nice.

Especially in Australia. Everything down there is trying to kill you!

Woah dude. Lookin sexy in that picture

Same to you, 76! I commented that I liked your profile pic on your comment up there ^ but it got deleted. FMC. (Fuck my comments.)

You all think koalas are cute and cuddly... Til you meet their twin species. Never go here. Drop bears long for the taste of tourists.

That'swan unfortunate situation.

Booo. that was bad. I would have said the same.

So it was bad, but still you would've said it? Butthurt much?

Dem stupid puns

Swans have long necks, so they're very easy to strangle. They're also delicious when served over pasta.

Lololololol

Yeah but they can break a grown man's arm with their wings. Also, have you taken a look at those beaks? Hint: not. nice.

I'm assuming a swan has tried to attack your before, since it's a fear. It's okay though, OP. I heard swans were mean as hell, so why even bother? It's not an animal you have to associate with like a pet, so just do your best to stay away.

They are mean as hell. Fuckers will chase you down. My grandma laughed her ass off at my brother and I running away from them when we were young. I learned just to grab them by the neck and give them a toss. They'll come back but if you hold your ground they'll eventually stop attacking. God damn swans..

Swans are freakin mean! I use to think geese were the ones to be scared of but even the geese are scared of swans. Not to mention that swans are HUGE!

I'm so scared of birds, when I was 6 a 20 lb Turkey knocked me down and jumped on top of me.......Asshole bird

Haha the turkey must've thought you looked like a dinner table!

I don't blame you, I was chased by a very angry mother turkey one time. I was out in my garden and saw what I thought was a bird on the ground. I got closer, next thing I know mama turkey is chasing me.

It takes a lot of balls to stand up yo your fears, To be truthful if they ran at me I'd probably run away like a school girl too,, so don't knock yourself over about it! You'll be feed geese and large birds in no time

Swans are mean. Screw swans.
