Well I was born on the 11th day of the month that will remain confidential. You might already know which month but ever since I caused my sis to lose in games.

"Hi StrongBad, sometimes young people, who are very impressionable, may be told that these numbers are unlucky and should be avoided at all costs. If the young person believes whatever unscrupulous people tell 'em, its likely they might feel some fear of them. Hopefully, they can overcome it when maturing into more self-confidence and understanding."

Perhaps they are attaching some sort of superstitious significance to the number they are afraid of.

It is superstition.
It can be used for intimidation.
It is a man-made phobia. It is used as something to live by for some people.
Great question!
