People need to remember that this has always been a part of her character. Everyone has issues and fears, and even if some of those fears are ridiculous to other people, they might be the most terrifying things to others. You can roll your eyes when people freak out over spiders, but there are some who are absolutely phobic.

Nobody seems to care when Fluttershy is self concious because she's "the cute one", but when Twilight's fear surfaced here it was "stupid."

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Twilight and all the others have their fears. It's part of their character.
