Phobias [Merged]

I was just wondering - how do people cope with phobias? I've always been afraid of the dark - I always have to have the landing light on and my door wide open. Then I went to Normandy for three days last month and had to share the room with my brother - and he insisted on the light being very firmly off. The first night was horrendous, the second wasn't too bad, and the third was fine. Back at home now, I can hardly have any light coming into my room at all because its too bright - I just have my curtains open a crack to let in the street light.

Does anyone else have a situation like that?

*raises hand* That's happened to me before with practically the same thing. I used to be so afraid of having no light in my room, and then one time when my grandma came over, she slept with me in my room (I got to sleep on the floor. Whoop de do.) and she cannot go to sleep with any lights on, so I was forced to sleep in the complete darkness. But after she left, I found that I can't go to sleep with a light on now, too...I can't even stand when the light from the room next to mine is coming in through the crack in the door. 😕

im so glad ive never been scared of the dark 🙂 my room always has to be pitch black for me to sleep

Im terrified of the dark fear

I have dislexia and it causes me to see things move in the dark

I get so scared that one time I passed out

I always have to have the light on
no if and or buts about it

I have Lygophobia, meaning i'm terrified of the dark

Lets see.. I am scared of heights, spiders, snakes, not sure how to spell it but those things in stores with clothes on they are fake people Maniquines(that's my guess how to spell it),I wouldn't say afraid but nervous a jittery and maybe a little afraid around large amounts of people it' called social phobia/anxiety.There's more but can't remember them right now.

I don't like Mannequins much either - I always think they've moved when I look back at them!

*cancels joke where I startle Phoe when dressed as a Mannequin* 🙁

yerss:

was that you???!!?? 😱 you even had a better bum than me in it 😒 generous as always, huh? nah, you just keep it, I wouldn't ruin such a historic friendship 😉

uhm ... yeah .. sure ... *sneaks in salad leaf in a chocolate bar* just using my normal pillow, and it's pretty nice 😊 yes, but now I'm back, longing for massage more than ever after that heavy back I dragged around 🙁 thank god. I may rest in peace 😊 it's a code of unimaginable evil 😱 no wonder you like it ...

(true. the shark from jaws could have learned a lot ..)
(how do I know?? if you wore one of your dresses, you'd be impossible to recognize!! 😱 )

Line:

you didn't saw my great measurements? hey, I got an ass that doesn't quit 😉 in other words, you don't want it huh 😛

silly you! you don't make friends with salad ... and I hope it doesn't ruin the taste 🙁 really? ow that's so sad... do you have a straight back ? no "dent" in it or something? 😖 I want some rest too, deadtired 🙁 tom cruise or life? 😛 I like every eatable thing silly ...

(can he eat you at once?)
(but now you exect it)

yerssot:

must have overlooked those ... the days of miracles are not over yet 😛 like the duracell bunny 😊 you DO read between the lines!!! 😱 I'm so proud! *pinches your cheek*

so you say - I'm here to disprove that!! it does, otherwise, where'd the fun be?? nah, my back's pretty straight. still works and all 😉 or perhaps a bit more bendy than before ... still the studies taking all your energy? aw, dear ... *hugs* both. marzipan included! you should spread that good will on un-eatable things to! like ... people 😛

(no intentions of finding out. afraid of dark rooms, see. ah! phobia 😱 )
(not really ... I'm a very naive person who thinks men wear trousers 🙁 )

Line:

but are they devine? 😛 they should be killed 🙁 you mean I finally mastered it ???? watch it! it hurts!

well, start disproving ... why should there always be fun involved?? and enough muscles? 😖 one of these days you gotta learn how to be bendy too... I can't help it, it will be over soon I hope ... but marzipan can't be evil since it's so good... life isn't ... you think people aren't eatable? oh, how wrong are you 😛

(but others here have said that you can battle that phobia! 🙂)
(don't watch batman or spiderman then 😛)

yerssot:

of course they are! I produce them myself 😊 what did they do to you?? is it a ... phobia?? 😖hifty: this one at least, and that's a start!! hey! you're a man! what does a wee lil bit of pain mean to you?? 😛

all my friends eat salad. there!! disproved!! why should'nt there? 😑 plenty of muscles!! 😄 don't see any urgent need for that to happen 😖 hopefully. it's been taking too much of your time. they ought to give you some back! I actually had some marzipan yesterday, so I'm in a bit of a strange mood ... maybe I'm mutating 😱 I'm ... wrong??? 😖 oh ... please never never ever watch the silence of the lambs again. thatta boy ...

( phoenix, right? maybe I should ask her how much she charges for a bit of therapy ✅ )
