A fear of fear

55% Normal
5 Comments

I'm afraid of anything that could possibly scare me. It started when I read this horror book called "it". It made me think of what it means to be afraid and it really frightens me. It's like I'd go downstairs and it's dark so I'd think " don't get scared, don't get scared... " and the thought of being scared makes me afraid. It makes me think "if I'm afraid then my fears might come true" am I the only one? I think of anything that could possibly scare me and I would get really scared. And I know for a fact that some demon doll or killer clown won't appear but I still get afraid. It's so irrational that I question if it's normal.

    A clown might actually appear. In my neighborhood last year someone found a clown sleeping in their attic.

    It's common to have general anxiety. Ask for help when it gets in the way of having a normal life.

    Maybe on some level you enjoy being scared.

    Remember whatever is there when its dark is the only thing that is there before the lights went out, nothing more...
