i got a different phobia but it leads to a similar context. i have the fear of the dark but its gotten worse over the years since i hallucinate these figures at some points and it gives me the worst feeling of me being watched. if there is silence, it amplifies that fear since there is no sort of distraction and its harder to ignore it. its just something watching me from the darkness, staring at me. but its okay lmfao i can just turn on the lights and BOOM
