Phobias can be various. And of course something may trigger that fear.  |
| Don't be scared to look high up. |
I was scrolling my YouTube and found this calm, sweet video of a guy, Sam who had fear of looking up. He was bullied by his friends as he was a short boy in school (and still is). Since then, he always wear a cap, with the fear to even turn his head upwards.
Watching the video make me realized how grateful I should be, for not having it. It is quite sad if I'm not able to see the sky (as this is what I love to do the most). There are so many things that people with anablephobia can't enjoy. T_T
- Sunset or sunrise
- Rain / snowfall
- Rainbow
- Firecrackers
- Aircraft's performances
- Birds flying
- Hot air balloon
- Etc......
And, an important thing while communicating with others; the faces of people. I love eye contact when talking to people.
The video is very long, to be honest. Watch if you want to :)
To escape fear, you have to go through it, not around
I learned this.
I think I shared that I have fear with the traffic lights turning red from green. It is not that I have fear with the red color, as I don't have problem with blood and I saw lots of surgery and bleeding so far. I just don't like the feeling of being in the middle of the road with traffic lights changing colors.
Yeah, it may be weird to some people. Even though I am just a passenger - like I'm taking the bus somewhere, wondering why I still have that fear.
Trying to change, I will breathe more every time I saw the traffic lights. I will try to keep calm and don't rush towards it. After few times using the same road, I managed to see the patterns of traffic. And even, I can roughly calculate how many seconds before the light changing colors. :)
Haha. Suddenly I miss traffic lights in Malaysia where there are countdown numbers.
------------------------
I read somewhere that people with this problem don't like to be in the middle of two things. Not sure to agree with it or not, but making a decision is quite hard for me nowadays. Especially decision where other people involved as well. I was firm with my decision before, but it didn't feel good when other people not satisfied with it. I know I can't fulfill other people's hope all the time, but still.....
There is no ideal decision made by all of us, all the time right?

Buat je ikut plan sendiri asalkan tak langgar syarak.
