Growing up was not an easy, we faced different situation and continued to be strong and continued growing, when growing up most of us have phobia about one thing or the other, and being afraid is not a sign of weakness, most of us may has as well experience one fear on the other in the past and we still overcome it, so looking at some who has phobia or is afraid of something in a wrong way makes it pook like we ourselves are perfect and because of this we need to avoid such.
As a child I was afraid of both heights and dark, although most people are afraid of the dead but one don't affect me much and I don't clearly know why I fear darkness and heights more than the dead. The fear of dark is referred to as nyctophobia, which is a situation where one fears the dark and most times anxiety or stress can contribute to this type of fear. And the fear of heights is referred to as acrophobia and it has to do with one being afraid of heights and can not climb high places due to fear and if the mistakenly climb high places the will never wish to look down out of fear 😨.
I have grown with this fears and although I have overcome it but I still find myself being afraid of this things in some cases, during my childhood this fears the were part of me and I grew up with them. I don't like going to high places , like I remember clearly my first time visiting my uncle, he leaves in the third floor when we went there it was very difficult for me to climb to the third floor, i experience a high level of fear that particular day, and that fear affected me a lot, i can't stop thinking about what happened that day,is just an experience that seems hard to forget.
When it comes to the fear of dark, I always fear darkness because I think that there is always a ghost in the dark and in my head I think that I can see someone standing in front of me while by there's no one in my front and this happens to me all the time and because of that I can't stay alone in the dark, I will either stay with someone or have a light in that room, this is the only reason that can make me stay in side during the dark times. Feeling that a ghost or spirit was with me or is following me was just what I was facing in the dark during my childhood. But now I no longer have such fears and I have also learned that the dead can't harm the living, when someone is dead, the are dead and the can't function again, even if there's something like ghost, they will not harm innocent people, the will only harm the evil ones or those who killed them and that's how it is.
