Does anyone else here have eisoptrophobia (fear of reflections) or spectrophobia (fear of mirrors)? (piefed.social)

Hello! Recently, I've been grappling with worsening eisoptrophobia (fear of reflections), and I was wondering if anyone else has this issue. I also seem to have spectrophobia (fear of mirrors), which is distinct, but I think I have both.

Forgive me if this is the wrong community to post to, I could not find a broader community focused on phobias, or a community for either of these phobias.

Yeah. I've never thought about that before.

Things like this don't manifest in a vacuum. If you have the means to talk to a therapist about it, they might be able to help you unpack it.

Be well, friend.
