Interestingly enough, I had a big fear of dogs. I don’t really know why because I’ve never had a traumatic experience with them (thank God I never got bitten).
I also feared being alone, darkness (but not much) and heights. Woah, I was a fearful kid.
Today, well, I only fear those big, aggressive dogs like kangals and rottweilers. As for darkness and loneliness, nah.
As an adult that’s honestly funny, but I could see myself also having the same fear.
yeah, there was a clerestory in my childhood home that had windows just the perfect height in my child-brain for a T-Rex to look though; unaccompanied nighttime journeys through those lofty halls were very harrowing.
