I have this thing about the mirror......

Question

Firstly I don't have a mirror in my room because of various reasons. When I was little, I have seen alot of ghost movies and some of them were mirror related. Like there was this old movie where the girl was looking at the mirror and saw something behind her back. Also if you have seen prom night you will know what I mean. I just hate the mirror. I used to have a mirror in my room but every time I wake up I would quickly look away from the mirror because I"m afraid to see something looking back at me. I also hate going to public washroom because of the same reason. I just HATE mirror. Is there anyway to help me over come this fear?

Oh and when I was little, I have heard of this story about bloody mary appearing in the bathroom or something...? Omg my friends said if you say her name 11 times and she will appear, that totally freaked me out. I didn't go to the bathroom without bringing my mom with me. Ofcourse I overcame this fear now but I'm still afraid. Btw i'm 18 and yes I shouldn't be afraid at this age but I can't help it!!

Answer 1

Awww, don't worry s**y... the boogey man really does not exsist and you are allowing your imagination to get the best of you.  Then again, I can't sleep unless my closet door is shut (I am 23 yrs old!!!).  Maybe we both need grow up a lil.

When I was a little girl, my brother made me watch Poltergeist 2 or 3. Idk it was the one about the guy in the mirror & he told me if I was "bad" he was going to send me to the other side to live with Mr. Kane. He also told me if I told my mom he would tell his GIRLFRIEND bloody Mary to come get me, by saying her 3 times! I'm 21 I hate mirrors as well. My husband will sometimes go into the restroom and cover the mirror for me because I get scared. People are afraid of all kinda of things because of childhood In fact my husband is 6' 2" 290 pounds black guy  is afraid of dolls (he had older sisters) don't worry too much just try not to look in them that's what I do good luck  

Answer 4

ha, I have the same phobia as you!!  I used to play bloody marry, though, that is the difference.  I have seen things like on youtube and stuff where there are ghosts in the mirror or something.  I don't have a mirror in my room either, but for a different reason.  I used to be kind of shallow, and looked in the mirror all the time, and I'm just like, hey your beautiful, get over it.  But sometimes when I go to the bathroom, I will think,"don't look in the mirror."  you know, because from all the movies and stuff.  But I just get the strength to look into it, and it is just me right there, and then I feel good.  Just get up the courage to look in the mirror, and it will only be you there staring at yourself, and it will remind you that it is only you who is in that mirror.  It takes a while, it doesn't happen overnight for that phobia to go away.  :)

I used to have a similar fear and then I started carrying a switch blade with me and learned how to fight and I decided, "s***w it if there is someone there I'll beat the c**p out of them!" My main fear was actually that I would see someone looking back at me out of the mirror and they would kill me. I have bigger things to be scared of now.

P.S. You have to spin around in circles or something to see "Bloody Mary". ( :

Think about biology and science when you look into a mirror. It usually helps me overcome my fears of spooks. I always ask myself how can they live if when according to biology, if you arer dead then you're dead. I try thinking very realistically when my imagination runs away with me.
