The deal is that I'm socially anxious since I can remember and has many common (some I got rid of) fears like dark
Today, I got back from school since teacher didn't come and lit up the light of the building to go up the stairs, since there's no elevator.
My family's apartment is on 5th floor so when I received messages in 1st floor I sat down to reply then the moment light gone out and I was about to shakily use flashlight someone go opened their door and I freaked out since I didn't know my neighbors from there well and would just end in awkward greeting that left me feeling murky inside.
My flashlight was still not on but I found myself run to next floor in a swift speed just so I can avoid sovial awkwardness, when actually my fear of dark was always there but it was like it went out of me that moment and I had no fear of an unknown creature in the dark.
To add, even know, I can't pass even half a floor when it's dark and I can ger hysterical with my prayers if there's no light at all, even crying sometimes.
So, it's just my social anxiety being stronger or my fear of dark lessened?

My sister began a family dispute by deliberately turning off the light when I was in toilet. And after my anger calmed down, I teared up and began to feel dizzy. So, I don't think my fear of dark got better after all
