It wasn’t just a childish fear — whenever I looked into a mirror, I felt like a stranger was staring back. Sometimes, my reflection moved a second too late. Other times, its expression didn’t match mine.

The doctors called it Spectrophobia — fear of mirrors and the images they reflect.

I removed every mirror from my room. I avoided hotel bathrooms, fitting rooms, even shiny windows. My fear followed me everywhere, unseen but heavy.

But at twenty-five, I knew I had to face it.

One night, I locked myself inside a dim, dusty room — alone with a tall, cracked mirror. The silence screamed around me.

I stared into my own eyes.

And I saw him — the version of me I’d always feared. Not a monster, just… me. The part I had buried under fear, shame, and doubt.

I just… watched.

And for the first time, my reflection smiled with me — not at me.

The next morning, I hung a large mirror in my room.

Because now,
I’m no longer afraid to see myself.
