I replied in here once before but since then I have noticed changes in my feelings towards the dark. When I was young I had an almost crippling fear of the dark, I couldn't even go in to my own garden! As I got older I learned to deal with it to an extent but still avoided solo camping, or being out alone at night. A few years ago I took a Job in a remote part of Cumbria with the cars snowed in I had no option to walk the mile to and from the farm in the pitch black, the first week or do I was absolutely bricking it but soon started to feel completely at ease out there an in tune with the surroundings, this feeling stayed with me when I returned to Bodmin moor but in the last year since returning to a relitively busy town I am back where I was 10 years ago. I feel very uneasy out on own again.
somebody said it was about conditioning and I somewhat agree but I feel it's is largely to do with the environment you are in day to day and your ability to adapt to new surroundings quickly. No doubt if I got out again I would improve but right now I'm stuck in a loop where I actively avoid that situation.
Has anybody else found this pattern to affect them?
